Show Notes
Drew Dinsick and Andy Molitor break down the Bengals from a betting angle. Three straight seasons out of the playoffs, a defense that finished dead last in yards allowed per play, and a front office that finally did something about it. We go through the win total, the division price, the futures worth touching, and where this team gets priced wrong in September.
The Bengals traded the No. 10 overall pick to the Giants for Dexter Lawrence and added Jonathan Allen, Boye Mafe, Bryan Cook and Kyle Dugger. They also let Trey Hendrickson walk. Al Golden gets a second year running the defense, Zac Taylor enters year eight on the hot seat, and Joe Burrow is back from the turf toe injury that cost him nine games.
The question we keep coming back to is whether the market has already paid for the improvement. Cincinnati has one of the easiest schedules in the league and the win total has been climbing all summer.
What we cover:
Win total analysis and which side we are on -AFC North odds and how Cincinnati stacks up against Pittsburgh and Baltimore -Super Bowl and conference futures value -Whether the defensive additions actually move the needle -Schedule spots and early season lookahead lines
