Betting markets reflect how the odds makers perceive people betting rather than on how they perceive the team doing. A smaller market team such as the Bengals will always be priced longer than a more high profile team like the Cowboys would be in the same position. The idea that the Bengals would be significantly shorter odds with a different coach/off-season is frankly laughable. They're an unfashionable franchise and will be priced accordingly.
Don't think I'll be having a flutter myself this year (I haven't backed them since 2015 when I felt they were ridiculously long for the talent available) but I think they will exceed the low market expectation - as I believe they did last year when they constantly beat the spread.
