What does a defending division champ have to do to get value in NFL preseason probabilities? Cincinnati is 23.5 to 1 to win the Super Bowl, despite the fact that they won the AFC North last season. 
They are the third choice to win the AFC North in NFL preseason betting behind Baltimore and Pittsburgh.
NFL preseason probabilities on the Bengals have them opening up in the Hall of Fame Competition versus the Cowboys on August 8th. Since the Bengals play in the Hall of Fame Game they will have five preseason contests. They sponsor the Broncos in the standard Week 1 of the preseason after which they sponsor the Eagles in Week 2. They finish up with road competitions at Indianapolis and at Buffalo.
The Bengals didn’t finish strongly, though they did win the AFC North last season, as they lost 4 of their last five competitions including a playoff loss to the New York Jets. The Bengals offense was very one-dimensional last season and eventually teams discovered that the Bengals could not throw the ball. Quarterback Carson Palmer is basically not the quarterback that he was years ago. With an 83.6 passer rating, he was just 16th in the league last season. Cedric Benson leads the Bengals solid running game, but whether he can stay out of trouble off the field is always an issue. The Bengals made some upgrades to the team’s passing attack. Chad Ochocinco is not fantastic, though he’s still a quality receiver. The Bengals took tight end Jermaine Gresham with their first-round draft choice and they acquired Antonio Bryant in free agency. The Bengals also took Jordan Shipley from Texas as well as Dezmon Briscoe from Kansas, and they added former Jacksonville receiver Matt Jones.
Bryant is a wide receiver who has been competing in the NFL since 2002, and has competed with the Cowboys, the Browns, the 49ers and the Buccaneers. Gresham was the 21st total draft pick by the Bengals this year and is deemed a great tight end. Shipley is a third round pick wide receiver who holds almost each high school major career receiving record in the state of Texas. Briscoe, who ended his three-year college career as the Kansas all time leader in receiving yards, is a sixth round draft pick wide receiver.
The defense for Cincinnati was fairly good last season but the loss of Antwan Odom genuinely hurt. He should be healthy going into NFL preseason betting and the Bengals added Carlos Dunlap in the draft. The Bengals have a solid line backing corps led by Dhani Jones and Rey Maualuga. The secondary is good with Leon Hall and Jonathan Joseph.
The Bengals have no proven kicker since they let kicker Shayne Graham go to Baltimore which is a major concern that likely won’t go away in NFL preseason probabilities. They’re going with Dave Rayner or Mike Nugent. Since they do not have a reliable kicker, watch for the Bengals to lose games this season.
