Saturday, January 9:
Cincinnati Bengals
These teams met last Sunday night in the Meadowlands in a game that was largely meaningless for the Bengals. The Jets, needing a win to clinch a postseason berth, jumped on Cincy early and ended up cruising to 37-0 victory. As much as we like the Jets defense, we find it very difficult to back a rookie QB on the road in his first postseason game, especially a rookie QB going against a defense as underrated as Cincinnati's. It's taken QB Carson Palmer and the Bengals 4 years to get back to the playoffs following Palmer's knee injury during a wild card loss to the Steelers. We expect Palmer to make enough plays to get the win today in what should be a close game.
This is our last favorite of the 4 Wild Card plays we will be releasing this weekend.
Bengals 23 Jets 16
