Cincinnati Bengals 2025-2026 Odds

However, the Bengals will need to improve their defensive line, and Burrow will need to stay healthy if they want to make the 2025 postseason.

What to Expect Next Season
In 2024, the Bengals had a roster capable of making a playoff push. They had one of the best quarterbacks in the league and a strong receiving core. But their defense struggled, even with DE Trey Hendrickson leading the way. The Bengals failed to make the playoffs after Denver snagged the last wild card spot with their win over the Chiefs in Week 18. But if Cincinnati can keep their core group together and strengthen their defensive line, the Bengals could find their way back to the playoffs in the 2025-26 season.
Receiver Ja'Marr Chase should help keep Cincinnati's offense among the best in the division. Oddsmakers have yet to release the Bengals' playoff chances, but we expect them to be pretty good. Luckily, Burrow is healthy, and the team should always be in the playoff conversation as long as he's available.

Cincinnati Bengals Stadium
The Cincinnati Bengals play their home games in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, at Paycor Stadium, formerly known as Paul Brown Stadium. The team had previously played at a stadium they shared with the Cincinnati Reds, known as the Cincinnati Riverfront Stadium. However, the Bengals sought a facility of their own, eventually opening the stadium in which they play today. It had formerly been known as Paul Brown Stadium, named for the team's co-founder.
Among the available concessions at Paycor Stadium is Skyline Chili, a hometown favorite and eventual franchise that originated in Cincy. At Skyline Chili, fans can order the restaurant's signature dish — spaghetti topped with chili.
Get to Know the Cincinnati Bengals Team
The Cincinnati Bengals are considered to have one of the better rosters in the NFL ahead of the 2025 season. However, that's largely thanks to their offense rather than the defense. This offseason, the Bengals will need to focus on upgrading their defensive line.
2025 Cincinnati Bengals Head Coach and Front Office
- Director of player personnel: Duke Tobin
- Head coach: Zac Taylor
- Coach record: 46-52-1
In 2025, coach Zac Taylor will return for his seventh season with the team, entering the year with a 46-52-1 overall record. He had a dreadful start in his tenure as the team's head coach, having led the team to a 6-25-1 overall record in his first two seasons. Since that start, Taylor has led the team to two post-seasons and one Super Bowl.
Technically, the Bengals do not have an appointed general manager. Instead, the Bengals have employed a director of player personnel, with executive Duke Tobin having held the position since 1999. Tobin often performs duties that are similar to the day-to-day responsibilities of a team's general manager, so he's often referred to as the team's GM, even though he doesn't hold the title.
2025 Cincinnati Bengals Offense
The Bengals' offense is expected to be strong again with QB Joe Burrow, TE Mike Gresicki and WRs Ja’marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Burrow was an MVP finalist and won Comeback Player of the Year in 2024. If he can build on last season’s success, Cincinnati will be a threat in the AFC.
The Bengals' offensive line could see improvement in 2025. Cincinnati is looking to upgrade Burrow's pass protection by signing a top free agent.
2025 Cincinnati Bengals Defense
It was the Bengals' defense that was the reason for the collapse of the Bengals in the 2024 season. Even with DEs Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard, Cincinnati's defense struggled all season. Unfortunately, the Bengals may have more work cut out for them when it comes to repairing the defense. Hubbard announced this offseason that he is retiring from the NFL.
In addition, Hendrickson has requested a trade, and losing him on an already struggling defensive roster could change things for the Bengals.
Cincinnati Bengals FAQs
