College teams routinely have multiple cupcake home field advantage games at the beginning of the season against teams with no shot due to overwhelming taken and level of play differences who are just there to collect a paycheck in return for being sacrificial lambs.

Bengals play the Titans in Week 4
Bengals play the Cardinals in Week 5
