Football is around the corner, and the time is now to do your research on interesting prop bets. It can be nice to have a lottery ticket that you can root for and watch potentially grow in value (or become absolutely worthless) as the year progresses. An exciting team to keep an eye on would be an extremely talented, but oft-injured Cincinnati Bengals.
Most Regular Season Wins: +900 on DraftKings Sportsbook
While the Bengals managed to squeak out a winning season in 2023, it was not anywhere near what they hoped for at the start of the year. Losing Joe Burrow to injury left them in a tough spot, and while their back up, Jake Browning, played well, it still wasn’t enough to avoid finishing in the cellar of the AFC North. Now with Burrow back and healthy, the sky is the limit for the Bengals, who finished with 12 wins just two seasons ago.
Ja’marr Chase Over 8.5 Touchdowns: +100 on DraftKings Sportsbook
Chase with Burrow is a monster combination and if 9 Touchdowns is the mark to hit, they have the ability to reach that in just a few weeks. He, with Burrow as his QB, has had multiple 3 Touchdown games, along with a bunch of 2 Touchdown performances.
Zack Moss Over 850.5 Rushing Yards: +125 on DraftKings Sportbook
Welcome to Cincinnati! Moss has been the back up for the most of his short career, but did get a lot of attempts in 2023 in place of the injured Jonathan Taylor in Indianapolis. With that opportunity, Moss managed to rush for nearly 800 yards in 183 attempts, good for 4.3 yards per carry. Listed as the starter for the Bengals, Moss may be able to eclipse that total and hit the over on his rushing yards.
Joe Burrow Over 28.5 Passing Touchdowns: +110 on DraftKings Sportsbook
Burrow is back, and after taking the second half of the season off to recover, he should be able to hit the ground running in 2024. In his two full healthy seasons, Burrow has thrown for 34 and 35 touchdowns, significantly higher than the mark of 28.5. Health being the biggest factor, Burrow could be poised to take another step forward.
Joe Burrow MVP: +900 on DraftKings Sportsbook
And what if Burrow does take that step forward? Is Burrow capable of unseating Mahomes and Jackson to add some of his own MVP hardware? With Chase and Higgins as his options, Burrow has the talent to rack up some really impressive statistics for what will likely be a relevant Bengals team.
Trey Hendrickson Defensive Player of the Year: +5000 on DraftKings Sportsbook
With 17 sacks in 2023, second to only T.J. Watt, Hendrickson has shown his ability to dominate when on the field. In the preseason of 2023, you could have bet Hendrickson to win DPOY at +25000. Now, in 2024, his odds are 5 times lower, at +5000. The league is taking notice of his talents, but there is still value at what calculates out to 50 to 1.
