The Cincinnati Bengals have won 2 consecutive AFC North titles and have been to the playoffs 7 of the past 12 seasons, and despite playing in the Super Bowl for the 2021 season, the Bengals have yet to be crowned NFL Champions.
The Bengals have been within inches of getting back to the Super Bowl and reigning supreme over the NFL through the past few seasons. This team will arguably be better as they added key depth in the offseason.
Their running back room and secondary will be the weak points as the Bengals lost S Jessie Bates III and S Vonn Bell to Atlanta and Carolina respectively. They did retain key LB Germaine Pratt.
Below, we look at the Cincinnati Bengals’ 2023 NFL Super Bowl odds from FanDuel Sportsbook along with projected win total, playoff, conference and division odds as we make our best NFL picks and predictions.

Bengals over/under win total
Odds provided by FanDuel Sportsbook – last updated May 14 at 3:30 p.m. ET; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list.
- 11.5 wins: (Over: +110 | Under: -134)
To be frank, there’s good reason to believe this team has improved tremendously. The Bengals added T Orlando Brown Jr., strengthening their line, inked TE Irv Smith Jr., an explosive play threat, and drafted DE Myles Murphy in the 1st round, shoring up their pass rush.
They lost 3 of their last 5 last season, all 3 by a field goal, and still managed to win 12 games. Couple the improvements with a few uncharacterstic losses last season, and this team should improve.
At plus-money odds with all their weapons back, I’d back Cincinnati OVER 11.5 (+110).
Bengals Super Bowl odds
- +1000 (bet $100 to win $1,000)
Cincinnati stands alone with the 5th shortest odds to win it all. The Kansas City Chiefs (+600) are the favorites, followed by the Philadelphia Eagles (+850).
At +1000, Cincinnati has an implied probability of winning the Super Bowl of 9.09% or 10/1 fractional odds.
The Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals have the longest odds at +18000. Backing the BENGALS (+1000) to win the Super Bowl for a 10-to-1 payoff is worth a small wager.
Will the Bengals make the playoffs?
- Yes -340 | No +260
There is far better value on the table here than taking Cincinnati to make the playoffs at (-340).
The Bengals have proven themselves over the past seasons, and barring an injury to QB Joe Burrow, should be a lock to at least secure a Wild Card spot, making the (+260) not a great play either.
Ultimately, on the playoff odds, PASS.
Odds to win AFC North Division
- Bengals +125 (bet $100 to win $125)
- Ravens +240 (bet $100 to win $240)
- Browns +350 (bet $100 to win $350)
- Steelers +650 (bet $100 to win $650)
Cincinnati implied probability of winning the AFC North is 44.4% or 1.25/1 fractional odds. The Ravens and Browns are the only threats here, but there’s no fun in betting favorites in division futures.
PASS.

Bengals odds to win AFC
- +500 (bet $100 to win $500)
The Bengals don’t quite have enough value here. Out of the Bengals, Chiefs and Bills — all 3 of which have difficult schedules, the Chiefs should get most of the action due to a weaker division. The AFC North is too difficult to suggest the teams won’t be able to pull off some surprise victories.
Cincinnati has won its division the past 2 seasons but has yet to win the AFC, justifying a PASS here.
