I joined Matthew and Mikey on ESPN Radio Lexington this week to talk about the Bengals in the lead up to Week 1. We discussed my 10-6 prediction for the team and why I feel the Bengals can actually get to double digit wins this year.
We also talked about the team’s health — everyone but Cody Core should be good to go on Sunday. Plus, we discussed team morale, rookies on the Bengals’ roster and Jessie Bates stepping into a massive role starting in Week 1.
We went back to my conversation with Bates after the draft where he said his goal was to pick off Ben Roethlisberger, which he’ll get a chance to do in Week 6 for the first time as the Bengals take on the Steelers in Cincinnati.
