Do you agree with win total odds for Bengals in 2017?

Depending on how you look at it, the Cincinnati Bengals either are trending up or down.

Sportsbook Bovada recently released its win total projections for the 2017 season, and the Bengals are set at 8.5.

That’s 2.5 games more than they won in 2016, but it’s lower than 9.5 line Bovada set last year.

Pittsburgh has the highest win line in the AFC North Division at 11.5, followed by Baltimore (9), Cincinnati and Cleveland (4.5).

That’s not too far off the numbers from 2016, when the Steelers were the favorite at 10.5, followed by the Bengals, Ravens (8.5) and Browns (4.5).

The biggest number on the board is 12.5 for the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, which Bovada said is the highest win total it has posted in more than a decade.

Also of note are the odds to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Bovada did not list Bengals first-round pick John Ross in its initial offering but has since added him at +1400, which means a $100 bet would return $1,400.

Second-round pick Joe Mixon comes in at +1200, which is still where the sportsbook had him listed the day after the draft ended.

Jacksonville’s Leonard Fournette is the favorite at +450, with Carolina’s Christian McCaffrey and Houston’s DeShaun Watson right behind at +550.
