If the Bengals can finish the year 9-8 or better while keeping Burrow healthy, then I'm feeling optimistic about next season and the playoffs.

5-4 is great going into the bye, but seeing the back half of the schedule, I think getting a winning record could still be tough.

Chargers, Chiefs, Browns, Ravens will all probably be favored after the bye.
If the Bengals lose those games, they'd end up with 8 losses (assuming they lose two more before the bye).
Raiders I could see going either way, but maybe favoring LV given they are playing in LV.
I can see the Bengals getting a win against PIT and probably one of 49ers or Broncos.
So probably at best 10 wins, but more realistically 7-9 wins.
