started the 2023 NFL season the same way they started the 2022 season by losing their first two games on the schedule.
Unfortunately, unlike last season, both of the first two games in 2023 were against division opponents. First, they lost to the Cleveland Browns (-3.5)
, and then, even though they played better, they were defeated by the Baltimore Ravens (-7.5).
As things stand now, the Ravens are 2-0, the Browns and Steelers are both 1-1, and the Bengals are 0-2. According to ESPN’s Jamison Hensley, the Bengals now have the lowest odds of the four teams to win the division this season via ESPN Analytics.
