    Cincinnati Bengals to take the top seed

    So I did bet at twelve to one. I've been at eleven oh one. I would keep taking it until it drops down to blow ten to one. I think it's a good value right now in this Bengals team.

    Philadelphia Eagles to take the top seed

    at plus eight hundred, that's that's a really good value. I much rather make that that that touched Seattle or the Rams... I just thought the Eagles, out of everyone that jumped out to me, they are the best odds.
