Bengals are playing much better now late in the year although some injuries are becoming concerning. I believe the Bengals can play with and beat anybody (Bills this week), but also can expect them to be flat and choke one away as well. If they are "on" this week, I could see them defeating the Bills. They have to be "on" though.
I hear you with teams you'd rather not see in the playoffs. NFL is predicated greatly on matchups,, and the matchup I don't like for Cincy seeing in the playoffs is the Ravens. Division for with a tough defense that always brings it against Cincy. I'd rather avoid them if at all possible.
Division matchups in the playoffs suck. Never know how those games may go and you already have seen that matchup more times than you can count. Ravens would get bounced bad by Chiefs/Bills but I guarantee they'd give Cincy a real worry.

Division matchups are the worst which is why you will find very few on here eager to face the Chargers in the playoffs despite beating them twice in the regular season. I would still rather face them than the Bengals, not because I feel they are better or more talented or even better coached than KC. They currently matchup poorly against the Chiefs and I would have to think that being 0-3 in two years takes a mental toll as well.
