I think we will win 1 or 2. Winning too much actually could actually hurt this offseason, we could pull a Falcons and win out of Penei Sewell or Wyatt Davis.
If they win 2 of the next 4 (I like to take it in quarters), they will be 3-4-1 heading in to the BYE. That is a notch below the .500 teams, but you then face pitt, Washington, NYG, and Miami. That is a schedule where you could go 3-1 and be 6-5-1 heading in to the final four games. Dallas, pitt, Houston, and a Ravens team that might have nothing to play for. Possible you could go 3-1 again and you are 9-6-1 and ahead of teams at 9-7 for that final playoff spot.
I know it is a long shot, but we are seeing that Burrow alone keeps them in every game. We got pummeled by Baltimore twice last year with a horrible game from Dalton and a worse game by Finley. This team is going to be competitive every week.
I won't go as far as to say we are playing with house money, but it is kind of fun to see how they will measure up now against the best in the league.
