What does a reigning division victor have to do to obtain value in NFL preseason odds? Cincinnati is 23.5 to 1 to win the Super Bowl, despite the fact that they won the AFC North last season. 
Behind Baltimore and Pittsburgh, they are the 3rd choice to win the AFC North in NFL preseason betting.
NFL preseason odds on the Bengals have them opening up in the Hall of Fame Game versus the Dallas Cowboys on August 8th. Since the Bengals play in the Hall of Fame Game they will have five preseason competitions. They host Denver in the formal Week 1 of the preseason and then host the Eagles in Week 2. They finish up with road games at Buffalo and at Indianapolis.
The Bengals did win the AFC North last season however they did not finish strongly as they lost 4 of their last five competitions including a playoff loss to the New York Jets. The Cincinnati offense was very 1-dimensional last season and eventually teams discovered that the Bengals could not throw the ball. Quarterback Carson Palmer is simply not the same quarterback he was years ago. He was only 16th in the league last season with an 83.6 passer rating. The Bengals have a solid running game headed by Cedric Benson but whether he can stay out of trouble off the field is always an issue. The Cincinnati Bengals made some additions to their passing attack. Chad Ochocinco is still a solid receiver but he is not fantastic. The Cincinnati Bengals took tight end Jermaine Gresham with their first-round draft choice and they obtained Antonio Bryant in free agency. The Cincinnati Bengals also took Jordan Shipley from Texas and also Dezmon Briscoe from Kansas, plus they added former Jacksonville receiver Matt Jones.
Bryant is a wide receiver who’s been competing in the NFL since 2002, and has competed with the Cowboys, the Browns, the 49ers and the Buccaneers. Gresham was the 21st overall draft pick by the Bengals this year and is viewed as a fantastic tight end. Shipley is a 3rd round pick wide receiver who holds almost each and every high school major career receiving record for the state of Texas. Briscoe, who concluded his three-year college career as the Kansas all time leader in receiving yards, is a 6th round draft pick wide receiver.
The defense for Cincinnati was fairly good last season however the loss of Antwan Odom genuinely hurt. The Cincinnati Bengals added Carlos Dunlap in the draft and Odom should be healthy going into NFL preseason betting. The Cincinnati Bengals have a solid line backing corps headed by Dhani Jones and Rey Maualuga. The secondary is good with Jonathan Joseph and Leon Hall.
The Cincinnati Bengals allowed kicker Shayne Graham go to Baltimore so they’ve got no demonstrated kicker and that is a major concern that most likely will not go away in online football betting odds. They’re going with Dave Rayner or Mike Nugent. Since they do not have a reliable kicker, look for the Bengals to lose games this season.
