The Bengals have a major test this week against the Saints, a game in which virtually no one is picking Cincinnati to win.
Between the Saints being the league’s hottest teams and A.J. Green being out this week, this may be turn out to be the hardest game for Cincinnati to win this season, and that’s saying something after the Week 7 debacle in Kansas City.
Still, even if the Bengals lose this week, they could remain in great shape for a playoff berth if they get some help from other teams.
