ESPN 'crystal ball:' Bengals win next Super Bowl
The Bengals will win the AFC and the Super Bowl next season.
ESPN staff writer Dan Graziano says so.
Graziano provided 10 day-after-Super-Bowl predictions in a Monday piece on ESPN.com entitled, "Our 2016 NFL crystal ball."
Graziano, in prediction No. 10, called for Cincinnati to defeat the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl 51.
But there's a caveat: Few of Graziano's predictions appear to be rooted in facts-based explanations. Most are just for fun.
Take his explanation of the Bengals-Cardinals Super Bowl, for example:"Yeah, well, eventually Charlie Brown’s going to kick that football before Lucy yanks it away from him, right? One of these years?," wrote Graziano.
Graziano's prediction serves at least one valuable purpose for Bengals fans - it's definitely fun to imagine the Bengals winning the Super Bowl, especially the day after football season ends.
