00:00cincinnati bengals although their defense is really going to be the question going into the

00:04season uh you know they they actually maybe performed a little bit better than people thought

00:10and had some success at different times but the odds makers are still telling us that it is the

00:16ravens division to lose like this is not close and as we look at the fan duel sports book baltimore

00:23is minus 155 to win the division i mean you know matt this isn't a minus 110 or 120 this is a heavy

00:29favorite here what do the bengals have to do to take this division and get further into the playoffs

00:36which they would love to do yeah well i think it's i mean look it's football right so a lot of it's

00:42going to come down to that turnover luck it's going to come down to the whole you know game of inches

00:47cliche but they have the offense that can really out out gone and outscore anyone on any given sunday

00:53and that's what they're going to have to ride i mean obviously we know the defense has deficiencies

00:58it had deficiencies last year and it doesn't look like it got much better if at all on paper

01:03so you're you know you're hoping coordinator change and some coaching you know scheme changes can help

01:07uh maximize the talent they do have but this is a team that's going to be predicated on winning games

01:13by scoring a lot of points and i think you're right that that ravens number it does seem a little

01:18heavy for how good the bengals can be for how good the steelers can be so uh from that aspect i don't

01:25know if they're necessarily good value but from the bengals aspect uh you know they provide a

01:30little bit of value because like i said they have a legit mvp candidate they have maybe the best

01:35receiver in the game one of the top two they they have one of the best overall offenses in the game

01:39so you know if you're going to make a bet on a team like that that can score a lot of points

01:44any given week and and if they do get some turnover luck at the right times and can pull out some of

01:50those close games this year instead of losing them like they did last year then yeah you have

01:54a team that can win 12 games and and contend for a division so they're they're a real fascinating team

02:00i think they're operating on a very thin margin of error given the defensive talent but they're a team

02:05that's going to score points and be a lot of fun to watch

02:07you
