Where Are the Bengals in the AFC North Divisional Race?
The Bengals, 5-8 in 2024, are in third place in the AFC North. They're two games behind the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers. They are ahead of the 3-9 Cleveland Browns, however.
Where Are the Bengals in the AFC Wild Card Race?
The Bengals currently hold the No. 12 seed in the AFC. They're a spot behind the Las Vegas Raiders and a spot ahead of the Tennessee Titans. The 7-3 Los Angeles Chargers and 4-4 Indianapolis Colts hold the last two Wild Card spots, so Cincinnati is really only a game out of the playoffs. However, there are plenty of other teams vying for that spot.
Where to Bet on the Cincinnati Bengals Making the Playoffs
Bettors have plenty of options available to them if they're looking to wager on the Bengals this season. Generally, big-name operators like DraftKings Sportsbook Ohio tend to have the most betting markets available.
But, even the lesser-known Ohio betting apps should have most of the standard futures available to bet.
Looking at the Bengals Playoff History & Results
Historically, the Bengals haven't had the greatest reputation. They're one of 12 active franchises that have never won the Super Bowl.

They made the Super Bowl in 2021-22 and the AFC Championship Game in 2022-23. Below, you'll find the Bengals' playoff history over the past 10 years.
| 2023 Record: | 9-8 (Missed Playoffs) |
| 2022 Record: | 12-4 (Lost in AFC Championship) |
| 2021 Record: | 10-7 (Lost in Super Bowl) |
| 2020 Record: | 4-11-1 (Missed Playoffs) |
| 2019 Record: | 2-14 (Missed Playoffs) |
| 2018 Record: | 6-10 (Missed Playoffs) |
| 2017 Record: | 7-9 (Missed Playoffs) |
| 2016 Record: | 6-9-1 (Missed Playoffs) |
| 2015 Record: | 12-4 (Lost in Wild Card) |
