The Cincinnati Bengals might suffer from a rare disadvantage on the 2024 NFL schedule, sure.
But there are some notable positives, too.
One? The Bengals are favored by more points than any other Week 1 team.
And two? Joe Burrow and Co. are favored in 13 of their 17 games next season, with only a handful of teams favored in more games on the opening lines.
There are exceptions outpacing the Bengals in this regard — such as the 49ers stunningly sitting as favorites in every single game.
But for the Bengals to sit favored in double-digit games alongside the likes of the 49ers, Chiefs and Ravens — to name a few — speaks to how oddsmakers feel about Burrow and Co. going into next season.
