But it makes sense for me that these guys simply rely on history for their picks...it takes less analysis.  Let's see:  does any of those teams listed have a better defense?  No.  Are any of those teams as balanced on offense?  No.  Special teams?  0-3.  Chip on their shoulder for the schedule?  The assbag coaches fine rescinded? The three game suspension of their star player but no flag for the steeler? 

It all makes sense that no one but the Bengals believes in the Bengals and I am just fine with that...because those predictions don't automatically qualify you for the playoffs.  You have to earn it.  Dalton and the boys will prove themselves again in the regular season and finish it with a playoff run...possibly all the way to a Super Bowl win.  It all comes down to health.

And what about the five years before that when the Bengals had their starting QB?
