Not saying that's gonna be the case here, but you have to be concerned. Hopefully the Jags come out on fire and want to win at home for a change, and get that streaky win-loss-win-loss thing off theri backs. If they can win this game this week, that gives them a big push for next week's game. This team needs to get momentum going and build up wins.

That said, I don't think this is as easy a game as some are hoping. I know I've been saying that a lot this season, but the offense has to keep up with the defense in this game. This is not the Colts, but a Bengals team with a nasty defense. The Jags need to play this game sharply

I still think that the Jags win this game. 
But, looking at it a little closer:
The Bengals may have started out 0-3 (losing a game at Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers that they had won but "Bungled" it away.)

But, they are 3-1 over the last four games. 
They're starting to look better,  although their offense is still not good (particularly the O-line.)

Jags 4-3
Bengals 3-4

This game could potentially be very important to any Wildcard positioning if the Jags don't win the division. 

Jags need to put this game in their back pockets as a victory. They definitely don't need to have a similar record to Cincy at the end and having been beaten by them head to head.
