Sports Illustrated gives prediction for Bengals 2010 season

CINCINNATI - Sports Illustrated released their 2010 NFL predictions and the Bengals aren't predicted to go as far as fans are hoping.

Sports Illustrated writer Peter King predicts the Bengals will have a winning record at 9-7, but won't make the playoffs.

In the new issue, King talks to Quarterback Carson Palmer about some of the plays that cost Cincinnati a win against the Jets in last year's playoffs.

"I've watched that playoff game over and over. There's a bunch of plays I wish I could have back-four throws I wish I could have back," Palmer tells King, "I was hurrying my feet. We could have had a big gain on one play and I hurried, and I threw it over [Chad Ochocinco's] head. That's on me. But I can either say, 'Woe is me,' or I can figure out what I need to do to play better."
