Finding Value on AFC Divisional Round Bets

Welcome back to cheddar brats brought to you by bet mgm We've picked our games in the NFC and now it's time to turn our attention to the A. F. C. Where some of the biggest matchups are still on deck joining us now Shawn Green, co founder of sports gambling podcast network sean. What's your read on betting the two teams with a first round bye? Do you think the extra rest and preparation will help or are you worried about potential rust, disrupting the rhythm? Well I I think especially with Tennessee I think the rest helps him. If you look at Mike Vrabel as a head coach he's gonna eight and uh oh with extra rest and the extra rest besides you know the coaching advantage or you know Vrabel being hot coming off extra rest they get Derrick Henry back and they get him you know one more extra week to prepare to unleash Derrick Henry on the Cincinnati. Bengals. So I think for the titans 100% I think the rest helped them well focusing on the A. F. C. Now the Bengals and the titans kickoff at the divisional round with Cincinnati going to Music city as 3.5 point underdogs. Can the Bengals upset the top seeded titans? Yeah I I certainly think they have a chance. I mean if the Bengals are gonna pull out the upset. I think it's gonna be through the air with joe burrow taking advantage of the Tennessee secondary but I'm I'm leaning Tennessee I like Tennessee minus 3.5 I think they're able to generate a pass rush with just those four guys and again getting Derrick Henry back I think will be huge. And Cincinnati, to me, it felt like they kind of won their Super Bowl Last week, right? They hadn't won a playoff game in 30 plus years, you know, there was that stat that no one had ever sent a text message that the Cincinnati Bengals had won a playoff game. So they got those text messages out of the way. I feel like their season is already a success uh for the Bengals, but Tennessee, they're just getting started. You're absolutely right by the way, I love those random stats about how long it's been just proving the point even more. We love to hear it. So the total in that matchup is the lowest of any game this weekend set at 47.5 will the over hit. Yeah, I'm definitely leaning over there as well. Like I kind of mentioned, I think Cincinnati will be able to throw the ball on, on, on Tennessee and I, and I think Tennessee is going to be able to run the ball, you know, AJ Brown has had some really big games as well in the air. So I, I think this is actually going to be fairly high scoring. So I like the over again, it is the lowest total. So I like that as well. The last game of the weekend is also pretty much the biggest josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes meat coming off of historic performances in their previous round. The Chiefs are favored by 1.5 at home. And that line has been moving closer towards the Bills all week. What's the best bet here? Best bet Bill's money line. Let's go. I'm with you, Hannah. Yes. Uh, you know the Bills were my preseason pick to win the Super Bowl. I'm not gonna get off them now. They just looked completely dialed in and going back to josh Allen, A reporter asked him what he wanted for christmas, uh, during the christmas week game against the patriots and he said execution because you just dialed in this. This Bills offense keeps getting better. The emergence of devin Singletary I think is a real handful and you look at it. The Buffalo Bills quietly have one of the best defenses in the league. Number one in defensive D. V. O. A. It's certainly going to be tough to go in and upset Kansas City in Kansas city. But I think this is the Bills year and and they, they seem the most focused out of all these teams like music to my ears. That answer, I love to hear it. So lastly we noted the explosive offenses of the two teams and Vegas has of course done this to the total lies at 53 a half. Which way do you think it's going to fall well when in doubt fade the public, Right? Everyone's looking at this game going, oh, it's gonna be a crazy shootout, There's gonna be so much scoring. Wait until kickoff as the general public and everyone fires up their bed. MgM app gets in on the over and then that's when you sneak in and grab the under. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets up to, You know, as high as like 55 Uh 56 even there's a lot of value on the under there. So anytime there's like a prime time game like this where everyone's on the over, I'm gonna feed the public and take the under. I feel like this show has just slowly become me talking about the buffalo bills and how much I love them. So thank you for also, you know, being a part of that with me, I'm not the only one carrying the torch. Sean, thank you. That was Shawn Green, co founder of the sports gambling podcast network.
