1. Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals could surprise fans in 2020 with new QB Joe Burrow.

The Cincinnati Bengals’ horrific showing last season proved to benefit them in a colossal way as they were awarded with the No. 1 overall pick in April. As we know, they predictably pounced on LSU quarterback Joe Burrow, who broke numerous records under center for the Tigers in 2019.

There’s no telling how Burrow’s game will translate to the NFL as he only had one great season in college, but you have to think he will help Cincinnati become a respectable franchise again before long, especially with weapons Joe Mixon, AJ Green, Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins by his side.

Cincy made some quiet additions in the secondary via free agency with Trae Waynes and Vonn Bell, which won’t make life any easier for Philip Rivers.

That obviously won’t happen right away as the Bengals’ roster still needs improvement on defense and along the offensive line. However, we could easily see them pull off a few upsets this season, so Indianapolis should seriously treat this Week 6 matchup, which just so happens to follow their trap game against Cleveland, as a must-win.
