what we know so far

week 1 Sep 12 Minnesota
week 2 Sep 19 @Chicago
week 3 Sep 26 @Pittsburgh
week 4 Sep 30 (thurs) Jacksonville
week 5 Oct 10 Green Bay
week 6 Oct 17 @Detroit
week 7 Oct 24 @Baltimore
week 8 Oct 31 @ New York Jets
week 9 Nov 7 Browns
week 10 Nov 14 @Las Vegas
week 11 Nov 21 bye
week 12 Nov 28 Pittsburgh
week 13 Dec 5 Chargers
week 14 Dec 12 San Francisco
week 15 Dec 19 @Denver
week 16 Dec 26 Baltimore
week 17 Jan 2 Kansas City
week 18 Jan 9 @Cleveland

If this is true the first half of season is the easier half despite the travel. 5 of the last 7 games are at home but those last 3 weeks are brutal. Bye comes in a good place for a 17 game schedule

[*bfine32*]

I'll be interested in travelling to that Vegas game. Make a long weekend of it.

The 17th opponent added to the schedule is against the 49ers but that doesn't mean the actual 17th game played is against them

IDK what impact it will have (or could have had) on early season performances, but...

Sewell has COVID and will miss rookie minicamp. Ironic after sitting out.

Man, this brings back (such bad) memories. I remember hitting up Mile High for that Monday nighter six or seven years ago. Both Andy and Peyton were out; it was the Battle of Osweiler and AJ. The cold was unbelievable, tho. I had to buy a pair of Broncos gloves from the Pro Shop to keep my fingers warm... fully decked out in orange and black with little Broncos gloves.  

Game went to OT and it was pure torture. We could not get out of there fast enough. Quite possibly the coldest night of my life. When you're talking about Denver in December--- nobody wins lol

[*Nately120*]

I predict a prediction of a whole lotta touches for Mixon followed by ZT calling 50+ passes for Burrow when the game actually starts.

How do you get covid-19 at this point? What is this? April of 2020?

final schedule

[Clark W Griswold]

Week 10 is the bye so the league treated the bengals good with that and opening at home again.
Still will be a tough schedule...

the front half is definitely easier than the back half opponent wise.  It is actually a really good one for a young team with a lot of new pieces

40k a day still getting it.

[jj22]

Will Zac survive a best case scenario 4-6 start.

One primetime game (the one teams are guaranteed each year), shows Burrow wasn't enough to bring the spotlight to the city. Wins is the only solution to getting national attention.

[leonardfan40]

Pretty good draw for the Bengals considering we already knew the teams. Bye week in the middle of the year. All of the teams I wanted to play early are in the first half of the year except SF and they won’t start Lance early anyway so playing them late may be better.

Schedule looks easy. 13-4
