With the 3-7-1 Bengals’ backs to the river and the 5-6 Eagles’ backs to the city, it’s a pretty straightforward script Sunday (1 p.m.-Cincinnati’s Channel 19) at Paul Brown Stadium
The winner moves to the next must game while the loser ends up watching the postseason with the Bengals.com Media Roundtable. The group gives the Bengals a split decision (2-1-1) over the Eagles.
It must be December. The beat guys are tired trying to figure out their guys and pick against them on principle. The Cincinnati Enquirer’s Paul Dehner Jr. goes against the Bengals because they are in a rut, where they are unable to score in the fourth quarter, and The Philadelphia Daily News’ Paul Domowitch goes against the Eagles because they can’t score at any time and they’re 1-5 on the road.
