Timmy the Greek here with some last minute recommendations for betting tonight's AFC divisional playoff game between the Bengals and the Raiders.
Listen, I have top secret inside information that only has been revealed to me. And with that information, I promise you, take your 401K, your savings, your children's college fund, your grandmother's house and run, not walk, but run and place the following bet:
Raiders by 13.5
What is this based on besides my own secret sauce?
The Raiders are 5-3 at home. The Bengals are 5-3 on the road. The Raiders are 8-4 against the AFC. The Bengals are 8-4 against the AFC.
In their week 14 matchup at Cincy, the Raiders jumped out to a 24-9 halftime lead which got up to 31-9 before the Bengals clawed back to make it 37-30.
Common opponents: Browns: Raiders are 0-1, Bengals are 1-1 Ravens: Raiders are 1-0, Bengals are 1-1 Steelers: Raiders are 1-0, Bengals are 1-1 Chiefs: Raiders are 1-1, Bengals are 1-0 Broncos: Raiders are 1-1, Bengals are 1-0 Chargers: Raiders are 2-0, Bengals are 1-0
Last 5 games: Raiders: 2-3 Bengals: 3-2
By now it must be perfectly clear why I am picking the Raiders. Because they are the home team!
So call MGM bookies, ask for the Timmy AFC special and get out the checkbooks.
Timmy out!
