With no confidence (an 0-5 record will do that to you) the Bengals are just looking to win a game. They came close against the Giants and Cowboys (2 good teams), but found a way to lose.
The defense is terrible and Brett Favre will have another huge day to pad those stats.
But the blow that nailed the final nail into the coffin is an elbow injury to stud QB Carson Palmer. The guy makes that offense run smoothly and without him this is the surest bet of any Jets game this season.
Yes, even more so than the Rams because the Bengals have no running game to take advantage of the Jets mediocre D-line.
One note, the Jets need to let Calvin Pace and company blitz. This Fitzpatrick character is not good and will get very rattled if the Jet blitz gets to him. Look for a lot of picks and at least 4 sacks this weekend from the Jets.
Prediction: Jets 38 Bengals 13
Note: The injury to Brian Westbrook really hurts the already reeling Eagles in a awfully hard division. They are a good team, but will likely finish fourth in the NFC East.

This is the classic type of games the Jets always lose. Hopefully with Brett 6TD Favre, their fortunes will turn.
