These next 4 games will be very important for the Bengals because of the tough end of the schedule.  Bengals are 3-3 and the next 4 games are Falcons at home, Browns in Cleveland Prime time, Panthers at home, and Squeelers in Pittsburgh SNF Primetime. These are very important games for the Bengals schedule because they are the winnable portion to set them up at 7-3 before doing the nightmare part of the schedule stretch. Titans in Tennessee, Chiefs at home, Browns (with Watson) at home, Bucs in Tampa Bay, Patriots at Gillette, Bills at home primtime, and Ravens at home.


The Bengals need these next 4 (3 at least) wins to set them up for a playoff record needing only around 3 (or 4) more wins during that hard part of the schedule to at least sneak in as a Wildcard. These are winnable games and playoff teams win games they should.

I agree with how important it is to get the next 4. I'm just not as on board anymore with how tough the back end of their schedule is. We said the same thing last year and they finished pretty strong by the time we got to those games. 

While those late games are easily tougher than the next 4, i don't think they should be considered underdogs in any of them other than possibly the Bills game (depending on what the Bengals record is at the time). @Tenn and @TB i don't see being more than the usual 3 they give the home team and it will prob be more like +1/+2. 

I agree with the bolded 100%.
