Rain is suppose to take over around Half Time until way after the game. The problem with Rain and Slop is it can help a bad team beat a good team. So Bengals should try to get out in front in the First Half, because I've seen those at Jets or Giants games in the rain, and the wind and rain in that stadium does crazy things to the football. Hard to pass, hard to kick. So having a lead at Halftime may be crucial for Bengals. The 2nd Half may be just awful to try to move the ball in.

A bad team is still a bad team, if your not ahead at half you are playing bad yourself.

Bengals really aren’t a first half team, but establishing the run early and if they can make a couple plays through the air, they should be in the drivers seat come half time.
I think they will have a fg lead by half, then come out and put it away

Hopefully they will be looking at the weather as well, and we'll be up at least 2 touchdowns by the half, then we can just feed Mixon and Perine the ball during the 2nd half.

According to my weather app there's only a 20% chance of rain and a high of 61 for New York on Sunday.

We ARE the best at scoring right before halftime though.
We need to look to running the ball a lot in this game unless it isn't working. I bet it will work though with Carman coming along
and Spain just playing fantastic this season.

Enter, Joe Mixon.

Rain isn't an issue for any team in the modern NFL, outside of outlier games like the raining river or whatever from last week, monsoon conditions or the Pittsburgh vs. Miami affair where the rain was so heavy, it screwed up the field.
I don't see an issue, weather-wise.

It would be great if this team comes in and throttles them early and continue to send the message that the bengals have arrived. I’d laugh the entire time I’m trick or treating with my daughter
