Some early take away's I see. 

1) We have 9 home games.

2) We have a span of 35 days between road games from Oct. 12th-Nov. 16th. 3 home games and the bye.

3) Last 2 weeks of regular season are home games vs. the Cardinals and Browns.

4) Our first 5 weeks we play 3 teams who made 2024 playoffs. All 3 in a row with 2 on the road.

5) Make or break part of schedule IMO is week 13, 14, & 15. Play at Ravens, at Bills, and Ravens home. 

6) They also have the least amount of travel of any NFL team this season.

Heck ACC and Big 10 football teams will travel more than the Bengals. lol

Road trip!

I see 11 losses.

None of those games are scary. The defense is still the biggest question about this squad but they could very well win 11 or 12 games.

Where does Hendrickson fit in this contract list?

They built it up like Trey was really old. Not much older than Myles or Watt. Bengals need to pay him or they will have a terrible season.

I love that the Bengals are playing on Thanksgiving. With that said, what is up with the NFL making the Bengals play a prime time game on the road against the Ravens four years in a row, and also on Thursdays!

I think place would have went crazy, if the Bengals were hosting that Thanksgiving night game. I think it would have been one of the best atmospheres ever at a Bengals game. As this town down go crazy for big events like that.

Then we go to Buffalo the next week and right back to our second meeting with the Ravens, what a three game stretch! 

I'm thinking a pre-Christmas vacation in Florida taking in the Dolphins game on 12/21 would be nice!

Knock on wood, fortunately the bengals seem to play their best at the end of the year when those games take place. Just hopefully they take care of business at the first half of the year for once now too.
