This year SI picks Lions over Bengals. Good for chatter. With beer. Lots of beer.

with the Bengals finally winning one after going 0-3 to this point. The Lions finally just making the SB would be huge. And, you never can tell. Zero pundits picked Cincinnati to reach SB LVI. Prognostication is a tough racket. You just have to trust the chicken bones and tea leaves.
