This is the #1 seed and Super Bowl champion year. I can feel it in my bones.

12-5 seems legit. I just want them to own the division and win 5/6.

Ceiling 13 and 4 floor 11 and 6. 12 and 5 expectation

If Burrow is healthy for the whole season, we'll be 11-6 at minimum

As a bengals fan from NC, I’m really looking forward to the game here. Went to my first NFL game week 2 vs the ravens last year, and hoping to make it to a second (and hopefully my first win) this year in Charlotte!

Ideally 14-3 but realistically I can honestly see 13-4 #1 seed in AFC

Gonna say 11-6...avoiding injuries will be key as with every season. 🏈

I don’t see them losing to the Eagles at home.

11-6. No way we sweep the Ravens.

Looks accurate. The only problem is, it looks like we only lose to the tough teams and that something negative

Franchise record 13 win season!

We aren’t sweeping Baltimore. My guess is we lose that TNF game in Baltimore but beat the Eagles

I’d give my wrist and ACL to Burrow for a Super Bowl

We can beat the eagles

Love the prediction, James. Think this schedule lines up for 11-12 wins barring health, but I can’t see them sweeping the Ravens. Hopefully I’m wrong, but this division is just too good to have that happen.

Good job James. I believe you hit the nail right on the head.

We beating the chiefs , we will win the Division, we will be the #1 seed and we will be resting bye week 16🤷🏽‍♀️I’m claiming it now🐅🐅🐅

We can def beat Cowboys especially after the last time they stole one from us. I don’t see us sweeping Ravens tho think we go 1-1 with Ravens & Browns then possibly losing at chargers or another random but I think 13-4 this year finally. 1️⃣

they will go 13-4 or 14-3 the 3 losses will be in week 7, week 10, and week 14. maybe in week 18 depending on if the bengals are resting their players. the eagles are a very good team, but I don't see the bengals losing that game. the bengals dominate NFC opponents.

I’d really want them to go at least 3-1 against NFC East. Just cuz I think it’s good experience to beat a competitive opposite conference team in the regular season. Cuz a competitive NFC team is who would play in a Super Bowl

13-4 even with Jake at the helm my opinion we are about to see a juggernaut they just look and feel different this upcoming year them boys ain’t playing watch

#1 seed

13-4

I don’t feel like we’re gonna split with Cleveland this year. We’re sweeping that series. Taylor and Burrow are so pissed off over how badly we performed against that team since 2020 that they’re both highly motivated to go out and win both those games in dominating fashion. We’ll split with Baltimore and Pittsburgh instead. And I believe we’ll go 11-6 in 2024, not 12-5. We always seem to have 2 weird “We really should’ve won those games” losses like Houston last year, or Cleveland in 2022 or the Jets in 2021. Chargers might be one of those kind of games. 5/17/24 | 9:40 a.m. | EDT

Certainly got us thinking!

14-3 we lose to the afc north once

13 and 4 for the Bengals.

Realistically 11-12 wins. But id like to new franchise win record.

I don’t see them losing that game to the Eagles

yo, love the content. I listen to all your stuff, here and on locked on Bengals. I've got to say though..... Cyclops over Wolverine? smh....

I like it!! We will be there for all of them again. See you soon.

Love the new intro 🔥

Hey are you going to be making any highlight videos for offseason workouts like you did last year? Those videos were 🔥

Did we not lose to Houston who had a rookie QV and a rookie head coach. I think it's very presumptuous that we assume. We're just gonna beat the patriots period. I'm not predicting any game record at this point. Until we see, otherwise that in the office coordinators, we have their shit together. And we don't get off to a slow start and blame a bunch of BS For the slow start... And don't blame the Tyler boy.D drop for the reason why we lost the game

Not going to lie, I am worried about his wrist being 100 percent... That being said, if it's same old healthy burrow and he stays that way, the sky's the limit.

Just WIN BABY

Plus Burrow is amazing in December football

What about that stat where a new coach has never lost his first game. Are we gonna lose?

12-5 isn't bad, but I would like to see 13-4 or 14-3.

11 and 6 is my prediction

It isn't that crazy to think we go undefeated to the bye. It won't happen if our defense isn't up to snuff but it is definitely possible.

I was thinking 13-4

Franchise best 13 wins. Who Dey!

