According to oddsmakers at BetDSI, the Bengals are listed with 25/1 odds to win Super Bowl LI. They are also listed with 10/1 odds to win the AFC Championship next season, while their over/under total for wins are listed at 9.5 wins.
The Bengals were 12-4 last season, winning the AFC North title before losing to the Steelers in the Wild Card playoffs. Granted, the loss came without starting QB Andy Dalton, who had an injury. The Bengals have won double-digits games in each of the last four years and in six of the 13 seasons with Lewis as head coach.
