2012 Cincinnati Bengals vs Philadelphia Eagles Game Prediction

This is a must win for the Cincinnati Bengals to keep their playoff hopes alive in Week 15’s Thursday Night Game. The Bengals lost a barn-burner last week at home against the Dallas Cowboys, losing 20-19. They can’t afford to lose another game like that.

Cincinnati Bengals:
The Bengals are a good team having a good year. I feel they are a better team then what their record shows, and I also feel many experts didn’t predict the Bengals to be as good as they are this year. They lost a very close and important game last week against the Cowboys, and they need to make sure they beat the Eagles this week to keep their Wild Card Playoff hopes alive.

Philadelphia Eagles:
Although the Eagles beat the Tampa Bay Bucs last week in Tampa Bay, 23-21, their team is pretty much in shambles. Michael Vick is out for the season and appears he may have played his last game in an Eagles uniform. They signed him to a big multi-year deal so if he leaves I imagine many more will be following him out the door, in particular several on the coaching staff. Philadelphia still has lots of talent on their football team, and I feel they still can beat most teams in the league even without Vick under helm.

Game Prediction:
Although the Bengals and Eagles aren’t the two hottest teams in the NFL, I do feel this Thursday Night Football game will be a close and exciting game to watch. This game really could go in all three directions; the Bengals could blow out the Eagles, the Eagles could blow out the Bengals, or either team could win with a last minute field goal. This is all many due to the unpredictability of Philadelphia. However, I feel Cincinnati has too much on the line in this game and I see them being very focused and ready to take care of business. With that being said, I predict the Bengals to win, beat the point spread and I take the under.
