NFL Week 1 Betting Bengals Raiders

Want to bet on the Cincinnati Bengals in NFL Week 1? Current oddsmakers have the Bengals listed as -3.5 road favorites over the Oakland Raiders. The Cincinnati Bengals have shown themselves to be good enough to get into the playoffs several times in the past years. There’s only one problem, the Bengals seem to have trouble winning games in the postseason.

The Bengals start their 2015-2016 campaign with high hopes. The Bengals are in a talented division that features the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns. Notable players on the Bengals roster are Andy Dalton, A.J. Green, Jeremy Hill and AJ Hawk. In fact, if you include AJ McCarron, the backup quarterback, it could be said that the Bengals have 3 people named AJ on their roster.

Marvin Lewis has remained with Bengals for well over a decade and he is becoming one of the longest tenured coaches in the NFL in terms of being with the same team for a consecutive amount of seasons. The Bengals enter the 2015 NFL season as a 50/1 longshot to win Super Bowl 50.

Although the Bengals have struggled in the playoffs in the past, this year’s squad may have some success given the shear factor of unpredictability that the NFL brings fans each and every week during the season. The fact that any team can win makes the NFL so much fun to watch.
