Bengals Projected to Hit Key Betting Mark in 2025 Season

 The Athletic's Vic Tafur released his best win total bets for the 2025 NFL Season, and Cincinnati to go over 9.5 wins is one of his top wager options.

Cincinnati has failed to hit 10 wins each of the past two seasons.

"Two of the Ravens’ wins last year came by a total of four points over the Bengals, who were steamed to learn that they have to play at Baltimore in prime time for the fourth year in a row (and on a short-week Thursday night game for the third time)," Tafur wrote. "And this year, the Bengals will have to play them with defensive players off the street, as the receivers and quarterback took all the money. 

"The owners do actually have a little bit left, and edge rusher Trey Hendrickson wants it. He seems to have all the leverage, and if he doesn’t ultimately get the big deal after holding out, or is traded, go ahead and punt this prediction. At least the Bengals should be able to avoid another bad start this season, as they open against the Browns and the Jaguars."

Cincinnati is doing all it can on the coaching front to start as quickly as possible on the winning side of the ledger in September. That includes a full look at their plan this offseason and morning practice times during training camp.

Getting the front office to follow suit with signing Shemar Stewart, and Trey Hendrickson is the big domino to fall. Cincinnati will have a much more difficult time hitting 10 wins if either of those two misses any significant game time to start the season.

Still, we are a long way from that scenario as the contract staring contest continues between these sides.
