The Cincinnati Bengals are projected to have a better than 50 percent chance in just two of their games, and the game they’re most likely to lose is their London game against the LA Rams.
That said, the projections were not kind to Cincinnati.
The chart made by ESPN’s Mike Clay has Cincinnati being given under a 30% chance to win five of their 16 games. They’re projected to join the Redskins and Giants as a few of the league’s worst teams.
After one of the most exciting offseasons in team history currently ongoing, the Bengals, according to the analytics, aren’t going to be pleased with the finish. First-year coach Zac Taylor has his work cut out for him.
With the draft ahead of him, Taylor and the front office still have time to improve their roster, a roster many think will finish at the bottom of the AFC North. However, the Bengals’ success will hinge on more than just what can be projected.
A.J. Green and Tyler Eifert’s health will play a huge factor as will any note-worthy deal made in the draft.
