One of two NFL teams in Ohio, the Cincinnati Bengals have been in business since 1966 when they were created by former Cleveland Browns head coach Paul Brown as part of the American Football League.
Since then the team has had ups and downs, although the downs have been more common as of late. In fact, in 2018 the Bengals finished dead last in the AFC North division. That said, the Bengals actually present some interesting opportunities when it comes to sports betting.
In this team guide, we’ll examine every aspect of the Bengals to help you not only learn about the franchise but hopefully make a few more winning bets on them this season, too.
Follow how the Cincinnati Bengals are doing in the AFC North.
