Greetings, Bengals fans!

GameDEY is almost here, as the Bengals’ 2026 debut comes Sunday against a dangerous Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that’s favored to win the NFC South.

With the opener arriving, we wanted to get your predictions for what the final regular-season record will be.

Will the Bengals have a breakthrough that sees them win 13+ games and contend for the AFC’s No. 1 seed? Do they manage to squeak into the playoffs with more along the lines of 10-to-11 wins?

Or, Heaven forbid, do you think the postseason drought continues and we see the Bengals miss the playoffs for a fourth-straight season after winning nine or fewer games?

Sound off in the poll below and down in the comments section!
