BENGALS 2019 SCHEDULE PROJECTIONS

@ Seattle (0-1)
vs 49ers - They might be able to get the W here, ultimately depends on what 49ers team we see at the start of the season, plus home opener. If Green isn’t back, this could be a tough one but we’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and their first W (1-1)
@ Buffalo - Tough stadium to play at and Bills have chance to be pretty decent. Bengals beat 1 AFC East team, not today though (1-2)
@ Pittsburgh - Primetime Andy Dalton is 6-20 in primetime (1-3)
vs Cardinals - I’ll give them this one (2-3)
@ Baltimore - Yeah right (2-4)
vs Jacksonville - Nope (2-5)
@ LA Rams - Ha (2-6)
vs Baltimore - No (2-7)
BYE - They win this week
@ Oakland - Probably win number 3 here unless Oakland ends up going beast mode and AB gets his helmet (3-7)
vs Pittsburgh - Sorry, not sorry (3-8)
vs NYJ - Jets are legit this year, it hurts to say that as a Pats fan but look out (3-9)
@ Cleveland - I believe in the Browns (3-10)
vs Patriots - Upset of the year (4-10)
@ Miami - Only 2 more losses to go (4-11)
vs Cleveland - And we’re done (4-12)

A.J. Green is a talented guy, no doubt, but injuries have plagued him. Dalton does not have a good time without Mr. Green. Dalton averages a 80 passer rating and the team sits at 6-10-1 without Green. Although the addition to Boyd has been nice, he also takes a hit without Green. The timetable is still unclear but we do know he’s gone for at least the start of the season or even further. If this gets set back any further, there's a good chance the 2 wins I project in the first 5 weeks may not happen.

CINCINNATI BENGALS WIN TOTAL

Projecting a 4-12 finish with the potential to go 2-14. Under 5.5 wins @ 2.1 is a lock

BROWNS vs. BENGALS REGULAR SEASON WINS

We’ll dive into the Browns projections on a later date but this is as +EV as it can get. Take the Browns to have 4 more wins than the Bengals by the end of the regular season.
