Brad Pinkerton: BetMGM NFL OGP Insurance Play of the Day
If you're not playing BetMGM's NFL OGP Insurance promo yet, consider this the first day of the rest of your bank-roll building life! Opt in to the promo and place a four-leg (minimum) one-game parlay on any NFL game; 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!
Here is my play for Sunday, using the strategy of going over the lowest game total and under the highest game total (can only lose a maximum of one leg there), and taking the most points on both teams' alt lines (can only lose one leg here too); you can apply this strategy to any football game:
MIA-BUF Over 33.5
MIA-BUF Under 53.5
Dolphins +23.5
Bills ML
OGP Odds: +170
Join BetMGM to start taking advantage of their daily OGP insurance promos across NFL, NBA, NHL and college football, too! New BetMGM customers also get a risk-free first bet up to $1,000 using the offer below!

Dan Karpuc: Giants +3 at Vikings
The Vikings are frauds and are going to show it on Sunday. Despite their 13-4 record, they had a negative point differential in the regular season and have two glaring issues that will be evident. First, their defense is awful. Their 388.7 yards per game allowed ranked second worst in the entire NFL and their 25.1 points per game allowed ranked third worst. Secondly, they can’t protect Kirk Cousins. The Vikings’ offensive line allowed 86 quarterback hits (most in the NFL by 14) and 168 pressures (second most). While Justin Jefferson is obviously amazing, I’m giving the G-Men the advantage in this matchup. Under Brian Daboll, the Giants have gone 10-2 ATS as an underdog and I expect them to not only cover, but win outright. For more safety, I’ll back them at +3, but I’ll have some on their moneyline as well.

Kate Constable: Bengals over 2.5 Touchdowns
The Bengals are one of the hottest teams in the league heading into the playoffs. They’ve won eight straight games and have beat some good teams in that span. Facing a Ravens team for the second week in a row, this game could get ugly. The Bengals offensive line is healthy and should give Joe Burrow plenty of time to do whatever he wants with the football. Burrow has thrown at least two touchdowns in four of his last five games, and the team has scored at least three touchdowns in seven of their last eight games. I’d take Cincinnati’s touchdown total on Sunday over 2.5. However, that number is a bit juiced, so if you can get an alternate line of 3 or even 3.5, I think there is value in taking that.

Lucy Burdge: Bengals -8.5 vs. Ravens
The Bengals finished the regular season on an absolute tear, winning their last eight games and covering in seven of those. Meanwhile, the Ravens only covered in three of their last eight games. And when the Bengals and Ravens faced off to finish the regular season, the Bengals won at home, 27-16, as 11.5-point favorites. So I think the Bengals can cover this spread against the Ravens once again.
