La Confora picks the Bengals as one of six teams headed for an ugly season.

"Joe Burrow has been very upfront about the mental demons he is facing coming back from major knee surgery. And all the coaches are saying the right thing … But this is going to be an arduous process and no one is flicking a switch Week 1. Last year's injury will bleed into this season and there remain major questions about the linemen comprising the first-team offensive line. "The interior offensive line is a problem," said one exec who has watched the Bengals. Ja'Marr Chase will ultimately be fine, but a case of the yips or the drops or whatever you want to call them can in no way be construed as a positive development. Playing in the AFC North does them no favors. The specter of how Burrow's rookie season ended will hang over them, and this team should be better in December than it is in September, but anytime your franchise QB is going through something like this it's going to color your training camp panorama, and conjure questions."

In the past La Canfora has been pretty far off when picking against the Bengals, so perhaps this article is a good thing.

I like him but he's just some goober reporter whose predictions are no better than anyone else who casually watches the Bengals practices or reads articles from the homepage, athletic, etc.
