The 2024 NFL season did not go as planned for the Cincinnati Bengals. A team that was supposed to walk into the playoffs find themselves with their season on the line entering Week 18. No matter what Joe Burrow and his team does, they still need other favorable results to enter the postseason.

It is a tall task as both the Miami Dolphins and the Denver Broncos have seemingly easier games. Only if Joe Burrow and his teammates win against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the other two lose, will they make it to the Wild Card round.

This staggering number suggests there are many who want to try their luck at winning a major payout. The odds of the Bengals entering the playoffs and winning the Super Bowl are so low that many are gambling on it to multiply their winnings.

Could Joe Burrow and Bengals win it all?

The miracle the bettors are hoping for needs the Cincinnati Bengals to climb a steep hill. If they do make it to the Wild Card round, they will face Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. The three games the Bills lost this season have been to other playoff contenders featuring stud offenses.

Joe Burrow and his offensive teammates are capable of winning a shootout. However, the Bills offense with Josh Allen are not easy to stop. If they win, then as per the NFL’s playoff reseeding rules, the Bengals will be the lowest AFC team left in the playoffs.

That means, the Divisional Round will see them facing Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Going up against the back-to-back Super Bowl champions who also happen to lead the league is a nightmare for any team.

If they do win, Joe Burrow and the Bengals will move to the AFC Championship game. There they could face either the Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans, Pittsburgh Steelers or the Los Angeles Chargers. Three out of those four teams have defeated them this season.

But that does not mean Burrow can’t rile his team to a win. Win that and they will face the NFC Champions. Likely opponents could be the Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams and the Minnesota Vikings. Win the Super Bowl, and the Bengals could make a lot of people happy.
