Bet $5, Get $158 BetMGM bonus code PLAYNJSPORTS for NFL Wild Card Weekend: Cleveland vs. Houston game odds

Catena Media provides exclusive sports betting and casino content to NJ.com, including picks, analysis, tools and sportsbook offers to help bettors get in on the action. Please wager responsibly.

The new BetMGM welcome bonus, which you can access via BetMGM bonus code PLAYNJSPORTS, offers $158 in bonus bets when you sign up before the Browns vs. Texans Wild Card game and place an opening wager of at least $5.

The Browns are 4-1 with Joe Flacco behind center. His wily experience has stabilized a Browns’ offense that is averaging over 29 points per game with the former Super Bowl winner at the helm. While Cleveland’s elite defense gives it a chance in any contest, Flacco’s presence substantially increases their likelihood of advancing to the divisional round.

The Texans, led by rookie dynamo CJ Stroud, won the AFC South thanks to a Week 18 victory over the Colts. Houston lost to Cleveland in Week 16 but was without Stroud, who’ll be chomping at the bit to start his first postseason game.

The Browns are slight road favorites entering Saturday’s contest.
