I'm interested to see how this season plays out for multiple teams and I will use some green to back up my intuition. Of course I would love to hear feed back from Pregame community and see if together we can discuss winners. Feel free to comment and bring light to any agreement or disagreement. Thanks
Bengals UNDER 6.5
This team is tough to watch in all areas. Last year I'm almost positive they were last in rush yards, Mixon is a beast and he finished top 5 in rushing but he is clearly the highlight of this team and I don't think it will take long for defenses to make adjustments especially with AJ Green banged up. I have absolutely no faith in Dalton as a QB either. On defense these guys are bad, real bad dead last in total defense and gave up up about 28 a game. Ouch. Looking at their schedule too.... Who do we have them beating?
I figure they will beat:
Cardinals and Jets and potentially 49ers at home. Although looks like 49ers are going to be pretty decent. Let's just say for the sake of the total they win against those 3.
Then we have Bill, Raiders, Dolphins all away.... Dolphins are awful so that's most likely their 4th win and then they will have to go on the road and beat Bills & Raiders not the hardest of road games but Bills will be the first of a back to back because right after the Bills they play Steelers. I also don't know anyone who will be able to cover Antonio Brown when they play the Raiders so he legit might be open the entire game. sooooooo I do think the Bengals could potentially win these games I have mentioned but if they do not....The rest of the schedule looks like a nightmare if you're a Bengals fan. ANDDDD that would only be 6 wins! Bills, Dolphins, Raiders, 49ers, Jets, and Cardinals still have a hook for comfort! haha
