Season Predictions

[wolfkaosaun]

Week 1 @ Jets: I really like the Jets team. And believe this is going to be one of the harder games the Bengals play all year. With that said, I see the Bengals having a chip on their shoulder and squeezing out a win here. W

Week 2 @ Steelers: This is one of the highlighted games for the Bengals this year. It's going to be tough. It's going to be hard. But, judging by how the playoffs went last year, think the Bengals squeeze one out of here. W

Week 3 Broncos: That defensive line is arguably the best out there with rushing the QB. The defensive backs are no joke. But that offense is lackluster, especially with Sanchez most likely starting. Think it's a low scoring game, but Bengals win it. W

Week 4 Dolphins: I'm not a fan of Tannehill. Believe that defense is good, but I just don't believe in their QB. First national game, and think the Bengals go out and make a statement early on. W

Week 5 @ Cowboys: They have Romo and Bryant so there's always a possibility of them scoring. Who knows what they have in Zeke and that offensive line is the best out there. However, they have a pretty bad defense. Think Bengals win in shootout. W

Week 6 @ Patriots: Brady is coming back. It's a huge game for the Patriots because I don't think Garoppolo is going to do well so they could very well be below .500. Think this game goes in favor of the Pats in a tough game in the beginning, but lose in the end. L

Week 7 Browns: See this as being a trap type of game and a hard fought one as well. Browns have a lot of pieces on that team but always struggle. Think this is going to be hard fought and the Bengals win it, but it won't be easy. W

Week 8 Redskins: Ironic that the Bengals go against two former coaches in a row. Cousins has a lot of qualities that Dalton has, and they have quietly put together some good pieces. But don't think they're on the Bengals level just yet. W

Week 9 @ Giants: Eli Manning deserves a lot of credit for the past 2 years. He's had some great ones and that passing attack will be difficult. With that said, just like with Dallas, they lack a defense. Think this is another shootout the Bengals edge out. W

Week 10 Bills: Think this is the year the Bills push for a playoff spot. They seem to be believing in Ryan's system and I see this as a make or break game for them just like we saw with the Texans. Think this goes as a loss for the Bengals. L

Week 11 @ Ravens: I don't see much to the Ravens in all honesty. They haven't drafted well as of late and I just don't think they're going to be a good team. Bengals have done really well against them the past 3 years. W

Week 12 Eagles: Who knows who their QB is going to be with Bradford's injury history and also lackluster play. Think they will have an interesting offense, but they're rebuilding and don't see them stopping the Bengals. W

Week 13 @ Browns: Going to be another tough game and think the Browns will have a decent record. However, Bengals are looking at that #1 seed and don't want to mess up. They keep moving on. W

Week 14 Steelers: This is the game of the year. There's no doubt about it. Think it's going to be hard hitting. It's going to be dirty. It's going to be crazy. But I believe the Bengals sweep the Steelers for the first time since 2009. W

Week 15 @ Texans: This has slip up written all over it and who knows what injuries have taken place because of the Steelers game (happens every year to both teams). Love that defense, they're on the rise. I want to make this a win, but think they have a let down game after the Steelers. L

Week 16 Ravens: Again, I don't see the Ravens as a good football team right now. They're in rebuilding mode and their drafted players haven't shown up at all as of late. Think this a pretty easy win. W

Overall Record: 13-3
The Jets and two Steelers games I feel can go either way. But worst case scenario with what I predict, they still go 10-6 and could still make the playoffs.
