2024 NFL Odds: Back Bengals miss playoffs; MVP wait at stake


Another week is in the books. And as always, nfl Fans were left wondering, “What exactly?” to do “What do we know about this game?”

For the third week in a row, the week’s biggest underdog wins the game outright Bengal lost to commanders as a 7.5-point favorite on Monday night.

However, none of the bets appealed to me.

Allen’s chances seem slim for a season in which a lot can and will happen between now and the beginning of January, when the regular season ends.

Rodgers looked like a player who has already won some of these awards, as he was impressive against a tough Patriots defense on Thursday night last week.

But it’s a long season and there’s no need to force anything — even though I think Rodgers’ move is very interesting.

With all this in mind, let’s look at what I actually like to bet on.
