Cincinnati at Denver Game Preview
Why Cincinnati Will Win
Seriously, Cincinnati. What’s up?
The team looked so good in dominant performances in wins over Las Vegas and Pittsburgh, and then it didn’t show up against the Chargers and woke up too late against San Francisco.
When it’s on, though, it’s got the ability to strike quickly with one of the best passing games in the NFL – again, when it’s working.
It’s the other side, though, that should pull this off.
Denver has to run to win. It’s been great at pouring away over the last several weeks, but the Bengals are outstanding at holding up against the run – no one has pushed past 100 yards in a month. Teddy Bridgewater can throw a bit, but if there’s no ground attack, there’s a problem.

What’s Going To Happen
Both teams are weird.
Cincinnati has all the parts, but it can’t seem to put them all together on a consistent basis.
Denver has some of the parts, and when they’re not working they’re really not working, at least offensively.
The Broncos, though, have been terrific at home since the strange loss to Philadelphia. They’re going to clamp down on the Bengal running game, but they won’t be able to handle the passing attack that will be good from the start.
Cincinnati will come out of the gate strong, and it’ll carry over into the second half.
