If you’re holding a longstanding Super Bowl futures ticket on the Cincinnati Bengals, good on you, and can I “Burrow” the time machine?
Cincinnati was a massive underdog to not only win the AFC Championship (+10,000) but even make the playoffs, with the Yes/No postseason prop pegging the Bengals to be playoff-bound at +400 before the season started.
Yet, here we are. Cincinnati is still an underdog, taking on the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI on February 13, but a live dog at +170 odds. That’s about a 37% chance of winning the Lombardi Trophy, which looks a lot nicer than the 0.50% shot oddsmakers gave the Bengals back in the summer.
