GMFB holds Joe Burrow, Bengals out of playoffs in projections

Opinions vary greatly on whether the Cincinnati Bengals can make the playoffs in 2025.

It’s understandable, considering Joe Burrow put up an MVP-like season just one year ago and the Bengals missed the playoffs.

Fast forward to Week 1 right now, the Bengals haven’t named a starting right guard, to name one of a few concerning points around the team.

All three of the analysts there have the Baltimore Ravens taking the AFC North, with the Pittsburgh Steelers grabbing a spot in the Wild Card.

Burrow and the Bengals have long needed the on-field games to start in order to convince outsiders, though.

For now, at least, the Bengals end up looking like this in many projections:
