Sure Andy and the O is on fire, but Seattle still has a great D and play "ball control" except for Wilson being prone to getting the ball poked out. Though the long arm freak DL's will help Cincy, I think they try to keep an extra blocker in for Wilson more. Cincy will get some sacks and a fumble, but it's not going to be a shootout. Eifert will make a few clutch catches, but I can really see Cincy using a lot of screens to keep the Cover 3 honest.
Bengals 20
Seahawks 16
The Seahawks have given up 34 points to the Rams and 27 to the Packers in their 2 road games this year.
The Bengals have averaged 30.6 points per game over their last 18 home games, scoring 30+ 11 times.
So yeah. Maybe not as preposterous as you think.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
