I live in Cincy and have endured the bad years...and the bad years...and the Carson Palmer injury...and the bad years....I have paid attention to the preseason in Georgetown, KY this year....I have watched the pre season games....I have made the following bet and feel pretty comfortable about it....
Cincinnati Bengals U 7.5 wins -- -135 -- 20 units
Yep, this is my largest wager on this site and pretty much I've ever made. If I lose this, well, late January will not be a good time in my household. Either way, I've made my decision. I don't see the Bengals winning any more than 6 games this year. And thats if things go well. This team is in absolute shambles. Many say, "well, Chad and TJ haven't played...and neither has Rudy." Well, IMHO, it doesn't matter. I'm a big Carson fan...and I think he's a great leader...but honestly, I think he's pretty much given up on this year. It doesn't matter how great Chad and TJ are...if you don't have a running game and and you're offensive line is swiss cheese and doesn't give your talented QB 3 seconds to get a pass off...it doesn't really matter. The Bengals D is suspect at best...their offensive line is atrocious. Carson has been getting killed the entire preseason...he left the game last night with blood gushing from his nose...down his mouth onto his chin. He sincerely had a look like..."WTF?" After the signing of Chris Henry, it showed that Marvin no longer has control of this team. Mike Brown is again making the personnel decisions. Well, look no further than than the 90's and early 2000's. This is going to be a brutal season for the Bengals. Look at this schedule and tell me where they are going to find 8 wins....

I honestly think I would have taken UNDER on 6.5 wins..let alone 7.5. I think this is an absolute gift. Its going to be a LONG fall for Bengals' fans. I honestly think they will be lucky to find 5 wins with this schedule. A less than adequate defense...an offensive line that can't stop anyone (NO and Det)...its going to be BAD, BAD, BAD.
I honestly don't think, as a Bengals homer, I'm underestimating this team. They simply suck.
I'll root for them every game...either way...I don't see them going .500 this year...not even close.
GL!!
