Bengals vs. Bills rematch drawing the most interest at BetMGM
It was just over two weeks ago that the highly anticipated Cincinnati Bengals vs. Buffalo Bills Monday Night Football game was canceled during the first quarter after Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest on the field.
All roads pointed to a playoff rematch once the dust settled on the NFL’s playoff picture, with the Bills earning the No. 2 seed and the Bengals No. 3. Both teams won their opening round games, setting up a rematch in Buffalo.
Hamlin, of course, has shown immense progress and is now out of the hospital and continuing his recovery at home.

Bengals offering best Super Bowl odds among contenders at DraftKings
Bettors continue to be tempted by the longest odds among the five most serious Super Bowl contenders.
At DraftKings Sportsbook Ohio, 10% of handle and 8% of bets are on the Bengals at +800 to win the Super Bowl. That’s nearly as much handle and bets as the 49ers and Chiefs, whose odds are +300 and +450, respectively.
2022-23 Super Bowl splits at DraftKings:
- Buffalo Bills +350 (15% handle, 16% bets)
- San Francisco 49ers +450 (11% handle, 8% bets)
- Kansas City Chiefs +300 (11% handle, 10% bets)
- Cincinnati Bengals +800 (10% handle, 8% bets)
- Philadelphia Eagles +500 (8% handle, 8% bets)
The Bengals will have to get past both Buffalo and the Kansas City Chiefs for a shot at the NFC’s winner. And the team lost starting left guard Jonah Williams to a knee injury against Baltimore, further depleting an already thin offensive line.
Still, Buffalo’s +350 odds to win it all are considerably shorter, even though they also have to overcome the No. 1 seed Chiefs, along with the Bengals, to get to the Super Bowl.
Since Saturday, the San Francisco 49ers have attracted the most Super Bowl bets at DraftKings, followed by the Bengals and Bills.
