2010-11 Cincinnati Bengals Betting Odds & Schedule Analysis

Carson Palmer Cincinnati Bengals
Our offense is going to be much better with my new weapons
The Cincinnati Bengals will be more exciting this season thanks to the signing of WR Terrell Owens, but whether or not that will result in back-to-back playoff appearances remains to be seen.  The Bengals will have a very difficult time duplicating last year’s perfect 6-0 record in the AFC North, but the good news is that the Pittsburgh Steelers will be without starting QB Ben Roethlisberger for up to six games.  The bad news is Roethlisberger will still play them twice.

Odds to win AFC North Division: +275

Odds to win the AFC Conference: 13/1

Cincinnati Bengals Odds to win Super Bowl XLV: 25/1

Regular Season Wins Total Line: 8

Following is a breakdown of this season’s schedule for the Bengals:

 

Week 1             Sunday, September 12, 2010    @ New England Patriots

Analysis: The schedule starts off rough for the Bengals in the first two weeks, but at least they won’t have to visit Foxboro in December.

Week 2             Sunday, September 19, 2010    vs. Baltimore Ravens

Analysis: Cincinnati shut down Baltimore’s offense in sweeping two meetings last season, outscoring the Ravens by a 34-21 margin.

Week 3             Sunday, September 26, 2010    @ Carolina Panthers

Analysis: Despite playing on the road the next two weeks, the Bengals will still have an excellent opportunity to put together a solid winning streak before their bye.

Week 4             Sunday, October 3, 2010          @ Cleveland Browns

Analysis: The Browns played Cincinnati surprisingly tough last season, losing 23-20 at home in overtime and limiting the Bengals offensively in a 16-7 setback.

 

Week 5             Sunday, October 10, 2010         vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Analysis: The Bucs could potentially get off to a good start in their first three games, but they will likely get a reality check here against a Bengals team that wants a big victory before their bye week.

Week 6             — BYE WEEK —

Week 7             Sunday, October 24, 2010         @ Atlanta Falcons

Analysis: The Falcons will be playing at home for the first time in three weeks and also hope to enter their bye week with a win against Cincinnati.

Analysis: The Dolphins will be in the midst of playing three straight games against the top teams from the AFC North, including two in a row on the road.

Analysis: The Colts host Cincinnati in between road games at Philadelphia and New England.

Week 11           Sunday, November 21, 2010     vs. Buffalo Bills
