Given the fact that we lost to the Jets and then got blown out by the Browns and how down we're all, including me, feeling, that we need some good news.
Sportsnaut has us finishing the year at 11-6!
I realize that health and better coaching are keys, but it's nice to see a respectable website having such high hopes for us!
They go game-by-game for the remaining schedule:
We have to be clicking and be balanced, but I absolutely believe that we can match them and have our defense slow them down, especially with them losing Ruggs.
Ben can't throw the ball downfield anymore and I think our defense is fired up in The Jungle and sacks him 4+ times, just like the first matchup.
Let's hope that coming from the West Coast and playing at 1 messes with their bodies/heads and we just run Mixon down their throats and tire them out. I hope Taylor game plans properly for this one and doesn't try and throw it a lot to show off.
I hope we can handle them this easy. Just play our game and it should be a W because they don't scare me.
Hopefully they're right and our interior defensive line can start getting a push like they were earlier in the year and make life hell on quarterbacks with our ends getting sacks.
It's hard to argue with that but, again, I hope our interior defensive line starts playing great again and helps to shut down the run. They only had 115 yards rushing in the first game and that was in their house.
Hard to argue that but who knows?
Burrow owns the Browns!

They go game-by-game for the remaining schedule:
Quote:The Raiders have had a great offense this year. Cincy can match that and bring a dominant defense to Vegas. Give us the thriving Bengals here.
Week 11 prediction: Bengals 41, Raiders 31
We have to be clicking and be balanced, but I absolutely believe that we can match them and have our defense slow them down, especially with them losing Ruggs.
Quote:Pittsburgh hasn’t experienced nearly the same success as they did in 2020. The Bengals are ready to take their spot as AFC North threats, week in, week out.
Week 12 prediction: Bengals 20, Steelers 16
Ben can't throw the ball downfield anymore and I think our defense is fired up in The Jungle and sacks him 4+ times, just like the first matchup.
Quote:New Chargers coach Brandon Staley is one of the game’s premier defensive minds, yet Joe Burrow is far ahead of most second-year quarterbacks. Both teams have a good defense, but the Bengals have a great one. Joe Mixon should be able to run all over one of the worst defenses against the run. In the Burrow vs Herbert matchup, the No. 1 pick wins.
Week 13 prediction: Bengals 38, Chargers 27
Let's hope that coming from the West Coast and playing at 1 messes with their bodies/heads and we just run Mixon down their throats and tire them out. I hope Taylor game plans properly for this one and doesn't try and throw it a lot to show off.
Quote:The 49ers haven’t had a potent offense, nor a crushing D. Meanwhile, the Bengals have both.
Week 14 prediction: Bengals 30, 49ers 16
I hope we can handle them this easy. Just play our game and it should be a W because they don't scare me.
Quote:It won’t matter whether Teddy Bridgewater is still starting or if Drew Lock gets a chance, the Bengals will be able to contain either one. Neither quarterback has shown anything to scare any defenses, especially not any as good as Cincy’s.
Week 15 prediction: Bengals 31, Broncos 17
Hopefully they're right and our interior defensive line can start getting a push like they were earlier in the year and make life hell on quarterbacks with our ends getting sacks.
Quote:As long as they’re not playing from behind, this Ravens offense travels as well as any in football, because it doesn’t require a high volume of pass attempts to get the job done. They’re going to be ready this time around, with Cincy hitting them in the mouth in Week 7.
Week 16 prediction: Ravens 31, Bengals 23
It's hard to argue with that but, again, I hope our interior defensive line starts playing great again and helps to shut down the run. They only had 115 yards rushing in the first game and that was in their house.
Quote:Rough. The Chiefs were supposed to be Super Bowl contestants, now the Bengals look like contenders, while superstar Patrick Mahomes has had an up-and-down year. We expect Mahomes to bounce back with a strong finish to the season.
Week 17 prediction: Chiefs 35, Bengals 28
Hard to argue that but who knows?
Quote:Burrow lit up the Browns in both meetings last season, that theme should continue for many years to come. All the hype was on Cleveland before the year began, but it’s pretty clear the Bengals are the better Ohio team at this point.
- Week 18 prediction: Bengals 35, Browns 21
Burrow owns the Browns!
WHO-DEY!
Facts don't care about your feelings. BIG THANKS to Holic for creating that gif!
