What To Do About NATE’S 2008 CINCINNATI BENGALS REGULAR SEASON PREDICTIONS
By: Nathan Mallon | 25. Jun 2008
Those that really know me know that my favorite sports team is the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals. I have been a died hard Bengals fan since I was 8 years old, through the good times and the tough times (man there have been a lot). I thought I would make my regular season predictions in terms of wins and losses for the upcoming 2008 season. At this point, keep in mind it is late June as I type this and so I may adjust my predictions come August as things could change that would alter my feelings about the upcoming season between then and now.
Anyway, here are my predictions:
9/07 WEEK 1 at Baltimore – WIN
9/14 WEEK 2 TENNESEE – WIN
9/21 WEEK 3 at New York Giants – LOSS
9/28 WEEK 4 CLEVELAND – WIN
10/05 WEEK 5 at Dallas – LOSS
10/12 WEEK 6 at New York Jets – WIN
10/19 WEEK 7 PITTSBURGH – WIN
10/26 WEEK 8 Bye Week
11/02 WEEK 9 JACKSONVILLE – LOSS
11/09 WEEK 10 at Houston – LOSS
11/16 WEEK 11 PHILADELPHIA – WIN
11/20 WEEK 12 at Pittsburgh – LOSS
11/30 WEEK 13 BALTIMORE – WIN
12/07 WEEK 14 at Indianapolis – LOSS
12/14 WEEK 15 WASHINGTON – WIN
12/21 WEEK 16 at Cleveland – LOSS
12/28 WEEK 17 KANSAS CITY – WIN
*cities in all caps are home games.
There you go, I predict the Bengals finish the 08’ season with a 9-7 record. Will that be enough to get them into the playoffs though? I am not sure that it will at this point since the AFC is a much tougher conference than the NFC with teams like New England, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, San Diego, Cleveland and Pittsburgh who all finished 2007 with 10+ wins. I will try to give my 08’ predictions and pre-season thoughts again before the season starts!

i agree with you up to the bye week, although i think we can steal the giants game. the giants weren't exactly dominateing the league or anything last year. but 5-2 going into the break sounds about right. but then you have us lossing to houston!?!?! no way man. and i think the philly game is going to be tough, but i think we sweep cle instead of splitting with them like you have. and i just want to say that my upset special this year is going to be us over jax. i know it's a long shot, but it's after the bye and at home. two things that play into our favor. overall i see us at 10-6 which will probably be enough to win the division. i don't think we'll make it to the super bowl, but if we don't have to play n.e. or indy early in the playoffs, we might get to the confrence championship.
I think they have a chance against against the Giants and Texans I just think they are going to drop a few close ones in those games, I hope not though. Thanks for the comments, WHO DEY!

[...] that the Cincinnati Bengals would finish 2008 with a record of 9-7. Part of the problem with making this prediction was that I made it in the month of June. Yeah I think that was a tad early considering how last [...]
