All of the below are probably above Bengals in odds:
Packers
Rams
Bucs
Bills
Chiefs
And then you probably add a couple more just because of general franchise success and doing well last year but lost in the playoffs:
Cowboys
49ers
Then you probably have some teams getting put ahead just because of the higher profile FA(s) brought in despite actually doing worse last year in the regular season:
Chargers
Broncos
Raiders
Personally, I wouldn't put the Bengals lower than the first 5 I listed.
You know KC had a crap OL in 2020. It was a huge question mark going into 2021 but Vegas still liked them. Why? Mahomes & Reid primarily but their firepower too. It’s just going to take Cincy to prove that they’ve truly arrived as a legit team. They’ve got to beat the teams they are supposed to handily and continue to win their share vs the top teams.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
