Week 1 Denver Broncos: New QB, new coach, on the road. Seems a lot for Denver to overcome. Edge: Bengals.
Week 2 @ Green Bay Packers: Better Lambeau in September than Lambeau in December. Edge: Even.
Week 3 Pittsburgh Steelers: When was the last time we won against Pitt at PBS? 1842? Edge: Steelers.
Week 4 @ Cleveland Browns: If we beat them in Cleveland with Fitz, we can beat them with Palmer. Edge: Bengals.
Week 5 @ Baltimore Ravens: Playoff team, second straight road game, division opponent. Edge: Ravens.
Week 6 Houston Texans: They kicked our asses 35-6 last year. Edge: Texans.
Week 7 Chicago Bears: Always a tough D, now with real QB added. Edge: Bears.
Week 8: Bye
Week 9 Baltimore Ravens: Better than us until we prove otherwise. Edge: Baltimore.
Week 10 @ Pittsburgh Steelers: Pitt and Cincy like to swap wins in each others’ houses. Edge: Bengals.
Week 11 @ Oakland Raiders: Black hole always sucks Bengals in. Edge: Oakland.
Week 12 Cleveland Browns: Browns may have stabilized by now. Or quit, who knows. Edge: Even.
Week 13 Detroit Lions: Gonna lose your mind in Detroit, rock city. Edge: Bengals.
Week 14 @ Minnesota Vikings: Me and you and a Madieu, passin’ and a-runnin’ Adrian. Edge: Vikings.
Week 15 @ San Diego Chargers: Yeah, right. Edge: Chargers.
Week 16 Kansas City: See week 4 above. Edge: Bengals.
Week 17 @ New York Jets: Final game in storied Giants Stadium. Edge: Jets.
Final tally:
- Edge Bengals: 4
- Even: 2
- Edge opponent: 10
Figure that the Bengals take 75% of “their” games, 50% of even games, 25% of opponent games: 3 + 1 + 2.5 = 6.5.
Absolutely worthless pre-draft, pre-camp, pre-everything 2009 season projection: 7-9.
