bengals playoff scenarios

good site u have here--im new to seeing it.

I think the most important game now for the bengals is that @denver game which could decide their playoff fate. If they win it, they'd own tiebreakers over KC and Den, their likely wildcard competitors.

I think they will beat baltimore, oakland, lose @indy, win @den, and beat pitt. Doing that will guarantee a playoff berth imo. It's possible they can afford to lose 1 game, perhaps this game against baltimore and still get the 6th playoff spot at 9-7

Thanks for the props. I think there's some concern about the Jets. While I'm not convinced they're a team that could beat the better teams, they have what has to be the softest remaining schedule in the league.
