Bengals completely overlooked, underrated

[BreesIsOverrated]

No one is talking about them, but they could easily represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. They own the tie-breaker against New England so if they both finish 12-4 or 11-5 Cincy would get the 2 seed and host at least 1 playoff game (they are 6-0 at home). Peyton Manning could have another postseason meltdown and thus the Bengals would host the AFC CG. Am I the only one thinking this?

People are selling them short because of their road woes, and because they lost Geno Atkins.

They are unlikely to win a road playoff game, so everything would have to fall perfectly for them, including getting the two seed and the Broncos losing in the divisional round.

As someone who has watched a couple of their games, I'm going to have to disagree to a certain extent. They still manage to be the Bungles in half of their games, despite winning half of those. We'll see how far they go in the playoffs, but right now, I'm not predicting them to make the Super Bowl.
