Even coming out of a loss, things still look good for the Cincinnati Bengals heading into Week 4 on the road against the Atlanta Falcons.

Those Falcons are 1-2 with problems of their own. Cincinnati’s loss last week was more a product of seriously missing injured players than anything else, so 3-1 is still obtainable against a down opponent.

Here’s why the Bengals should win.

Bengals injuries: Cincinnati got crushed on the ground last week while missing Vontaze Burfict and Preston Brown. The latter looks set to return, as does wideout A.J. Green.

Falcons injuries: The Falcons are a hobbled mess with four starters on injured reserve, including two safeties and a linebacker. Running back Devonta Freeman has missed the last two games and pass rusher Takkarist McKinley is still dealing with an issue.

Ryan isn’t Newton: One of the biggest problems for the Bengals last week was Cam Newton, especially in the red zone. He rushed for two scores, something we shouldn’t expect from Matt Ryan — meaning a more predictable attack for the Bengals to deal with.

Gio: Bernard was great on 12 carries last week, gaining 61 yards and a score on a 5.1 per-carry average. He caught another five passes for 25 yards. If the Bengals can stretch that out and give him more work, Atlanta is ranked 28th against the rush.

CBs up to task: Atlanta intimidates plenty of teams because of their trio of wideouts. Not the Bengals, who have an elite player on the outside with William Jackson and a superb slot guy with Darqueze Dennard.

No pass rush: The Falcons are laughably bad at putting pressure on quarterbacks, which hints at a massive day for Andy Dalton.

DVOA: The Falcons rank 30th in DVOA at Football Outsiders, which takes league average based on situation and opponent into account. That’s bad — really bad (Cincinnati ranks 15th).

3rd down percentage: One more: The Falcons allow a third-down conversion on 48.8 percent of opponent’s attempts. Also very bad.
