CINCINNATI — Sports Illustrated's Gilberto Manzano is rolling with Over 10.5 wins for the Bengals this coming season. He expects Zac Taylor and the Bengals to bounce back and win at least 11 games.

"A healthy Joe Burrow might be all this team needs to clear 10 wins this season," Manzano wrote. "But Burrow staying healthy is no longer a safe bet because he has dealt with injuries the past three summers, leading to slow starts for Cincinnati. Also, the contract dilemmas of Tee Higgins and Trey Hendrickson could hinder team chemistry on the field. And it definitely doesn't help that the Bengals have to deal with the teams in the AFC North. But with a healthy Burrow for an entire season, they might be the one team capable of dethroning the Chiefs."

Cincinnati had a double-digit projected win total last season and narrowly missed out on the over after a brutal injury stretch for Burrow and an even harder 2023 schedule.

11-plus wins should put them right in the mix to win a third AFC North title in the past four seasons.
