The Cincinnati Bengals will not be the favored team in their second round playoff matchup against the Tennessee Titans on Saturday.

But the point spread remained close all week and never shifted. The Bengals opened as a 3.5 underdog last weekend once the playoff matchups were finalized when the Pittsburgh Steelers lot to the Kansas City Chiefs.

As of Saturday morning, that spread had not changed.

The Titans, the No.1 seed in the AFC playoffs after a 12-5 season, are the favorites according to Tipico. The betting site had the Titans -190 on the moneyline bet Saturday as Las Vegas experts agree that the Bengals-Titans game will be a close one despite this being the first division round game the Bengals have played since 1991.

Mattress Mack betting big on Bengals

According to the Action Network on Friday, Houston mattress salesman James "Mattress Mack" McIngvale bet $1.1 million on the Bengals.

Mattress Mack became famous for his bets on the Houston Astros over the years in the World Series. With the Bengals playing the team that used to call Houston home and was known as the Houston Oilers, Mattress Mack is all in on Cincinnati.

What is the over-under of the Bengals-Titans game?

Tipico has the over-under at 47.5 points.

The Bengals are -120 on betting the under of 21.5 points and -105 on the over of 21.5.
