Sportsbetting on the Cincinnati Bengals has been very successful this season and it could continue as the team signed former Kansas City running back Larry Johnson on Tuesday. Sports betting online had Johnson signing a one-year deal with the Bengals. Sportsbetting has Johnson getting a chance to play with the Bengals after being run out of Kansas City. Johnson did nothing this sportsbetting season for the Chiefs except alienate his head coach, former players and fans.
The Bengals are hoping he doesn’t do the same to them. He has been told he will be fourth on the team’s depth chart at running back. Starting running back Cedric Benson was hurt in Sunday’s sports betting online win against Pittsburgh but the injury does not appear to be serious. Benson could play this week in the sportsbetting matchup against Oakland.
Kansas City got rid of Johnson last sportsbetting week after the controversy regarding his comments regarding head coach Todd Haley. While the Chiefs are happy to be rid of Johnson, the Bengals seem happy to get him. Even Benson who is having a great year at running back for the Bengals seems happy to have Johnson. He was quoted as saying he welcomed Johnson. “Yeah, I mean, well, you know, it’s good for him. I was once in that position and he’s getting his opportunity again. In all aspects we definitely plan on it to be a contribution to the team. If he can help the team in a positive way then I’m all for that.” Benson said. The Bengals are 11th in the league in rushing, in large part thanks to the running of Benson.
Cincinnati is 7-2 straight up this season and 6-3 against the sportsbetting odds. They lead the AFC North and have already swept both Pittsburgh and Baltimore this sportsbetting season. Their remaining sportsbetting schedule is pretty easy in sports betting online as they have very winnable games against Oakland, Kansas City, Cleveland and Detroit. Sportsbetting shows that if they win those four that would get them to 11 wins and then they would need to win against Minnesota, San Diego or the New York Jets to finish at 12-4. That would almost assuredly win them the division and that would a huge sportsbetting story in Cincinnati. The Bengals are 9.5 point road favorites in sports betting online this sportsbetting week at Oakland.