12-5 but think we beat eagles at home and lose to chargers going into bye week. Can almost count on having a few key players banged up after the ravens game.

switch 1 Ravens outcome. 11-6

Bengals go 5-1 in division and 15-2 and the 1 seed. At most they will go 14-3 and get the 1 seed. This schedule is monumentally easier than what we have had the last 2 years. 2021 we go to the Super Bowl. In 2022 naturally we got a hard schedule the 3rd hardest in the league that year and we almost got back to the Super Bowl. On that gauntlet schedule. The last 7 games on that schedule was the hardest in the NFL. Last year we go 9-8 without Burroe for half the year with a very very young secondary on the hardest schedule that ANY team has seen since the year 2000! We played 11 playoff teams and 14 teams that finished 9-8 or better last year! And we almost made the playoffs! The Bengals not only have the 2nd best QB in football but we have THE BEST QB ROOM in football! Burrow and Brownjng are the best pair of QBs in the nfl hands down full stop. Jake Browning would be an upgrade on like 7-9 teams in the NFL. If Brownjg was the QB for the Giants the Giants would be really good for instance. I think we need to convince the giants of that and trade Jake for a 2nd round pick. Turning an UDFA into a HIGH second round pick would be some great mangering. Yea would hate to lose him but I’m sure he want a chance to start. Not gonna get that here.

We will change it this year. We will be at the brown , chiefs and eagles. Just remember this comment as long as Burrows healthy. We lose 3 to 4 games max this year. These prediction videos always make me feel annoyed. I think our Bengals can beat every team in the NFL plain and simple but it's a long year and usually most teams drop a few games.

13-4 If Burrow's career continues to mirror Dan Marino's (SB loss in 2nd year, CCG loss in 3rd year, win-as-many-as-you-lose and no playoffs in 4th year), then we're gonna finish 9-8 and miss the playoffs again. Marino was healthy, but had no defense. If Joe can get to Week 1 healthy, we can beat anyone, anywhere...provided the defense stops giving up the most yards per play in the NFL again. If we missed on Jenkins & McKinley, we'll struggle to get to 9-8. But I'm optimistic that we didn't.

10-7, 11-6, wild card spot. Playoff run. Feels more realistic and more Bengalish. I also temper my expectations because it's easier to not be as disappointed if something disastrous happens, and makes it much more enjoyable when expectations are exceeded.

I have 2L’s week seven and week 18 that’s it

Look... the one thing I do know is that outside of the division the Bengals hardly lose big games when Burrow is playing. The Bengals would most likely lose to the Giants before they would lose to the Chiefs or Eagles. James Rapien will always pick the more popular team to beat the Bengals. Like in 2022 when he picked the Bengals to lose to the Chiefs, Titans, Bucs, and I believe the Patriots or the Bills. The Bengals will go 14-3 losing only to the Ravens on the road, Browns on the road, and Dallas on the road because the Bengals never win in Dallas. Book it.

If Burrow has a fully healthy offseason we’re gonna be 13-4 at worst

Close to mine, I think, will split with the raven and win against either eagles or cowboys

I love my bengals but sweeping the ravens is a stretch especially with the second game being a short week in Baltimore

13-4 is their record and number 1 seed

I disagree with you James, they will win the Chiefs game! Joe Burrow will reminds us why they call Arrowhead “Burrowhead”!😅

I think this is very realistic. Who Dey

10-7 is the floor

12-5 sounds about right, but if the #1 AFC seed is on the line, I don't think they'll rest their starters n the last game and go beat the Steelers to get to 13-4.

Only Thing I got is just win games and get to Super Bowl and win it all this year I been a Bengals fan since 1976 and been to 3 Super Bowls already (1982,1989,and 2022) we have had it right on the finger tips and end up come short in 4th quarter with little time on clock left we never been blown out of 3 Super Bowls we been in which show we can win the big one day look at score from the 3 1-24-1982 21-26 (49ers) 1-22-1989 16-20 (49ers) 2-13-2022 20-23 (Rams) The one with Rams games we had that game won all the way until down the strectch when Refs starting cheating at the end making bad calls rewatch game Bengals Fans can see it plain as day my theory behind it was be rigged at end because the Refs and owners of Rams didn't want be Defeated at there home stadium and in front there home fans and there hometown that my theory of the 2022 Super Bowl at end of the game just to many silly bad calls by the Refs and they help the Rams win the game at end of night.

