## Resource

The Cincinnati Bengals are gearing up for a promising season, despite some early challenges. Theyve made significant offseason moves, including trading for Dexter Lawrence and being favored in fifteen out of seventeen games. However, Gary Davenport from Bleacher Report predicts a mild start due to tough early matchups against playoff teams and divisional rivals. The Bengals first four games include home games against Tampa Bay and Jacksonville, and road trips to Houston and Pittsburgh. If the new additions gel and the team performs at its best, the Bengals could defy expectations and exceed the hype. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
