CINCINNATI — Sports Illustrated's NFL writers picked which teams will win a Super Bowl over the next five NFL seasons and the Bengals were picked to win it twice across the panel.

Albert Breer and John Pluym each had Cincinnati coming out on top in the 2025 season.

"I was afraid of going chalk here, so I wanted to go back and look at the past five years to try to inform where I’d go with my picks," Breer wrote. "And those five were, as Mitch laid out above, the Chiefs three times, the Rams and Buccaneers. The only pick in that group that wouldn’t have been considered chalk back in 2019 would’ve been Tampa, and probably because nobody could’ve forecast then that they’d end up with Tom Brady. 

"So with that in mind, I figured I’d go chalk on four of the five and throw my curveball with the Los Angeles Chargers, just because I think Jim Harbaugh is going to find his way back to the NFL’s big stage, armed with one of the game’s most gifted quarterbacks in Justin Herbert. As for the other three, this would give the Chiefs five rings over Patrick Mahomes’sfirst 12 years as a pro, and I’d guess the San Francisco 49ers and Cincinnati Bengals will both get over the hump in the next few years. If you want me to put those in order, I’d go Niners, Chiefs, Bengals, Chargers, Chiefs."

Cincinnati fans would be ecstatic to win a Super Bowl at any point, especially as soon as February 2026. With Joe Burrow healthy, they are always in the mix.
