Bruce Arians: Don’t be shocked by a Buccaneers vs Bengals Super Bowl.

I think a vast majority of the NFL world would be shocked at a Bucs vs Bengals Super Bowl Bruce.
The 4-8 Bengals?
Ok Bruce its time to go back to bed now.
The Bengals will need help to even make the playoffs. They are basically out of the wildcard race and so they need to win their division in wich two team have a two game lead. The luckily for them one of Pittsburgh or Baltimore has to lose but its still a long shot in my opinion.
I will absolutely be shocked.
Maybe the Repus Bowl.
I’d love to see this, but this is what would need to happen right now.
Bucs beat Carolina at least once (twice is better), and Carolina loses to Seattle.
Bucs take NFC South.
Then….. The Bengals…
It’s possible, but not probable.
They need to win out the rest of their games, finishing 9-8, meaning they have to beat the Bills and the Ravens, then they get Dolphins, Cardinals and Browns. Of course, they could drop one, but it can’t be to the Ravens, and then the two teams ahead of them need to lose 3 games.
Steelers and Ravens have to lose a few. I think the Ravens need to drop 2 games, and the Steelers have to lose at least 2. These two teams still face each other twice, so best case for Bengals is Ravens take both, lose to the Bengals, then the Patriots and and/or Packers. Steelers then probably need to lose one more because they split with Bengals, but it may not be needed. They then with the AFC North. Mathematically, I don’t see a way they can make the Wild Card.
Then of course each team need to win through their Conferences and face off at the Super Bowl

Bruce is NOT cooking

I’ve picked Bucs v Bengals the last two seasons. Obviously I’m hopeful/delusional
