Here is where I disagree.   Play-offs or Not,  Why NOT Cincinnati beating Cleveland ?  To those that say draft position, you are too much into the draft, and not enough into the season and AFC North Rival Games.   The Bengals have a chance to beat Cleveland, something Bengals and Burrow haven't done very much.   For Pride, they should want to beat Cleveland.  Also beat Denver and AFC North Rival Pittsburgh to finish with with a Winning Record and some Wins against the AFC North Rivals.  Football People know this even if people only into draft day do not.  THIS is a Rival Game Week, and players and coaches not UP for Rival Games have no business on the team.  The draft is in April, but The Rival Game is NOW, so WIN IT, because THAT is Football.  If the Steelers were 6-8, they would be trying to beat AFC North teams.  If the Bengals can't have that same fire, then they have no business in the NFL. 

Play-offs or Not......Beat Cleveland.
