Cincinnati Bengals 2012 Season Win Total Outlook & Projection:
2012 Cincinnati Bengals Las Vegas Season Win Total Line;
As of this writing, oddsmakers have the 2012 NFL regular season
win total line
for the Cincinnati Bengals set at 8 wins.
This number represents an increase of 2.5 wins from Cincinnati’s
prior year regular season win total line of 5.5, which the Bengals
easily topped, finishing with a record of (9-7).
Schedule Analysis:
In 2012 the Bengals find themselves with a middle of the road strength of schedule
with the combined winning percentage of their opponents in the prior year
checking in at the .500 mark.
In 2012 the Bengals will play 6 games versus teams that made the playoffs in the prior season.
This represents the same number of such games compared to the prior year campaign.
However, making the schedule tougher are four games versus teams which most would agree
underperformed last
season; @Kansas City in week 11, @San Diego in week 13,
Dallas at home in week 14, and @Philadelphia in week 15.
Of course the Bengals have their share of easier games on paper including;
Cleveland in week 2, @Washington in week 3, @Jacksonville in week 4, Miami in week 5,
@Cleveland in week 6, and home to Oakland in week 12.
As you can see 5 out of 6 of the Bengals’ easier games come in the first 6 weeks of the season…
Whereas 9 of Cincinnati’s 10 tough games come in a very tough stretch between weeks 7 and 17.
If the Bengals slip up at all in the early going, it could be very
tough to rebound into a playoff spot.
That said, the Bengals have a top 7 defense, with a strong defensive line.
And with Dalton and Green they proved they can score against the stiff defensive competition
in the AFC North.
Record Projection:
In 2012 we project the Bengals to go (10-6), topping the Las
Vegas season win total of 8 games.
We expect a hot start with the soft early schedule. And then a virtual split
of their remaining tougher contests.
Note, there’s always the chance injuries could wreak havoc
on this projection.
