BetMGM Bonus Preview: CIN vs. BAL & CLE vs. PIT
After the unprecedented week of football we just went through, our thoughts are still with Demar Hamlin. Thankfully, he has continued to recover from his injury, and we at FantasyLabs, along with everyone else, wish him all the best. As we shift our attention back to the NFL, Sunday’s Bengals game against the Ravens has huge playoff implications for each team. Here is what the game means to both teams:
- Cincinnati – Can’t clinch #1 seed, but can move up from #3 to #2 with a win AND a Buffalo loss to New England
- Baltimore – Can move up from #6 to #5 with a win AND a Los Angeles Chargers loss at Denver

As you can see, the Bengals and Ravens are both in the playoffs, but those playoff seeds are significant, and any chance to move up is going to motivate both teams to give it their best effort and try to win the game. Plus, it’s a divisional battle, which are always extra important. While we can’t predict how Cincinnati will play after experiencing such a traumatic event first-hand, we do expect this to be a close game, possibly much closer than the current 9-point spread favoring the Bengals.
Pittsburgh is also technically alive for a playoff berth. If they do get into the playoffs, Head Coach Mike Tomlin should automatically receive Coach of the Year honors for doing so much with such a young, inexperienced squad. Here is how Pittsburgh can get into the playoffs:
- Pittsburgh – Can clinch the #7 seed with a win vs. Cleveland AND a Miami loss to the Jets AND a New England loss to Buffalo
That’s a lot of ands. It’s still a long-shot for the Steelers to get in, but at least they have a chance. That chance will give them plenty to motivation to go out and beat the Browns, who had yet another dysfunctional and disappointing season and will be left out of the playoffs yet again. We don’t expect too much from the Browns on Sunday, so if you can stomach it as an Ohioan, taking the Steelers at -2.5 might be a good value pick.

Ok, so you might not want to take the Steelers on Sunday against the Browns. Understandable. There are plenty of other options available. You could bet the over on DeShawn Watson’s passing yards or passing TDs prop bets, or you could take Nick Chubb as an anytime TD scorer. The options are seemingly endless. Whichever first wager you take, you’re covered win or lose, up to $1000, with BetMGM’s great new customer promotion.
