Joe will get Ws against Jacksonville, Chicago, Houston. Lose to Jets who will get a scripted win for Aaron Rodgers return story.

Then we follow up with a 5 game win streak after the jets to end the season

And Jake Browning is the perfect QB for the bengals draft pick. If it’s not wide open dude will just stand there until they sack him.

Cincinnati is giving Jacksonville - the Browns opponent this coming Sunday - a helluva fight.

Up 21-14, but Jax is driving.

Dutch Oven

So the Penn State WR that I liked - Parker Washington - has finally got some playing time in his rookie season tonight and caught his first NFL touchdown pass.

Damn, he fell all the way to the 6th round? He torched Ohio State in 2022.

bbedward

Every week makes no sense in the NFL, bengals showed up to play.

Jags defense looks very pedestrian though, flacco can cook them.

mjp28

I kind of like this game. NO BET but i kind of liked Cincinnati +10. How can you not take +10 in pro football on MNF ???

bbedward

Trevor Lawrence is down with what looks potentially serious, hate to see it because (1) don’t wanna see anyone get hurt and (2) would prefer the browns beat them with no asterisks attached.

mjp28

A game like CIN +10 and (5-6) at JAX (8-3) how do you size it up ..... honestly. Especially on MNF known for the underDOGS and way-OVER games.

I've had some classic BLOWOUT games on MNF ..... I even turned 21 on MNF ! Ruined me for life, lol.

Dutch Oven

And Trevor Lawrence has been knocked out of the game.

bbedward

The bengals going into prevent defense with a 2 minute drill and backup letting them easily drive down the field. Didn’t know joe woods got a job in Cincinnati

Also Zac Taylor called a timeout for the jaguars? wtf was that

*********************

bb, I'll take 'em any we can get them.... Shit, I wuz hope-in' for a tie.

Regarding Mr. Lawrence.... I'll put on my Dr. Hoorta cap fer a second, and give you my educated guess. He won't be playing against the Browns Sunday- an away game on a short week. From personal experience, around 20 years ago, I hyperextended my foot exactly the same way as Trevor. It tore ligaments, and I was in a soft cast for a couple weeks. That's not even counting the ancillary damage of having his OT fall on his leg funny, might be a high ankle sprain on top of it.

EDIT: officially listed as a "sprain" MRI Tuesday.

Somewhat overlooked is that the Jags' other deep threat (Kirk) went out in the first catch of the game with a groin pull. I'm betting he is also not playing in Cleveland in a short week. Jags should not be favored in this game. Currently it's Browns -1.5.

If they lose to a jags team without their QB and Christian Kirk, at home, then that would be truly sad.

The Jags are about the same level of team the Brownies are. It would be sad, but let's not pretend they're worlds below us.

That said, with Lawrence and potentially Kirk out, it would be a huge win. To the point I'd consider sitting Denzel and Myles vs Chicago and Houston for the last push against NYJ and Cincy.

There's nothing to gain from playing the Bears, IMHO.

I mean, they are a good team - but losing at home when they are missing their firepower would be quite sad still.

I agree on da bears who are playing for draft position, but not the Texans - they are breathing down our necks in the playoff seeding, that may end up being one we need to go all out in depending on how the next 2 weeks go.

~ Ok, who had Cincinnati (+10) and the over (40) ? I think that was a pretty much a SAFE slam dunk bet !

Not exactly.

They have their first round pick, which is dependent on how the Bears finish.

But they also have the Carolina Panthers first round pick... which as of today would give the Bears the #1 overall pick.
