Titans open up as 3 point favorites at home... Bengals will need to keep Chris Johnson to his slow start & with the NFL's #2 Run Defense I hope they can. We get Cedric Back for this week & Tennessee is 27th in Run Defense... Hoping for a 5th straight win

Dont see the hype of Tenn being good because they aren't. Bengals should roll by 10+

The last 2 good defenses the Titans faced, they got manhandled. The Bengals need to play like they did against Seattle. Establish the run, get up early and pressure the Titans. Like Seattle, Tennessee isn't going to light you up throwing nor are they going to do much with a big deficit. Seattle has a lot more offensive weapons than Tennessee but have no identity. Wouldn't be surprised to see Tennessee try to run, run and run some more and make the Bengals stop it. Be nice to get Maualuga back for the game.

I'd be surprised if the Titans rushed for more than 80 yards in this one. Unless Chris Johnson magically returns to form the Bengals should absolutely have their way with the Titans run game. Nate Washington is good but if the Bengals defense shows up to play they should hold Tennessee to 17 or less with ease.

Bengals have owned the LOS the whole season, keep the rushing number low and Tenn is beatable. I love watching this D play, they fly to the ball and they get there with attitude.

Hope to get Maualuga back this week & a combination of Tate & Pacman returning kicks could end up working in their favor as well

This one worries me because tenn d is pretty damn good. We need AJ Green and Benson to make some plays this week to win. First team to 14 wins.

Doubt he comes back this week. They are probably going to save him and see if he can go against the steelers.

Not sure if it's a TD but I think the Bengals come back to Earth this week with a loss.

Just a side note that has nothing to do w/ this weeks game... But next Sunday's game vs. Pittsburgh is officially a sellout

Donald Lee was decent last week against Seattle. Bengals go 65% on the ground in this one anyway as the Titans can't stop the run. Benson is gonna go for a buck 25. Only question is whether the D can continue to roll.

I dont see the D having much of a problem. Unless CJ remembers that football season has already started that is.

Dalton flustered early just like last week.

Reggie Nelson can't tackle, now CJ is going off. I think it's about time Nelson sees more time on the bench.

Offense needs to respond.... Can't have a 3 & Out... that chop block saved us that drive
