The Jets were the 10th overall offense, and 11th scoring offense last year and they added Matt Forte. The Bengals got rid of their INT leader and their best LB is suspended.

First 6 weeks (no Burfict): 20.3 pts/gm
Final 10 weeks (Burfict): 15.7 pts/gm

And that's with Nelson being 2nd team All-Pro at S, giving Kirkpatrick over the top help.

Don't get me wrong, I predicted the Bengals will win this game, but not by holding Marshall/Decker/Forte to 3 or 10 points. They're going to pick on Kirkpatrick and Maualuga in the passing game. 20-17

Well lets go through it then. Im not sure why people are so hyped up on mart forte. Im a matt forte fan but he is the same as chris ivory. they had the exact same number if yards from scrimmage 1287 last year so i dont understand all the hype of a 30 year old rb. Marshall will be covered by the same cb that held ab to 130 yards recieving in 3 games combined. He is the most underated cb in the nfl. Our one weak spot is kirkpatrick against decker. Thats the only variable. Its not a matteof their offense its a matter of how good our defense is. I just dont see it. Then their is their defense. You pointed out well be without burfict well they will be without their best defensive threat too. Also we have aj green against an aging revis who got burned bad multiple times in multiple games last year. Oh yeah we also have tyler boyd going against buster skrine who allowed 19 tds last year. Add it all up and maybe they score10 but i do not see any more than that and i dont eeven see them getting that.
