Dan Karpuc: Bengals +1.5
As I noted in the Best Bets article for this game, the Bengals have some awesome historical trends to point to in this particular matchup. Cincinnati has gone 9-0 ATS against teams that allow opposing quarterbacks to complete 61% or higher of their passes this season; 10-1 ATS against teams with a completion percentage of 61% or better; and 20-6 ATS against teams that average 235-plus passing yards per game under Zac Taylor. On a seven-game win (and cover) streak, the Bengals are on a roll and are getting hot at exactly the right time. I think the home-field advantage will come into play. Cincy is clearly the side I want to be on.

Kate Constable: Under 49.5
The narrative coming into this game is that both of these quarterbacks are elite and know how to put points on the board. While that’s certainly true, I think this total is a bit too high. If we look back to the Bengals Week 13 win over the Chiefs, the total in that game was set at 53 and finished under. I think the Bills and Chiefs are pretty comparable in style of play, which makes me believe we might see a lower-scoring game tonight as well. Take the under 49.5.

Matt Horner: Bills -1
I think we are getting a discount here on the Bills. Cincinnati has been playing with fire the last few weeks, and with the Bengals' injures starting to pile up, I think Buffalo should be a larger favorite. No La’el Collins for the Bengals is a huge blow to an already questionable offensive line. Also, 61% of moneyline bets are on the underdog Bengals, and public 'dogs aren't very exciting to me.

Brad Pinkerton: BetMGM NFL OGP Insurance Play of the Day
If you're not playing BetMGM's NFL OGP Insurance promo yet, make today the first day! Opt in to the promo and place a four-leg (minimum) NFL one-game parlay; if your OGP loses by one leg, you'll get your stake back in a free bet up to $25 -- and you can take advantage of this promo once every day there's an NFL game!
I'm taking a different approach for our final MNF game of the season. One of my favorite strategies for this OGP promo is building around a plus-money prop (usually a TD) with three relatively easy legs to increase our odds of getting insurance if the "long" leg doesn't hit. BetMGM has a great price on a Josh Allen anytime TD at +190 (as short as +132 at other books), so I'll build around Allen (Joe Mixon TD at +100 is also a good choice, albeit with a lower payout); and if Allen doesn't score, I'll likely get my stake back as a free bet.
Josh Allen Anytime TD
Bills 1H Team Total Over 2.5
Bengals 1H Team Total Over 2.5
Each Team Over 0.5 TD
OGP odds: +190
