Even though the Bengals would make the playoffs if the season ended today, there is still a weird feeling about the team. Their latest win against the Buccaneers felt more like a loss, and the Bengals are coming off of a stretch of three bad games in a row.
But there are some good things about the team to write home about. The Bengals entered their bye week with a record of 5-3 and could still win the division. There are only three games left on the schedule against winning opponents, so the Bengals should get to nine or 10 wins, which is what we predicted before the season began.
