There it is folks. Now the question comes how many games will the Bengals win this season? After an 11-5 record in 2013 Cincinnati looks to build off of that. Unfortunately they may not be able to.
Games against New England, Denver, Carolina, Indianapolis, and New Orleans could all easily be losses for a team that lost a key defensive player and has not added much in terms of offensive power.
In conference the Bengals could easily win the division again. Cleveland will likely be bad again this season, Pittsburgh continues to rebuild without much avail, Baltimore will once again be the biggest challenger to the Bengals.
Prediction: 10-5, wildcard birth, 4th first round exit in a row.
Not a popular statement but a realist one.
