I think the Chargers will be the 5-seed (and I think they could give the Chiefs fits if they make it to the divisional round).
So the Bengals, as the 3 (maybe 2), will most likely face the Ravens again with an outside shot at the Patriots/Steelers/Dolphins. I would expect the Bengals to be touchdown favorites at home against all four of those teams. If I had to choose, then I would avoid the division rivals just because of their familiarity -- but whatever. The Bengals have no business losing to any of them.
Edit: I forgot the 2-seed implies the Patriots getting in. So technically they'd be the preferred opponent. I have zero fear of the Ravens though.
