The Denver Broncos will face off against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday with both teams on a knife edge between making a play off claim or falling to the way side of the also-rans for this season. This Week 9 game is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. ET and can be watched online through live stream via the link below.

The Bengals enter this game with a negative 3-4 record. They have lost their past three straight games, and will be desperate to get themselves back on track with a win today.

However, that will be easier said than done against an impressive Broncos line up. The Broncos come into this game with a 4-3 record and another win today will put them well placed to make a run for the postseason as we enter the second half of the regular season.

The Bengals made an impressive run to the postseason last year and many were questioning whether they could repeat such a feat. That still remains to be seen, but an air of pessimism has descended upon Cincinnati following their disappointing losses to the Miami Dolphins and the Cleveland Browns. Those results may ultimately ruin their push for the postseason, and although it's not too late to turn things around things are not looking positive at the moment.

The Broncos have the greater luxury of playing in a much weaker AFC West, and have managed to keep their heads above water with a winning 4-3 record until now. Their upcoming games certainly look easier than their past games and that should mean they can now begin to pull out ahead in the race for the AFC West division title.