I also have the Bengals going 12-5.

Eagles lost kelce and swapped RB which carried them at times

Only games I'll have us losing are the away game and the eagles game. We are changing the narrative on cowboys by finally beating them, we sweeping the ravens and Steelers and Burrow winning MVP.

If burrow stays healthy 12-5

For the most part I agree realistically the floor should be no worse than 9-7.

14/3 WHO DEY! Let’s Go!

I agree with 12-5.

15-2 m

I don’t think we’ll lose to the chiefs.

13-4 clinch home field

Joe Burrow sweeping the ravens is unbelievable.

I don't get the point of schedule win loss predictions. So many variables between now and just week one let alone week ten and beyond. Just seems silly.

Jake Browning Starts and beats the Broncos

14 wins 3 losses

10-1 going into the bye

If Burrow is healthy the Bengals will not be that bad....14-3

12

2-4 in division

12-5 as well trap game lost will be to commanders

6-0 start , drop 2 in a row before beating the raiders. Lose the next two going into the bye then win out all the way through the regular season and playoffs

If Joe burrow stays healthy, i see them going 12-5, if he is not they going 9-8 again and Zac Taylor better get fire 🔥 if they do

The problem I have with this James is you have us winning the same amount of games as we win in 2022. We would have won 13 that year had the Bills game not been canceled. So on the third hardest schedule in the nfl and the hardest last 7 games In the nfl we won 12 probably 13 games. Fast forward to this year. We have the 17th hardest schedule in the NFL burrow is coming back from injury, remember the year back from injury last time Super Bowl, and you have us winning 12 games again. So do you think this team is a worse team than the 2022 team? I do not. Remember we lost Awuzie in game 8 of 2022. We went to the AFC championship with CTB and Eli Apple playing outside CB. I think this team right now is WAYYY better than the mid season 2022 team was. Like orders of magnitude better. I’ll admit some of it is projection but I you and everyone else knows that Jermaine Burton is going to tear the NFL up this year. Higgins is playing in a contract year so he has every reason to have a career year. Ossai and Cam Sample are playing in a contract year and that means something. I’m predicting a Bryce Huff type of season out of Ossai. 9-10 sacks kind of season. Myles Murphy has dropped body fat and put on muscle and he is ready to go off not to mention Charlie Jones and Iosivas are hungry and have something to prove. I think we are going to take the NFL by storm this year! I can feel it. The last time I felt like this was September 2021 and we know what happened that year. So I’m predicting 15-2 or 14-3. If we are 13-4 I can live with that. I believe any one of those gives us the number 1 seed. I think Chase has close to 20 tds this year. Higgins finally reaches 10. Geisiki has 600 yards and 6 tds. I think Chase Brown is set to go off too. I don’t think people realize how good that kid was at Illinois. That’s Big 10 and he had 1600 rushing yards in 13 games. That’s good. I am more optimistic that I have ever been about this team. Even more optimistic than I was in 2021. If I had followed my gut then I would be $20,000 richer. I never bet but I almost put $200 on the Bengals to win the AFC championship. That would have won me $20,000 with the odds at the beginning of the season.

Yall not sweeping the ravens smh lol

I think 13-4 James I say they whoop the cowboys that eagles game possibly could be a W Joe B is coming for his this year

14/3

I say best eagles lose away game to ravens and we beat Steelers 2 times

Think they will win when playing eagles and cowboys

9 -8.. Is more realistic....

Tee Higgins is not happy and that's not good for the team either

11-6

What have You been Smoking?, No Freaking Way!!!, probably 5 and 12

14-3

Not sweeping the ravens. If they lose one to the steelers thats bad.

Dude you are out your mind if you think the Eagles are going to beat us. I’ve got the Bengals going into Cleveland at 6-0 and losing to the Browns and then taking it out on the Eagles the next week. I have the Bengals at 15-2 this year. They lose 1 to the Browns and 1 to the Cowboys. That’s it.

They'll beat the Chiefs in week 2 and every Chiefs fan will let us know it doesn't matter cause it's the regular season and they have 3 rings under Pat.

We are beating kc week 2

It's hard to take you seriously with a Power Rangers mask in the background

Browns w

We’re not losing to the cowboys

I think we'll neat the eagles and chiefs but will lose to the titans
