Injuries to star players, roster attrition, and just plain bad luck have plagued the franchise, culminating in three straight postseason misses from 2023\u201325.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Despite that recent downturn, cautious optimism surrounds the Bengals this offseason. Their trio of offensive stars\u2014Joe Burrow, Ja\u2019Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins\u2014are all under contract and healthy, while the organization is emphasizing continuity on the coaching side. Cincinnati remains focused on continuing its defensive rebuild, while also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cincyjungle.com\/cincinnati-bengals-rumors\/185749\/trey-hendrickson-franchise-tag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:working to control the future;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">working to control the future<\/a> of standout defensive end Trey Hendrickson in one form or another.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Even with Burrow, Chase, and Higgins once again positioned as the centerpieces of the roster, oddsmakers remain lukewarm on Cincinnati\u2019s Super Bowl outlook. Per FanDuel, America\u2019s No. 1 Sportsbook, the Bengals <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.fanduel.com\/navigation\/nfl?tab=2026-27\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:currently sit at +3000 odds;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">currently sit at +3000 odds<\/a> to win Super Bowl LVI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">All but one of the 2025 playoff teams\u2014the Carolina Panthers\u2014have better Super Bowl odds than Cincinnati. The Bengals currently sit right at the league median at No. 16 overall, trailing teams like the Chiefs and Lions, who missed this year\u2019s playoff bracket entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Also worth noting: The Baltimore Ravens have the third-best odds at +1200, tied with the Bills, despite undergoing their first head-coaching change since 2008.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Of course, these odds are far from set in stone. With free agency and the NFL Draft still ahead, significant movement is expected across the league. Cincinnati, armed with the No. 10 overall pick and potential flexibility in the open market, is well-positioned to reshape its roster quickly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Ultimately, the Bengals\u2019 path back into true contender status hinges on whether they can finally pair their elite offense with a defense capable of holding its own. If the front office nails this offseason\u2014and a little injury luck swings back in their favor\u2014Cincinnati could once again find itself outperforming expectations. For a franchise that has already proven its ceiling, the window may not be as closed as these most recent odds suggest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Who Dey!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Super Bowl LX finished up the 2025 NFL season Sunday evening, as it concluded with the Seattle Seahawks&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":739485,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2053],"tags":[14707,117,228,215,260,346,227,256,2296,7,1577,15509,249,6,109,261,505,102634,2978,1503],"class_list":["post-739484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cincinnati-bengals","tag-andrei-iosivas","tag-baltimore-ravens","tag-bengals","tag-bills","tag-carolina-panthers","tag-chiefs","tag-cincinnati","tag-cincinnati-bengals","tag-cincinnatibengals","tag-football","tag-joe-burrow","tag-lincoln-financial-field","tag-new-england-patriots","tag-nfl","tag-philadelphia-eagles","tag-seattle-seahawks","tag-super-bowl","tag-super-bowl-lxi","tag-tee-higgins","tag-trey-hendrickson"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116038932631889068","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=739484"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739484\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/739485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=739484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=739484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=739484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
