Itâs not often the Cincinnati Bengals are one of the most positive talking points around the NFL.
Yet, here we are. After the schedule release, NFL record predictions love the Bengals. So do oddsmakers, who have the Bengals on pace for a franchise-best number of games where theyâre the favorite.
And now here comes the national overreactions, too.
Writing some top overreactions after the offseason, ESPNâs Dan Graziano said the Bengals getting back to the AFC title game isnât a reach at all.
âThere is a major opportunity here for the Bengals, as they've fielded a championship-caliber offense every year Burrow has stayed healthy,â Graziano wrote. âThey just need the other side of the ball to start chipping in again.â
As always, the big talking points are the additions to the defense. The Bengals spent big in free agency on names like Bryan Cook at safety and Boye Mafe and Jonathan Allen for the defensive line.
Then, of course, the Dexter Lawrence trade.
The unit needs to gel and compensate, if not surpass the loss of Trey Hendrickson, but itâs a transition that looks like it should succeed.
Predictions indicate that the Bengals are on track for a franchise-best number of games as favorites this season.
