Why This Trend Exists
The Bengals' strong performance against the spread during extended losing streaks reflects a franchise that has historically been undervalued by oddsmakers when adversity strikes. Cincinnati's organizational culture under the Brown family ownership has fostered resilience through lean periods, with players and coaches who understand how to navigate extended rough patches without completely falling apart. When the Bengals hit rock bottom during losing streaks, they often benefit from inflated point spreads as public perception turns heavily negative. The franchise's tendency to develop strong locker room chemistry means they rarely quit on seasons entirely, continuing to compete hard even when playoff hopes fade. This creates value opportunities as the betting market overreacts to their struggles. The recent data suggests this trend has intensified with Joe Burrow's arrival, as the team maintains competitive fight even during difficult stretches. Burrow's leadership and the offensive talent around him ensures Cincinnati rarely gets blown out, keeping games within reasonable margins even when results don't go their way. This trend carries the most weight during mid-to-late season losing streaks when public sentiment reaches its lowest point and oddsmakers begin factoring in perceived team quit factor that simply doesn't exist with this organization.
