![]() ![]() Bengals win, 8-3 Week 13 – Monday, December 4 at Jacksonville Jaguars. Combined with Pittsburgh’s notoriously anemic offense, and this should be an easy win for Cincinnati. This time around, the Bengals are much more equipped to deal with Watt and the Steelers pass rush. The first game of the 2022 season saw a game filled with gaffes and a healthy dose of TJ Watt on Joe Burrow’s body. Bengals win, 7-3 Week 12 – Sunday, November 26 at Pittsburgh Steelers Ultimately, the Bengals’ cohesive offense should edge out the Ravens. Both teams will come into this game on a four-day rest, so that cancels out any fatigue-related advantage. Bengals win, 6-3 Week 11 – Thursday, November 16 at Baltimore RavensĪs mentioned earlier, any battle against division rivals are tough, and the Ravens are the toughest among their opponents. The Texans have promise, but they’re far too young to compete with a title contender like Cincinnati. Houston Texansīarring some crazy improvements, this should be another schedule win for the Bengals. Bills win, 5-3 Week 10 – Sunday, November 12 vs. ![]() It’s likely going to be a close game, though, so this could very well flip in Cincy’s favor. ![]() won’t let the Bengals get three straight on them, especially with Von Miller returning. They eliminated them last season in relatively easy fashion. All of the talk in the AFC is between the Bengals and the Chiefs (more on that later), but the Bills also have an axe to grind against Cincy. 49ers win, 5-2 Week 9 – Sunday, November 5 vs, Buffalo Bills Between Kyle Shanahan’s offensive genius and San Francisco’s stifling pass-rush, this might be a challenge too tough for the Bengals to handle. By this point in the season, one of Brock Purdy or Trey Lance should be back to lead the offense. The Bengals finish off the gauntlet against the NFC West with a game against the best team in the division, the 49ers. Bengals win, 5-1 Week 8 – Sunday, October 29 at San Francisco 49ers Cincy still should be favored to win this game, but it’s definitely not going to be an easy contest like their other games through the NFC West. The Seahawks can and probably will give the Bengals fits in Week 6, even if they’re at home. Seattle SeahawksĪ year ago, we would’ve pegged this as an easy schedule win a-la the Cardinals above. Bengals win, 4-1 Week 6 – Sunday, October 15 vs. Still, that doesn’t really move the needle much for Arizona. It’s worth noting that Kyler Murray might return from his injury around this point. Barring any shocking surprises, this should be a win for the Bengals even if it’s their second straight game on the road. The Cardinals might just be the worst team in football this season. Bengals win, 3-1 Week 5 – Sunday, October 8 at Arizona Cardinals. An improved offensive line that has had time to gel at this point should allow Burrow to pick apart the defense without fearing for his life. Much like the Rams, Tennessee has taken a step back from their previous form. Bengals win, 2-1 Week 4 – Sunday, October 1 at Tennessee TitansĪnother rematch from the Bengals’ 2022 postseason run, this time against the Titans. Ultimately, though, the Bengals should be much, much better than LA. Aaron Donald is still a beast, and if the offense is healthy by Week 3, they can put up some fight. After two hellish games against division rivals, the Rams should be a much easier opponent to deal with. Los Angeles RamsĪ rematch of Super Bowl LVI, this matchup has lost its luster due to the Rams’ futility last season. Bengals win, 1-1 Week 3 – Monday, September 25 vs. I can see this going either way, but I’ll give this game to Cincy. With Lamar Jackson back in the fold with some fancy new weapons, this could be a tough game for the Bengals. The Ravens are easily the primary challengers to Cincy’s hold of the AFC North. Baltimore RavensĪgain, the brunt of the difficulty of the Bengals’ schedule lies in their divisional matchups. Browns win, 0-1 Week 2 – Sunday, September 17 vs. With a new player joining the offensive line, there’s room for mistakes that Myles Garrett can capitalize on. It will all come down to how Cincy deals with the edge rushers of the Browns. Over the last three years, Joe Burrow has a 1-4 record against Cleveland, despite Cincy being better over the season. The Browns are a complete paradox for Bengals fans. Week 1 – Sunday, September 10 at Cleveland Browns Let’s try and go week-by-week and see how the Bengals could do this season based on their schedule. Cincy was handed a relatively easy schedule, even if you include the tough divisional games. We’re (almost) back, baby! The Cincinnati Bengals’ NFL schedule has been released (along with other teams’ schedules!), and it’s looking pretty good for them. ![]()
