The Bengals Super Bowl odds for 2014 were at 35/1, great odds if you ask us here at Gambling911.com. AceSportsbook.com also had Cincinnati with 2/1 odds of winning the AFC North, more great value.
Chris Burke of Sports Illustrated writes:
The Bengals have made the postseason each of the past two seasons (and three of the last four), and there’s no reason to believe they’ll fall out of the picture any time soon. There is a solid base of young talent here, led by Green and DT Geno Atkins, and Cincinnati has surrounded them with enough pieces to believe that there could be a breakthrough coming for this squad. Is this the season the Bengals get over the top, both in the division and in the playoffs? If QB Andy Dalton is up to the task, it’s very possible.
Soven Berry of the Bleacher Report writes of the Bengals chances in 2013-2014:
With the Ravens losing many key players, the Steelers on the decline and the Browns not quite there yet, 2013 is the perfect season for the Bengals to break through and finally win the AFC North.
Baltimore will still be the toughest competition for Cincinnati, though. However, the Ravens have a .535 strength of schedule, the fifth hardest in the league. Look for Baltimore to drop a couple games and come into Cincinnati in Week 17 and lose. It won’t be easy for the Bengals, but 2013 is the perfect year to take home the AFC North.
Blessed with a combination of star power, youth explosion and veteran presence, the Bengals will be too much for the rest of the division to handle.
