The Review-Journal’s Matt Youmans, Las Vegas handicapper Kelly Stewart and Golden Nugget sports book director Tony Miller preview the Bengals’ season in the 18th of a series of 32 NFL team videos:

Andy Dalton passed for 25 touchdowns with seven interceptions last season. A.J. Green had 10 touchdown receptions. The running backs are talented. How good is this offense?
Are the Bengals destined for double-digit wins again or set to take a step back in the division?
Over or Under 9½ regular-season wins?
