But rarely does something happen like what we’re seeing with the Bengals.
They are one of the two true enigmas in the NFL to start the season.
The Vikings are the fortunate yin to the unfortunate Bengals yang.
A team that was supposed to be the worst in the NFL after losing JJ McCarthy.
And the Bengals were a healthy Joe Burrow away from being a Super Bowl contender once again.
Imagine betting your delusional Vikings fan friend before the season which team would start 3-0.
How much money would you have wagered, Who Dey Nation?
This team seems to have one purpose this season.
Destroy everyone’s survivor league.
Mission accomplished, guys.
And it’s not like Burrow is struggling aside from Week 1.
And it still wasn’t good enough.
But is the season really over?
The market says no.
The Bengals are listed at +115 to make the playoffs.
It’s not looking great.
You know what does let it all soak in?
Giving your thumb a solid set of 10-12 scroll reps looking for these needles in the haystack.
That was a sad scroll.
Market makers would agree as evidenced with the +115 future.
Let’s look forward a little bit.
3-4 seems very attainable if we all agree Weeks 1 and 3 were gigantic flukes.
Remember that sad scroll with the six teams who made the playoffs covered in green?
And that’s the real bummer here.
Seems like Joe’s contract has severely limited their ability to invest in the defense.
What an enigma this team is…
