Cincinnati Bengals Super Bowl 59 Odds

Cincinnati Bengals Playoff History

The Cincinnati Bengals were established back in 1967. Since they were established, their Super Bowl history has consisted of meaningless trips having never won a Super Bowl despite going to the game three times. They’ve been to the playoffs 16 times with 11 division championships, and 2 conference championships.

Bengals Playoff Appearances

The Bengals have been able to clinch a playoff berth 16 times in their history. Their first head coach, Paul Brown, led them to three playoff appearances starting in 1970. In 1973 and 1975 as well, it wasn’t until 1981 when Forrest Gregg led them to back to back playoff appearances. The Sam Wyche era only saw two playoff appearances in his seven years of service in 1988 and 1990. The Marvin Lewis era is where things really took off for them as they saw 7 playoff appearances between 2003 and 2015. Zac Taylor has led them to their most recent appearances in 2021 and 2022.

Bengals Division Championships

Of the Bengals' 16 playoff appearances, they saw 11 of them as division champions. The Bengals' first two division championships came in their first two playoff appearances in 1970 and 1973. Forrest Gregg was only able to lead them to two more in 1981 and 1982. The Sam Wyche era saw two in 1988 and 1990. The next four in 2005, 2009, 2013, and 2015 were coached by Marvin Lewis. Zac Taylor, the current coach, has led them to two straight in 2021 and 2022.

Bengals Conference Championships

The Bengals have not been very efficient when turning their playoff appearances and division championships into conference championships as they only have three conference championships to their name. Their first one came in 1981 under coach Gregg and their second came in 1988 under coach Wyche. In their first two conference championship games, they went in a favorite by 4 or more points. Fast track to 2021 under Zac Taylor, they were a 7-point underdog to the Kansas City Chiefs and came out victorious.

Bengals Super Bowl Victories

With the Bengals three conference championships, that means they have been to the Super Bowl three times as well. However, they have gone 0-3 in the Super Bowl having struggled to cash their odds. Their first two Super Bowls in 1982 (XVI) with Forrest Gregg and in 1988 (XXII) with Sam Wyche both came as losses against the San Francisco 49ers. Their latest Super Bowl appearance came in 2021 with Zac Taylor where they fell short to the Los Angeles Rams.

The Bengals Super Bowl 59 odds opened in contention and will likely remain that way as long as Bengals SB 59 betting sites that accept players from the US continue to see them make the playoffs.

Bengals Have Mastered The Art Of Comebacks

The Cincinnati Bengals have some of the biggest comebacks in the NFL and in crucial games. Their largest comebacks were of 21 points which came first in 1981 to the Seattle Seahawks and again in 1995 against the Minnesota Vikings. Their most recent comeback though came in the 2022 AFC Championship game where they trailed the Kansas City Chiefs by 18 points. The Chiefs took an early 21-3 lead with 5 minutes remaining in the first half. The Bengals went on to score 20 unanswered points, holding the Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs to only three second-half points. Taking the lead with 6 minutes left, Evan McPherson hit a game-winning field goal in overtime locking this Bengals playoff comeback into history for their Super Bowl 56 run.
