Denver Broncos at Cincinnati Bengals

Speaking of the Bengals, they have enough problems getting into the playoffs, forget the third seed.

With the Steelers and Ravens hot on their heels, the Bengals don’t want to lose because it’s possible if they lose the next two weeks the Bills, Chargers or Chiefs get in over them.

Of course, for the Broncos, they want to make sure they have at least a shot at the home field advantage. If the Jets surprise the Patriots (stop laughing) and then lose to the Bills, the Broncos have a shot at the first seed.

If this were in Colorado, it’d be hard to give the game to Cincinnati, but at home they have a shot. Of course, last week Andy Dalton looked horrible and he won’t be facing a slapstick Cleveland defense this week.
