You're basing your optimism on us being in the game against the Chargers. Look...some 2 win teams actually won. It happens in the NFL.

We're not possibly the best team in the division. That's a delusion.

Nope... Nope.... Nope... Nope.

I am basing it on fact...  The Steelers are playing NE and NO.  Who do you think wins those match ups? 

The Browns go out to Denver.... Who do you pick?  We can beat the Browns, but if you think the Browns are a good team then I can see your point, but I just disagree.  Both of our teams are dysfunctional.  The Browns are just as susceptible to losing to us as we are to them.  So we laid an egg the first time.  Now we have a score to settle, beating a team once doesn't mean you beat them twice.  That is what makes divisional games so hard to predict.

Ravens are the WC (I don't mean playoffs), they have to go to LA and face the Chargers... Who do you pick?  They also have the Bucs, one of the best offenses in the NFL that has surprised some good teams this year. 

Let's play the if game.  If they Steelers, Ravens and Browns do in fact lose their next 2 games and the Bengals do in fact win their next 2 games.  Do you want the Bengals to beat the Steelers or do you want the Steelers to beat the Bengals?  Playing with the playoff generator would have the winner of that game going, no matter what happens with the Ravens and Browns.

I would say that if the Bengals were to win the division, that would make them the best team in the division.  Doesn't mean anything but a 1st round loss, but I would take it.  Of course playing with the playoff machine, depending on the AFC west we would get a rematch between the Chiefs or Chargers.  Now if I were to say we win a Playoff game it would be because of optimism based off of being in the game against the Chargers.
