Bengals at Philly Thursday Night Predictions

[DiMilioZ]

Bengals - 31

Eagles - 24

I think Andy Dalton will have a 300+ yards game, and throw for three TDs.

I also think that Nick Foles is going to turn the ball over at least once. I actually like his skill set, but I don't want him to showcase that tomorrow...

[Utts]

Thursday Night in the spotlight can mean only one thing - Bengals lay an egg. I love me some Bengals, but they have a track record of losing games like this. I hope this is the game where they turn that trend around!

Eagles 24
Bengals 17

[ScottishBengal]

Well, I was not far off when I predicted a 13 point win for us in the Cowgirls game... If only 2 catches had been made (that should have easily been made!), then I would have been correct.
Anyway, I fully expect us to bounce back and correct those basic errors... I'm plumping for the Cats to claw this one into the bag by 20points... Say 37:17

Bengals defense is stumped by another rookie quarterback. Bryce Brown opens the flood gate. Eagles team playing spoilers flushes our playoff hopes down the drain.

So while on the one hand it is dumb to boycott the team for the exact reasons described - losing the team to another city is not going to bring a championship here - the whole "future is bright" is equally dumb. The team needs its feet held to the fire NOW and made to understand they need to deliver NOW, not in some future.

the problem is YOU live in an unrealistic world without perspective...you can't hold onto the past and think it needs to change NOW because of it...like someone already stated, dalton/green are in second year and are playing really well, but they can't do it on their own...how is carolina doing with newton, do you think their next few years looks as good as the bengals?

gain some realistic perspective guy...

Bengals 35
Eagles 13

WHO DEY

[Go Cards]

Somebody has got to pay for last weeks debacle. Just so happens that the Eagles are wandering aimlessly down the middle of our road. This equals Eagle road kill.

Bengals ..34
Philly .........6

I'm very surprised at the point spread in this game: Bengals by 3. No different than when Carolina was in Philly 2 weeks ago. What do the experts know that we don't? Aren't we any better or different than a Panthers team of 2 weeks ago? What if this was the Texans or Patriots instead of the Bengals? Would it have been lot more than 3? Like 6-7 points?

All this self-evaluation above, I do think the "experts" may be right here and this could be a close game. I can in fact see the Bengals bungling this game in prime time and making the Eagles season. But my prediction is that the Bengals and Andy FINALLY come from behind and win a game in the last minute. Maybe with a 46 yard field goal from Josh Brown - 30 to 27.

Gosh do we need a good come from behind win. We have certainly had our share our getting the lead and holding it UNTIL the 4th Quarter. This team needs to start winning the other way.

I will also take a good ole butt whipping but I think we need a gut check more.

This is, historically, one of the biggest problems with this team: Can't get up for a team you should beat. But if this team is going to take the next step, it needs to beat Philly soundly and take advantage of the extra rest and preparation for the game against pitt. That game will truly tell us where they are at as a team. Beat Philly first, and you at least have given yourself the chance. Beat pissburg, and you will have turned the corner, knocking out a division foe from the playoff race.

I am very optimistic that they will be very motivated to beat Philly soundly after last week and they knock off the Eagles, 31-17.

[Whacked]

Agreed AND he is going to be playing his heart out to be the starter next year while Vick is out and amidst all the QB controversy.

I predict the Bengals play DOWN to the competition AS USUAL and someone wins by 3.

Problem is Im not sure WHICH Bengal team and WHICH coaching staff shows up tonight :(

As with my preseason prediction, the Cincinnati Bengals lose against the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens.

This prediction is 25% correct!

[Norse Bengal]

I predict a 24-13 victory in a pretty forgettable game.

[whodey21]

They say the best time to play a bad team is after they've won, and the worst time to play a good team is after a loss.

I've got the Eagles pegged as a bad team this year, so tonight we'll find out which one we are. I'm still hopeful that we're good, so my prediction is Bengals 28, Eagles 17.

[thompson19osu]

27-9. That offense isn't going to do **** against the Bengals D.

Hmmm...failed to mention that you also predicted a loss to the Chargers, so you're already wrong. Good try though. You are 100% full of it I'll give you that percentage.

If it was the Patriots, it would be at least 13. Texans wouldn't be too far behind. The Patriots are an entirely different class than most teams, let alone the Bengals.

Fortunately, because the Steelers lost last week, this game really isn't all that important. Obviously wins are always good, but they can lose tonight and still control their own destiny.

You're right. It's very weird how it has shaped up. Even if they lose tonight and Pitt wins this weekend, we would still make the playoffs with 2 wins to finish the season.

Although, there is a scenario where this game matters. It goes like this:

Bengals win tonight. Steelers lose Sunday.
Bengals lose next Sunday
Bengals beat Bal and Pitt loses to the Browns.

I just played the game on 2013 Tecmo Bowl.

Bengals won a sloppy game, 17-14.

- Dalton threw for 196 yards and a TD
- AJ Green caught 4-185-1
- Law Firm went 10-34-1

- Nick Foles threw 3 picks
- Bryce Brown went 4-55-1

Obviously this is how it's going to go.
