Fun moneyline bet on Cleveland Browns
Although the season is probably not what fans expected, the Cleveland Browns face a Washington Commanders team looking for answers at quarterback.
Over at DraftKings Sportsbook Ohio, the Browns +110 is a sneaky moneyline bet, considering their talent outweighs Washington on paper.
DraftKings has released an Ohio pre-launch offer worth $200 in bet credits.
Over/under bet for Cincinnati Bengals vs. Buffalo Bills
The Cincinnati Bengals have won seven in a row and are looking to make it eight when the Buffalo Bills come to town. The over/under is 49.5, which is believable when you factor in each team’s high-powered offense.
Will there be a shootout in Cincinnati on Sunday? Who knows, but that would be the more favorable outcome for viewers and over bettors alike.
No Peach Bowl betting options in Ohio
Unfortunately, fans wishing to bet on the Ohio State Buckeyes were out of luck. Ohio sports betting kicked off a few hours after the 2022 Peach Bowl, in which Ohio State fell to Georgia, 42-41.
If college football is your fix, the Purdue Boilermakers (8-5) take on the 17th-ranked LSU Tigers (9-4) in the Citrus Bowl on Jan. 2. LSU is a heavy favorite at -14.5, but Purdue could stick around and cover this with more than two touchdowns to work with.

Another sneaky alternative would be to check out the point spread on Jan. 2 when the Chicago Bulls venture to Cleveland to face the 22-14 Cavaliers. Though they have lost three straight, the Cavs are off to a hot start this season and still sit in fourth place in the Eastern Conference. Donovan Mitchell leads the team in scoring at 28.4 points per game while shooting 48.8% from three-point range.
The Cavaliers could use a win, and the home matchup on Jan. 2 is a good spot to give up the points against the 10th-place Bulls.
Regulators approved 16 online sportsbooks and 12 retail sportsbooks for the state’s universal start date on January 1, 2023. More are on the way, along with 771 local businesses adding sports betting self-service kiosks.
