NFL Playoff Picture: Latest Bengals postseason odds and updated AFC standings

The Bengals keep their hopes alive.

The Cincinnati Bengals are still alive in the playoff race after knocking off the Cleveland Browns today in the Queen City.

Now sitting at 7-8, the Bengals need a lot to roll their way to actually break into the playoffs. However, things somewhat stood still.

Denver dropped to the Chargers on Thursday, which helped the case. However, the Colts and Dolphins picking up wins kicked the can down the road until next week to see if there is any movement, as they all sit at 7-8 on the season.

The Bengals currently have their Super Bowl odds at +12000, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. That is a step up from last week, in which their odds sat at +30000.

The Bengals have two games remaining with dates set with the Broncos and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Speaking off, FanDuel has the Bengals favored by three points in their Week 17 showdown with Denver. The Bengals are 0-7 this season vs. teams with a winning record.

Time to end that skid and keep those playoff hopes alive one more week.
