Ole Bearcat Coaching

No one expected much from the Cincinnati Bearcats in 2022 after losing several key players from their College Football Playoff team in 2021. Some media outlets didn’t even rank them in their preseason Top 25. Luke Fickell and his staff continued their upward trajectory in their 7th season together. The Bearcats finished the regular season 9-3, including a New Year's Day victory over Louisville in the Fenway Bowl. Fickell's contract runs through the 2026 season, and he has stated on numerous occasions that he plans to honor it. Unless Cincinnati makes a run to the College Football Playoff or Fickell receives an offer he can't refuse, he will be back in Clifton for the 2023 season.

Ja'Marr Chase Odds

The 2023 NFL season is still months away, but oddsmakers have already released their early predictions for which teams will make the playoffs. It's only natural that fans would place a lot of emphasis on their favorite players, which may explain why one AFC team in particular is getting a lot of attention. According to CBox Streams, the Cincinnati Bengals are currently tied for the sixth-best odds to win next year's Super Bowl at +1200. They also have the ninth-best odds to win the AFC Championship Game at +600. Individually, quarterback Joe Burrow is tied for the fourth-best odds to win the NFL MVP award at +750. Wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is tied for the ninth-best odds to win the NFL Offensive Player of the Year award at +1400. Only two other wide receivers, Tyreek Hill and Davante Adams, have better odds than Chase.

The Bengals are coming off a Super Bowl appearance in 2022, and they have a lot of young talent on both sides of the ball. If they can stay healthy, they should be one of the favorites to win the AFC next season. Chase is one of the most exciting young players in the NFL, and he is poised for a big season in 2023. He led the NFL in receiving yards per game (113.8) and receiving touchdowns (13) and ranked second in the league with 1,455 receiving yards. He also had four 100-yard receiving games, including a 266-yard performance in Week 17 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Chase is a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses. He has the size and strength to beat press coverage, and he is also one of the best route runners in the NFL. He is also very good at making contested catches. Chase is a complete receiver, and he is only going to get better with experience. He is a big reason why the Bengals are one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl in 2023.
