I thought 10-6 and wildcard spot at the start of the season.
I think 8-8 now....i think the Redskins game is critical on the schedule
If they win that in London then they go into the bye week at 4-4 (they surely will beat the Browns) and will have some momentum going into a run of winnable games.
If they lose that, they get to stew on a loss for two weeks and the cracks might start to appear. I also think that if they're 3-5 at the bye they struggle to get to break even the rest of the way

I believe I said 11-5
There's little chance without a huge turn around in so many areas for this team to break .500 8-8 is best case and 7-9 is more likely.

Too early prediction is that we beat the Bills and Ravens head to head so we can get the 2nd wildcard spot.

When the schedule first came out, I was thinking 10-6. Now, I'm thinking 7-9 at best. So far, the team has been underwhelming.

Heres my review after 5 games if anyone gets the reference
"If the most important thing is the financials' and the second most important thing is winning, then you don't have a chance. It's so important for ownership to do what it takes to win"

I say the Bengals can pull 10-6....realistically.....really.
Here's how...
Wins: CLE, @CLE, WAS, NYG, @HOU, BAL
Losses: @NE, PIT, @BAL
Toss Ups: BUF, PHI
Take the two toss up games and they are 10-6, back into the playoffs, have no expectations, and pull off the upset to break the streak.
They only have to win 2 road games @CLE and @HOU to do that (very realistic), and could surprise PIT or @BAL to get to 11-5.
People bail too easily when things get tough.
