The return of Carson Palmer. The reigning Super Bowl champs. Tim Tebow.

Despite ticket sale woes in 2011-12, something tells me the Cincinnati Bengals won't have much trouble selling out home games this coming season.

While an official schedule has yet to be released, the Bengals are set to host an awfully alluring set of games next year, including matchups with the Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos, Dallas Cowboys, Oakland Raiders and New York Giants.

Cincinnati managed to make an impressive run to the playoffs last season but also faced a considerably weaker schedule. The Bengals will have to perform at a much higher level in the year to come should they hope to find similar success.

Aside from their tough slate of home games, Cincinnati will pay visits to San Diego, Washington, Jacksonville and Philadelphia.

2012-13 won't be an easy year, but it's almost guaranteed to be an exciting one.
