Don't let a guy that thinks Jeb Putzier is a great TE hijack the thread
Last one then I'm off for bed. Maybe I'll finish the other 4 tomorrow:
3. Cincinnati
Cincy's weakness seems to be against the run, which really plays into our strengths. I think they're another team we would have no problem scoring on. Again it's all on the shoulders of the line.
As for slowing down their offense, that might be a different story. Chad Johnson and Housh have to be respected, which setups their pound the ball running attack. I don't think we would have much trouble stopping their running game, but the fact that we have to respect their big play potential, they will probably be able to move the ball and score.
The key here is to pound the ball, control the clock and not let this turn into a shootout. Not sure how the "who-dey" and home field would factor into this, but it would definitely be to our benefit to play them at home.
Playing them in Cincy, I'm gonna leave a pretty wide margin because I'm not sure how their home field would factor into the equation. I'd probably say somewhere between 2-4 wins out of 10.
Plying them at home I'm a little more confident, and think we could beat them 6 out of 10 games.

I'll go ahead and do one more because this one I'm not sure about
4. Jacksonville
I don't know what the chances of us actually playing them would be. I think they'll likely end up at new England, and even if they do win would probably be heading into indy the following week.
And I really haven't watched these guys all year, nor do I know much about their team. I know Leftwich is hurt, which might set them back a tad.
I'm also not sure if they actually are a solid team, or just the benefactor of a weak schedule. I really don't know enough about them to take a stab as to what the outcome would be if we played them 10 times at each place...
