NFL Preseason Probabilities for Cincinatti Bengals

July 30, 2010 · By admin

What does a defending division champ have to do to obtain value in NFL preseason probabilities? Cincinnati won the AFC North last year yet they are 23.5 to 1 to win the Super Bowl.



Behind Baltimore and Pittsburgh, they are the third choice to win the AFC North in NFL preseason wagering.

NFL preseason probabilities on the Cincinnati Bengals have them beginning up in the Hall of Fame Match against the Dallas Cowboys on August 8th. Since the Cincinnati Bengals play in the Hall of Fame Game they will have 5 preseason competitions. They host the Broncos in the official Week 1 of the preseason after which they host the Eagles in Week 2. They finish off with road games at Buffalo and at Indianapolis.

The Cincinnati Bengals did not finish strongly, though they did win the AFC North last year, as they lost 4 of their last 5 matches including a playoff loss to the New York Jets. The Bengals offense was pretty 1-dimensional last year and eventually teams discovered that the Cincinnati Bengals could not throw the ball. Quarterback Carson Palmer is basically not the same quarterback that he used to be. With an 83.6 passer rating, he was just 16th in the league last year. Cedric Benson leads the Cincinnati Bengals strong running game, but whether he can stay out of trouble off the field is always a problem. The Cincinnati Bengals made some additions to their passing attack. Chad Ochocinco is not great, though he is still a great receiver. The Cincinnati Bengals got tight end Jermaine Gresham with their 1st-round draft choice and they obtained Antonio Bryant in free agency. The Cincinnati Bengals also got Jordan Shipley from Texas and Dezmon Briscoe from Kansas, plus they added former Jacksonville receiver Matt Jones.

Bryant is a wide receiver who’s been playing in the NFL since 2002, and has played with the Cowboys, the Browns, the 49ers and the Buccaneers. Gresham was the 21st total draft pick by the Cincinnati Bengals this year and is regarded as a great tight end. Shipley is a third round pick wide receiver who secured practically each and every high school major career receiving record in 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 year but the loss of Antwan Odom truly hurt. The Cincinnati Bengals added Carlos Dunlap in the draft and Odom ought to be healthy going into NFL preseason wagering. The Cincinnati Bengals have a strong line backing corps headed by Dhani Jones and Rey Maualuga. The secondary is good with Leon Hall and Jonathan Joseph.

The Cincinnati Bengals let kicker Shayne Graham go to Baltimore so they have no proven kicker which is a big concern that likely won’t go away in online football betting probabilities. They are going with Dave Rayner or Mike Nugent. Look for the Bengals to lose matches this year due to the fact they don’t have a reliable kicker.
