CINCINNATI — Oddsmakers aren't surprised by the Bengals' 0-2 start, even though the team feels like they should've won their first two games of the 2020 season.

Cincinnati lost their first two contests by a total of eight points. Even though they were close losses, their odds to win the AFC North, the conference and even their Super Bowl chances took a hit according to the oddsmakers. 

The Bengals' chances of winning the division dropped from 50/1 last week to 80/1 following their loss according to BetOnline. 

The Ravens are still the AFC North favorites (5/13), followed by the Steelers (13/5) and Browns (10/1). 

Cincinnati's odds of winning the AFC fell from 100/1 to 125/1. Their Super Bowl chances fell from 200/1 to 300/1, which is tied with the Jets and Panthers for the lowest in the NFL. 

The good news is Joe Burrow's Rookie of the Year chances are alive and well. The 23-year-old has fared well in his first two NFL games, which allowed him to remain the favorite for the award. That was no easy task, as running backs Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jonathan Taylor are off to impressive starts for the Chiefs and Colts, respectively. 

Burrow is the favorite for the award with 9/4 odds. Edwards-Helaire (5/2), Taylor (4/1) and Antonio Gibson (12/1) are just a few of the other first-year players still in the mix.
