Bengals look really solid this year. Even when they play terrible (like last week against Pitt) they still have enough talent and find a way to win.


They have 3 or 4 tough games left on their schedule:

vs Texans

@ Cardinals (very tough)

vs Rams (tough, imo)

@ Browns

vs Steelers (tough)

@ 49ers

@ BRONCOS (very tough)

vs Ravens


If they can get through the next 6 games with only 1 or 2 losses,, that Week 16 game @Denver is going to be HUGE for playoff seeding implications. That game is scheduled for MNF. The Broncos will definitely want some payback,, as the Bengals beat them last season on MNF in Cincy.


The Broncos possibly may have a loss or two by then also. They have 2 or 3 tough games before that one.


vs Patriots

@ Steelers

vs Raiders


It's likely the Bengals and Broncos will have similar/identical records by their big Week 16 matchup.
