Week 15: vs. Cincinnati Bengals

What is a trap game and why is it against the Cincinnati Bengals?

Joe Burrow looked phenomenal last year before tearing his ACL. Burrow is also reunited with a former collegiate teammate in wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase.

With a victory here, the Denver Broncos would most likely be in the driver’s seat for the top wild-card spot in the AFC. Being 9-5 with three remaining games gives you about a 67 percent chance of reaching 10 wins, which would all but guarantee a spot in a seven-seed playoff bracket.

Unfortunately, I do not think the Broncos win this game.

Bengals key 2021 additions

  • WR Ja’Marr Chase
  • OT Riley Reiff
  • OL Jackson Carman
  • DE Trey Hendrickson
  • DL Larry Ogunjobi
  • CB Chidobe Awuzie

Prediction: Loss (8-6)
