Sunday December 6th 1:00PM on CBS

Early line is Bengals -14

Getting to 9-3 is critical before back to back road games @Minnesota & San Diego. Who Dey!

The Bengals will win. I'd be surprised at this point if they cover. The running attack is fun to watch, but the passing game is struggling again. No deep threat to stretch the defense.

I think the Bengals are a team that will compete with anyone, but probably won't blow anyone out, either.

I picture this game getting fairly ugly fairly early. By game's end, it could be one of the ugliest games ever. Either that, or the Lions will win an incredible upset victory over the shell-shocked Bengals. (Not a chance in you know where!)

If the Raiders and Bruce Gradkowski can beat the Bengals, than surely the Lions can right? ;)

If Stafford isn't 90%, I don't want to see him play again. He should not have started on Thanksgiving and gave them no chance to win. They will have to play a good game on the road but I don't think it will be a blowout, unless Stafford plays and is not healthy.

It's the NFL and on any given Sunday..........................like many have said, the running game is solid, but, Carson and the passing game are really, really struggling. Not to mention, where's the point production?? 18, 17, 16................thank god for Shayne Graham. I wouldn't be surprised to see another close one...............21-17.

Then two tough, tough road games where the Bengals have actually flourished, except for Oakland.

In any event, what a fun season. Win or lose, these Bengals have played hard.

Yep. Bailing out poorly run organizations is his thing.

Them 2 losses dont mean squat in the grand scheme of things. We will see what happens in the 3rd matchup.

If there IS a third matchup..... Pittsburgh has to jump two other teams... Cincy is in the drivers seat for the Division and right now in a spot for a 1st Round Bye ....... A LOT of ball left to play but i'm very optimistic for this team

When the 3rd meeting does occur, I am sure you will not be as optimistic as you are now.

The first round bye will be determined in two weeks when the Bengals play at San Diego. Winner of that game gets the bye. The loser will get a first round home game.
