First thing that jumped out at me is that 4 of the first 6 games are on the road.

I think the Bengals can go 7-9 or 8-8 imo. The best possible case if everything would fall right I think is 9-7 and hopefully no worse than 6-10 I hope.

I think week 15 is MNF.

6 and 10 is what I thought on the first glance at the schedule.

Yes I added that.

I agree that 9-7 or 8-8 is probably wishful thinking but one can always hope. Hey one way to look at it I guess even if we go 6-10 we've tripled out win total from last season. lol

The Bengals schedule is the sixth-easiest schedule based on their opponents' 2019 winning percentage. However unfortunately for the Bengals (thanks to their 2-14 record in 2019) the other 3 teams in their division have the 4th easiest (Browns) 2nd easiest (Steelers) and the easiest schedule in the league (Ravens).:idunno:::banghead:

Who can/will they beat on that schedule?

I think they can beat Dolphins, Redskins, Jaguars, Giants, Chargers, and I think maybe 2 wins in the division.

Browns, Steelers, Chargers, Jags, Redskins, Giants, Dolphins. I count 9 winnable games. But this season is as big of an unknown as any season I can ever remember. I legitimately have no clue how it will turn out and wouldn’t even know where to predict a win/loss record. The games I listed are games that I think the Bengals have close to or a better roster today then. No idea how it comes together. For the fun of it, I’ll predict 8-8. The last time we went 2-14 the next season we went 8-8 and didn’t even start our #1 overall pick. Anyone who pretends to be an expert on what to expect from the 2020 Cincinnati Bengals positive or negative is full of themselves.

I don't like division rivals being loaded into one half of the schedule. I think teams should play one game against each division rival in the first half and one in the second half.

Interesting the first game vs the Chargers has a 4:05 start time instead of 1 which is a benefit to the Chargers with the time difference.

I think it is more the Joe Burrow effect. Having the Bengals play at 4 puts them more at a time, where more fans would watch Burrows first start.

Very true. The Bengals play 4 of their last 6 at home. So if the Bengals could be sitting at around 5 and 5 going into their last 6 games. They will at least have a shot to play itself into contention with a lot of home games to end the season.
