He ranks the Bengals as having the 2nd best odds of winning it all (out of all the ring-less teams).
2) Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals are probably the deepest of the teams on this list. Cincinnati's offense, led by receiver A.J. Green and back Jeremy Hill, will be boosted by healthy returns from Marvin Jones and Tyler Eifert, while former Bengal Michael Johnson rejoined the talented defense after a year in Tampa Bay. This squad features a lot of good, young players -- including quarterback Andy Dalton, who, yes, I think is capable of winning a playoff game, his 0-4 lifetime record notwithstanding. The AFC North is tough, but coach Marvin Lewis can get Cincinnati, which should be competitive for a while, over the postseason hump.
Last year they were gushing over us too. I remember listening to ESPN in the morning and them talking about how we're one of the deepest teams in the NFL. I feel like at this point it just needs to be done because we've heard it and been through all the positive/negative preseason commentary. First we have to even make the playoffs to hope for breaking our winless post season streak. Im stocking up on double IPA beers this season!
