The Cincinnati Bengals have a tough path to the AFC North crown and playoffs after the 2022 NFL schedule release.
So much so, oddsmakers out of Las Vegas project the team to technically regress in the win column while taking on that tough schedule.
The Bengals’ over/under win total for 2022 is set at 9.5 (-110) at Tipico Sportsbook, which puts them around the 10-7 mark from last year before the Super Bowl run.
Keep in mind the Bengals essentially rested starters in their season finale last year, so that win total might have been 11.
Either way, the 2022 schedule is a brutal-looking affair, including an opener against Pittsburgh, at least five primetime games and a tough stretch in the winter months that looks quite a bit like a playoff stretch of its own.
