I think all the talk of schedules is kind of junk, to be honest. Both teams beat very good opposition (e.g., Chiefs for us; Rams, Chiefs, and Bills for them) and lost to very bad opposition (e.g., Jets and Bears for us; Jets and Texans for them). They beat more great teams than the Bengals did for whatever that is worth. The Bengals lost a coin flip game in OT to the Packers. Whatever. I think that stuff tends to be self-serving analysis and Raiders fans were doing it too.
