Does everybody else feel like me in that Burrow just makes you feel like you’ve got a chance no matter who you’re playing??

Absolutely.

And the Bengals have never won a road playoff game.

I think it's time for these streaks to end this week too.

Never? That is mind boggling.

I heard it on the radio this morning and had to look it up to confirm. It’s hard to believe.

He's got that Joe Namath swagger, but with the ability to back it up just about every time.

Who Dey!

That's what you thought last week too.

Yup.

Is it Saturday yet?

Trey Hendrickson was full go in practice yesterday meaning he will probably clear the concussion protocol and play.

The Titans are doing something with tickets to limit Bengal fans from attending the game.  I don't really understand it but whatever Titans. 

We signed DT Zach Kerr off the Arizona practice squad, he is an 8 year NFL vet and a run stopper.

Shayne Graham is high on the Bengals and kicker Evan McPherson. 

Anybody got anything?  I am ready.

Who Dey!

From CincyJungle.com the Broadcasters: Ian Eagle (play-by-play), Charles Davis (analyst) and Evan Washburn (sideline reporter).

Weather.com has the forecast as 39 and sunny now.  With a 430 start that should give us some interesting shadows on the field of play and it should make the uniforms pop with the clearly superior cameras that are used in the these games.

The Vegas line still has the Titans as 3.5.  The Tp94 Power Ratings see it this way:

Cincinnati    52.94    (11-7)
Tennessee    50.66    (12-5)

I didn't know this from Bengals.com:

And then there's Chase, everyone's rookie of the year, going against Fulton, his old high school teammate at Archbishop Rummel in New Orleans and college teammate at LSU. Burrow (overall No. 1) and Fulton (61st) came out of Baton Rouge in the 2020 draft.

"I will talk," Chase says. "I've been waiting for it. I know he's been waiting for it. If he's been watching film, he knows me. I don't know if I look the same to him."

Chase says he and Fulton haven't texted or talked this week and he doesn't plan to. He says they connect once in a while during the season, but they usually spend some time together in the offseason back home in New Orleans. They also ran track together, but there was no pact to go to Baton Rouge together. They made the decision separately.

================

Chase and Fulton sound like good friends and those subplots are always interesting.

Also from Bengals.com:

While the Titans are very good against the run (fifth), they are in the bottom ten in pass defense. But they are top ten against intermediate passes.

Zach Kerr is 6-2, 334-pound and was quoted on Bengals.com: "Just help stop the run," Kerr said. "Be where I'm supposed to be. My biggest thing is don't be wrong. Do it the right way. Do it the Bengal way." And: "I've done that before," Kerr said. "Practice two days and play."

As everyone can tell, I am ready to go!

Knowing the Bengals' history, is it really all that shocking?

No.

I had a dream the other night the Bengals defeated the Titans. Before you think I am Joseph of Canaan, most of my prognostications are typically off base. 

I'm torn with this game. I think many Northern Kentucky folks don't realize they aren't the team of choice the further west you head in the Commonwealth... that would be the Tennessee Titans. So they are my "hometown" team, but never really had a liking to them. As a kid I went over, with my aunt, to Mike Brown's house to visit his wife, so I've always held onto that and believe I am part of the organization ?

If I were a betting man (and I am!), I like the Titans as the "Nobody Believes in Us" team, despite their #1 seed.

I have seen you root for the Bengals in person bug, just sayin.
