The Bengals have suddenly become the "bad guys" again for no reason, after last season's "Cinderella Story."
and this year the "feel good narrative" will be a SB win for Buffalo for Hamlin.

Mark it down.

Buffalo?  Over the State Farm Chiefs?  I have seen a lot of teams that moved to a new city end up on the big game recently thereafter.  Often a team with minimal success up until then.  I wagered a bit that it might be the Raiders this season.  Swing and a miss.  Then I started thinking:  The Chargers moved as well.  They have one of the smallest fan bases in the US, but are now in one of the largest markets.  I could see them taking down Jax and then surprising the Chiefs and coming to Cincy for the AFC title game.  Wouldn't it be fun if it was like sub-zero in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Freezer Bowl?
