Prediction: Coming out of Bye, Bengals will win 4 straight and move to 8-7 with Denver @ Home
It’s not that far fetched. No more kryptonite teams on our schedule.
- I think we beat the Steelers @ home. Just one of those games we usually win as it sets up with long rest at home.
2 and 3. Cowboys away, Titans away. All the sudden you’re a .500 team and back in business. The team starts to believe. The train is rolling down the tracks.
Browns, often a trappy game, but this one’s at home and don’t see them overcoming a Bengals team now dead set on winning. Chase goes hog wild in this one.
Massive game with Denver @ Home, with DEN either a game ahead or even (they’re highly likely to lose at least 1-2 games before facing us). Denver is overmatched. We leap frog them for a playoff seed, which we then need to defend @ Pittsburgh for our last game of the season.
If Burrow is the leader we want him to be and Zach can dig deep to lead, prepare, and not leave points on the field, they can make it. I really like how the post-bye matchups are lining up, and if the Bengals deserve to be a playoff team, they should be able to run the table.
