Skip Bayless calls his bold shot about Bengals' playoff fate

Momentum around the Cincinnati Bengals has started to grow on a national level.

The Bengals got some playoff help on Sunday when the AFC North opened the door a little wider for them to steal it. Paired with Joe Burrow’s return to take down the Baltimore Ravens, and suddenly, the national scene has started to pay attention.

Few are bigger on the national scene than Skip Bayless, too.

Bayless called his shot on Sunday night, declaring the Bengals are on the way to an AFC North title.

Bayless’ comment:

The Bengals likely need to win out to make Bayless correct. That means beating Buffalo next week, then Baltimore again, before closing the season against Miami, Arizona and Cleveland.

Along the way, the Bengals would likely need the Ravens and Steelers to lose two more each.

It’s not impossible, but the national side of things already making noise about this is interesting. All Joe Burrow and the Bengals can do is take it one week at a time.
