The Cincinnati Bengals kept their slim playoff chances alive, albeit on life support, by defeating the struggling Tennessee Titans on Sunday in Nashville, improving their record to 6-8 with just three games remaining.

The Bengals need to win and finish the season with a 9-8 record, and they will also need help from the Colts, Dolphins and Broncos.

The Colts and Dolphins lost in Week 15, which helped the Bengals, but the Broncos won (they beat the Colts).

Now the Bengals have a +30,000 chance of winning the Super Bowl, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, which is actually worse than the week before despite winning two straight. However, they are the team with the seventh-best chance of winning the final game of the season.

The Bengals still have the Browns, Broncos and Steelers on the schedule.
