NFL Division FUTURE BET Released TODAY!

SCP is releasing our first NFL Future play for FREE by tapping the Cincinnati Bengals to WIN the AFC North at +155 over the Ravens, Steelers and Browns. Cincinnati has a healthy Joe Burrow and that is a very good place to start. Joe is the best QB in the league this side of Mahomes and he gets to throw to the best wideout tandem in the league in Higgins and Chase (should sign a very lucrative new deal soon and be on the field for the opener). Rookie Burton from Alabama has been great in the preseason and should step into the slot vacated by Tyler Boyd a few games in. The signing of Trent Brown at right tackle solidifies a strong Offensive line and the drafting of 6’8″ Mims out of Georgia in the first round to back him up (and eventually replace him) offers nice depth. The running game with newly acquired Moss and promising second year player Brown should be fine. The defense will be strong at corner and safety while the defensive line has had some injury issues and also will be without the departed stalwart Reader. New safeties Vonn Bell and Geno Stone (stolen from the Ravens) are experienced and Taylor-Britt at corner is a future Pro Bowler. But the kicker is the schedule! With Burrow out last season the Bengals fell into the cellar which means this season they get to play a LAST PLACE schedule that is far easier than what Baltimore will face. The Ravens will always be a force as long as Lamar is there but their defense lost some pieces and their wideouts are over rated. We do not think the Steelers will vie for the division crown with their QB uncertainty. The Browns are very talented but again there are question marks at QB and with Chubb missing the first part of the season. Let’s not forget 2 and 3 years ago with a healthy Burrow the Bengals reached the AFC Championship and the Super Bowl and were within a botched referee call of winning it at the end. They also beat the Chiefs to get there and have much of that same roster intact. With all things considered we do not believe the Bengals should be plus money to win the Central and release this play as a 3* (Very Strong) selection.
