Week Thirteen: Philadelphia Eagles @ Cincinnati Bengals

Sunday, December 4, 1:00 (FOX)

History: Bengals lead series 8-3-1 Last Meeting: (2012) 34-13 Bengals

The Eagles open up December against AFC North 2015 Champions, the Cincinnati Bengals.

Story lines

My first thought on this game was that it will be a physical, physical game. Given the playoff game against the Steelers, I expect the Bengals to be no different to any other team especially the one in midnight green. Expect this game to be a defensive match up with each running game for both teams being the vocal point of each offense.

One match up to keep an eye on is the one at wide receiver and corner back. That would be AJ Green against whom i would expect to be Eric Rowe. Look for Andy Dalton to try and expose the young CB just like the Lions did with Calvin Johnson a year ago.

Prediction: LOSS (5-7)

I see Philadelphia dropping three in a row. Being that AJ Green has a huge game as well with the combination of Cincinnati being an overall better team.

Next: Week Fourteen: Washington Redskins
