Cincinnati is a high-volatility C-type team, dealing with inconsistency, defensive leaks, and a market that has lost faith in them. C-teams can provide value when the public completely abandons them — but you must pick your spots carefully.

Right now, the Bengals are struggling to meet expectations and are priced accordingly.

📊 1. Market Value Index Breakdown

DMVI: +6 (Overvalued)

This shows a team the market is pricing too optimistically, despite poor execution:

• Defensive collapses inflate totals and spreads.
• Cincinnati fails most test environments against A-type teams.
• Books have not fully adjusted downward because the Bengals name still carries weight.

When a C-team is overvalued, that’s a red flag.

Confidence Index: 33%

Bottom-tier confidence rating.
This confirms bettors shouldn’t expect stability — volatility rules.

Sentiment: Neutral (8 Days)

No strong buy/sell signal. The market isn’t bullish or bearish — it’s undecided because Cincinnati hasn’t shown consistent direction.

🔍 2. PVI–SOS System Trends

Team-Specific Trend

CIN vs A-type teams on the road (off opponent SU win):
No sample → No specific edge.

League-Level Trend

When ANY C-type team is a road dog vs an A-team off a win:

• SU: 2–7
• ATS: 3–6
• O/U: 4–5

Translation:
C-teams struggle badly in this role.
This aligns perfectly with Cincinnati’s profile.

The Bengals have a mountain to climb anytime they step up in class.
