The Bengals are playing the Patriots on monday night and every "expert" will for sure predict the Bengals to be housed. At this point with the Bengals sub par coaching and special teams I would have to agree with them. But if there is any hope for my Bengals it is that they are wearing their orange jerseys for monday night. The Bengals first wore the orange jerseys in 2004 and have wore them two times a season since then. Listed below are the games and the results when wearing orange.
Dallas W 26-3
Cleveland W 58-48
Green Bay W 21-14
Cleveland W 23-20
Carolina W 17-14
Oakland W 27-10
That makes the bengals 6-0 when wearing the orange.
Another reason I think the Bengals have a shot is that they always play up for home primetime games. Under Marvin Lewis the Bengals are 4-0 in home primetime games. The bengals may not win monday night, but you better believe the Pats aren't playing the Jets.

i'm all for sports superstitions...hell, LSU's Daytime games are enough to still make me cringe.
i'm reminded however about the Irish and what the green jerseys were supposed to do for the team.
