Way too early Cincinnati Bengals 2020 record prediction

Week 14: vs. Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboy’s biggest strength, offensive line, matches up nicely with the Bengals’ most powerful unit, the defensive line. Add in the fact that Dallas is loaded at the wide receiver position and has Ezekiel Elliot coming out of the backfield, and this causes the win-streak to come to a halt.

Prediction: Loss, 7-6

Week 15: vs. Pittsburg Steelers

As much as Bengals’ fans hate to admit it, the Steelers are extremely well-coached by Mike Tomlin and have a good, young defense. It should be a close contest, namely because Burrow plays his best when the pressure is the highest, but expecting a clean sweep in year one is asking too much.

Prediction: Loss, 7-7

Week 16: @ Houston Texans

The Texans appear to be in the middle of chaos after trading away superstar wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins this offseason. The Bengals’ defensive line will have a field day against Houston’s offensive line, making life difficult for Deshaun Watson, especially now that he’s without his best weapon.

Prediction: Win, 8-7

Week 17: vs. Baltimore Ravens

Bengals’ fans couldn’t ask for a more thrilling ending to their 2020 season. There’s a chance that the team could be in a position to sneak into the playoffs, but they may to get through the high-powered Ravens to do so. Is it possible? Absolutely. But for this prediction, we’ll go the conservative route.

Prediction: Loss, 8-8
