Summary:
These teams are very evenly matched heading into their week one match-up. Both teams have excellent defenses and quarterbacks eager to prove they aren’t one year wonders. The Bengals have weapons aplenty on offense even without pro-bowl tight end Tyler Eifert. The addition of running back Matt Forte should add a new element to the Jets offense though he may be on the downside of his career. The Bengals on paper have more talent on both sides of the ball and should pull out a close one on the road.
