Washington Commanders Chances to Win vs. Cincinnati Bengals
The Commanders have a 26.32% chance to beat the Bengals. Their chances are calculated using implied probability based on odds from DraftKings. Here is how it is calculated for each team using +280 odds for the Commanders and -355 odds for the Bengals:
Commanders chances: 100 ÷ (280 + 100) * 100 = 26.32%
Bengals chances: 355 ÷ (355 + 100) * 100 = 78.02%
However, the above percentages add up to 104.23%. This is due to the vig, which is the house edge for the sportsbook which allows them to profit off the bet. To remove the vig, we simply divide each team's chance by 104.23.
Commanders chances (after vig): 26.32 ÷ 104.23 = 25.25%
Bengals chances (after vig): 78.02 ÷ 104.23 = 74.85%
Note that both of the final team chances above finally equal 100%. Hence, the 24.92% chance to win for the Commanders.
How Washington Wins vs. Cincinnati
The Commanders will need to put together a strong performance to even have a chance at defeating the Bengals and quarterback Joe Burrow. The Commanders defense needs to put lots of pressure on Burrow while the offense will need to generate big plays to keep up with the dominant Cincy O. Pay attention to the Commanders' injury report as the game nears to make sure Washington's top contributors are planning on suiting up.
