The battle will be impressive, as all the teams fighting for the last five spots will leave it all on the field. It’s not only important to win, as they’ve also got to wait for the results of other games to know whether or not they will be part of Wildcard Weekend. For this reason, we will have a weekend full of action and excitement from start to finish that you can follow on Gambyl.
One of the best games we will have on this last day of the regular season will be between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns.

Why Bet on the Bengals?
The Bengals had a season full of ups and downs that ended with their elimination after losing their last two games. After being protagonists in recent NFL campaigns, the Bengals are out of the postseason party and will have to start preparing for the next campaign, watching the playoffs from home.
The Bengals lost starting quarterback Joe Burrow to a season-ending wrist injury. However, Browning surprised everyone by coming in as a backup, and the team won three straight games to get back into the postseason race. They eventually lost back-to-back games to the Chiefs and Steelers to finish in the division basement.
The reality is that, with nothing to play for in this final game of the regular season, the Bengals could rest their starters and take this game as if it were a preseason game.
Cincinnati is coming off a 17-25 loss to the Chiefs, in a game where they started very well thanks to Browning’s precise offense, but Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs annihilated them in the second half of the game, preventing them from scoring a single point in two quarters.
Why Bet on the Browns?
On the other hand, we have the Cleveland Browns, one of the teams that secured their presence in the postseason thanks to their 37-20 victory over the Jets last week. In that game, Joe Flacco was a hero, as he had 19/29 pass completions for 309 yards and three touchdowns.
However, with the playoffs in the bag and the Bengals eliminated, for the final regular season game Joe Flacco could rest, Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday.
Last Thursday, the Browns defeated the New York Jets to secure their third trip to the postseason since 1999. Likewise, it’s fair to mention that they had a slim chance to win the AFC North heading into the weekend, but all the dreams came crashing down when the Baltimore Ravens pummeled the Miami Dolphins 56-19.
It makes perfect sense that Stefanski decided to rest a lot of starters in this game, as it means nothing to either team.
