Bengals' '09 strength of schedule ranks 22nd

The combined winning percentage of the Bengals' 2009 opponents is .465, tied with the Rams for 22nd in the league. ESPN.com's got the chart. You would think that bodes well, but interestingly enough they have the toughest strength of schedule (again, as far as opponents' combined winning percentage) in the AFC North. The Browns' SOS ranks 25th, the Ravens' ranks 28th and the Super Bowl champs' ranks 29th. By the way, the Dolphins appear to have the toughest schedule, with an opponents' combined winning percentage of .594. Followed by Carolina and the Patriots.

The Bengals' 10 2009 opponents (aside from their division rivals twice each) are Denver (at home), Oakland (road), Kansas City (home), San Diego (road), Chicago (home), Green Bay (road), Detroit (home), Minnesota (road), Houston (home) and New York Jets (road).
