    SEASON FORECASTS AND FUTURES PICKS

    The Bengals are not contenders to win the Super Bowl at 1000/1, 0.1%. They are one of 3 teams with these odds (#29 in the league). They do not have any real chance to win the Super Bowl. They are not a good value to win the AFC either at 500/1, 0.2%. They are projected to win 6 games and live up to their pre-season futures line of 6. Their playoff chances stand at 4.6% (1.3% to win the division). Their average wins per simulation puts them at #15 in the AFC.

    REGULAR SEASON RECAP AND UPCOMING GAMES

    At 0-2 they are obviously short of expectations. Based on the money lines, the Bengals had an expected win percentage of 36%. If you bet on them to win every game you would be down 200 units. They are 1-1 against the spread for a -10 loss. Their over-under record is 1-1. Their 6-10 record last season failed to meet expectations. Their expected win percentage was 41%. They were solid against the spread going 9-7 for (+130 profit). They went over 8 times and came in under 6 times. Based on computer simulations they only have a 41% chance to beat the Bills in their next game. The table below shows their upcoming games, their simulation based win percentage and their recent head to head record (WL, ATS, OU).
