Ohio BetMGM bonus code ALBONUS: How to claim up to $1,000 in bonuses on Packers vs. Bengals

The Packers and Bengals had a rowdy practice together on Wednesday before meeting at Paycor Stadium Friday at 6 p.m. Cincinnati will be without quarterback Joe Burrow for a few weeks after the start quarterback suffered a calf injury at practice, while the Packers are now in the untested hands of Jordan Love.

BetMGM has proven time and time again to be the King of Sportsbooks, and this offer for new players is a winner. Opening a new account takes only a few minutes and some basic info:

BetMGM Ohio bonus code: Packers vs. Bengals odds, preview, and best BetMGM promotions

After coming three points – and a late hit out of bounds – away from taking down the Chiefs in the AFC Championship, the Bengals went heavy on defense in the NFL Draft, taking defensive backs with their first two picks.

The Bengals are a popular choice to win Super Bowl LVIII, fifth on the BetMGM futures bet board at +1100. The big question coming into the season now is the health of Burrow.

Green Bay is one of the biggest longshots on the BetMGM menu to win the Super Bowl at +6600, as experts feel losing Aaron Rodgers to the Jets is too much to overcome. The Packers also went heavy on defense in the draft, taking linebacker Quay Walker and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt in the first round.

As of Wednesday night, BetMGM had the Packers as 4.5-point favorites and -200 on the BetMGM moneyline. The over/under total is pegged at 35.5. This is the first time these two teams have played in the preseason since 2012.

We know NFL preseason isn’t as good as the regular season, but these ongoing promotions from BetMGM are good any time of year:

• Odds boosts: Enjoy enhanced odds on select markets.
• Edit My Bet: Featured wagers allow you to add, change, or cancel selections from your straight or parlay bets.
