Cincinnati Bengals: Betting Odds 2007

The Cincinnati Bengals are looking forward to a crime-free 2007, the betting odds say they are not ready.

Cincinnati Bengals: Betting Odds 2007 In 2006 most of the headlines about the Cincinnati Bengals were in the criminal section and the turmoil resulted in an overall poor performance by the team. The offense of the Bengals last season was strong, however, for a total of 373 points scored. The defense, on the other side has a lot of work to do to improve in 2007, after 331 were given up during the last football season. If this trend continues in 2007, keep a close eye on the point spread for the Bengals games. But the real test will be on head coach Marvin Lewis to prove he will be able to resolve the discipline problems.

The Cincinnati Bengals lost to the Detroit Lions in the opener of the Preseason 27-26. Johnson passed for 150 yards and completed 11-of-20 for the Bengals, and Chris Henry ran for a TD off six carries for 86 yards in the loss. Unfortunately, Chris Henry will miss the first eight regular games, thanks to a suspension from commissioner Roger Goodell. In August the Cincinnati Bengals waived RB Dan Burks and LB Cameron Siskowic, and signed RB Curtis Brown and TE Nate Lawrie. And the Begals offense in 2007 figures to be as potent as ever with Carson Palmer healthy, making them a highly productive road squad.
