I\u2019ve written this sentence in plenty of ways over the last couple of seasons at it remains the same. While all of NFL punditry was waiting for the Buffalo Bills to catch the Kansas City Chiefs, the Cincinnati Bengals were the team actually doing it. Yes, the Bengals are the Bills we\u2019ve all been waiting for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cincinnati Bengals 2023 Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 Super Bowl Odds:<\/strong> +1100<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 AFC Championship Odds:<\/strong> +525<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 AFC North Odds:<\/strong> +160<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team Wins:<\/strong> Over 11 (-115), Under 11 (-115)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Bengals, expectations are rightly high after consecutive AFC Championship games and a Super Bowl appearance two seasons ago. Like the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs, they have the capability of winning every single game on their schedule. If they want to make a serious run at what would be their fourth Super Bowl appearance and first title, it needs to start in the regular season. They have to win more games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cincinnati has faced off against the Chiefs in consecutive seasons in the AFC Championship and both games have been at Arrowhead. In fact, Patrick Mahomes has never started an AFC playoff game outside the friendly confines of his home stadium. It\u2019s time for the Bengals to change that, but their schedule isn\u2019t helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their first three games are very tough, at the Cleveland Browns, then they host the Baltimore Ravens and their Super Bowl LVI opponents, the Los Angeles Rams. It gets significantly easier after that, with the Tennessee Titans, Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks showing up before their bye in Week 7. A 4-2 start would be fantastic. But they can\u2019t afford to lose more than two games the rest of the way and will have to do it facing a gauntlet of the San Francisco 49ers, Buffalo Bills, Ravens again, Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings, Steelers again and maybe the game for all the AFC homefield marbles, the Chiefs in the season\u2019s penultimate game. I\u2019d love to see this team get the 13 wins all but guaranteeing homefield advantage. Instead, I think they\u2019ll have to win some tiebreakers and fall one game short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023-23 Win Prediction:<\/strong> 12-5<\/p>\n\n\n\n
