Bengals/Cards prediction thread

[cincygrad]

I'm calling the upset. Bengals 27, Cards 24.

 

[Cincyfan78]

I've had this down as a loss for awhile now. Sticking with it. 34-24.

 

[alf8478]

31-16 cards

 

[cincygrad]

I think the Cardinals will be flat and I think the Bengals will be motivated. We'll see.

This was a what I felt was a loss from the very beginning of the season with it being in Arizona. However, it will be warm, and nice, and Dalton likes that type of weather being from Houston area. I still think we make it two losses in a row.

Cardinals 27 - Bengals 23

Just read that Adam Jones and Michael Johnson are doubtful..... I'll keep my prediction, but I'm no longer happy with it. Adam Jones has been one of our most valuable players and by far the best corner on the team. And no matter what you think of Michael Johnson, he's kept Margus Hunt's lousy ass off the field and Gilberry isn't an every-down player. Tough week to play without these guys.

Michael Johnson is over rated. Pacman won't miss this. we're going to play hard. but the game is way over on the west coast and primetime which may mess us up a bit. I'd say we're about even with Arizona, only they have experience on their side with Palmer. I'm just going to be a fan and say I hope we win, but I don't think it's a high probability and if Arizona wins, I don't want to gloat.

so...

Bengals 21-20

Pacman is listed as doubtful which means he's not going to play barring a miracle, I don't think Micheal Floyd plays either so that's almost a wash. John Brown is a slowed down with a hamstring as well. I'm not as worried about the Jones injury as I'd be if their WR corps was at full strength..

I think the Bengals win a close one but even if they lose it's a non-conference game against a good team so it won't be the end of the world

 

[cincygrad]

I don't think Johnson is overrated. He plays a ton of snaps and there is a drop off when Gilberry has to play a lot or Hunt has to play at all. It will hurt.

The Floyd injury does make the Jones injury a little more tolerable.

I think the Cards may come out a little flat after the emotional win at Seattle last week. I am feeling a bit of a let down may happen Sunday night. I'd give the edge to the Bengals in this one. Either way, let's have a good game with no more injuries.

Good luck.

Honestly who have the Cardnal's beat? Pittsburgh without Ben beat them? Only win that looks impressive is the Chicago win. The rest are meh...Hopefully they are setup for a let down game after beating Seattle.

They're 20-4 in their last 24 games with Palmer at QB with 2 wins at Seattle. They're a legitimately good team. The talent level is similar to the Bengals

Bengals lose BIG. Cardinals by 21

 

[alf8478]

I took Palmer, Fitz Cards D and Gresham in a draftkings league to assure either a victory for me, or for the Bengals.

 

[Skinnyfats]

I still think Palmer is going to choke. The ghosts of the AFCN still haunt him it's a monkey on his back. My luck the Bengals are going to choke and leave egg and feces on my face. But if there is the hope of the old Palmer choking it will be this game.

Cardinals are due just like the Bengals were due.

 

[ckhokie]

No Pacman, no W.

 

[kramer1]

Tate is gonna fumble a return. I feel it in my bones.

I think you called it..... He's due.

Which quarter will AJ green have a fumble?
