The NFL season is starting, which means gambling and picking games is back!
Of course the Bengals aren’t going to be viewed as a top team early in the year considering their performance from last season. The national media and oddsmakers will mostly look at Cincinnati as a wild card without knowing how much Zac Taylor becoming the head coach will change things.
Odds
The Bengals are currently 9.5-point underdogs against the Seahawks, according to Bovada. This is the second-largest point spread for a Week 1 this season, so it’s safe to say the oddsmakers do not have much confidence in the Bengals to start the year.
