NFL futures: Two Cincinnati Bengals bets to make

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.
We're going through all the available futures offered to us for each NFL team and picking out two of our favorites.
Maybe it's a player prop future, maybe it's built on the team itself. Either way, we're finding two bets for all 32 teams. Today's target: the Cincinnati Bengals.
Cincinnati Bengals 2024 odds
Wins: Over 10.5 (-134) | Under 10.5 (+110)
To win division: +145
To win conference: +700
To win Super Bowl: +1300
Two future bets on the Bengals
Joe Burrow to win Comeback Player of the Year (+300 DraftKings )
Joe Burrow suited up for just 10 games last season due to injury and was hampered for most of them before that with a different injury. Because of that, Cincinnati seriously struggled and missed out on the postseason after two straight trips to the AFC Championship Game.
One should expect a return to prominence here, which we'll touch on more in a moment.
The bet here is on Burrow to win Comeback Player of the Year, currently the second-favorite behind Aaron Rodgers. There was some language clarification that the voting committee felt necessary to highlight this year around this award. The emphasis came that voters should be awarding a player who has returned from an injury or similar situation that has forced them out of the game, rather than awarding a player who drastically improved their game.
That latter point has fueled some wins in this market the past year, basically a "QB who was bad who then joined a new team and played much better." With that seemingly designed to be avoided moving forward, Burrow falls right into the category of a worthy recipient, should he bounce back as we think he will.
People are likely sleeping on Burrow and the Bengals because they were out of sight for most of last season. This is a team with serious experience that has a solid offensive line, defensive contributors galore, and a star QB throwing to two star WRs.
The Burrow-Ja'Marr Chase-Tee Higgins connection may have just one year left with Higgins likely on a new team in 2025, but there's every reason to believe that trio can beat down teams through the air and pile up wins for Cincy.
We're going to trust in the postseason success this franchise has had, and a return to health for their most important player should quickly remind everyone that the Bengals are one of the AFC's and NFL's best. We're willing to take a stab at 13-1 here on a Super Bowl title.
