So say the Bengals will win the AFCN in April all you want national media talking heads. Look what happened after the 13-3 2006 season when in 2007 everyone said the Ravens were going to take it all that season.
I've never really understood that notion at all. How does the media dictate how games will go by not picking us? Do you think players really ultimately care about that, does it really change how they play on a given Sunday? I mean sure, in the play offs, maybe all the public hate made the players angry, but at the end of the day, when two teams step on the field in play off atmosphere, the last thing on their minds is what Skip Bayless said about them on ESPN.

2007 was bad because of a mass amount of injuries, not because we were favored lol.
