BetMGM Louisiana Sportsbook

• NFL Conference Championship offer:Bet $10 on the Bengals, Win $220 if Joe Burrow Throws for 22+ Yards!

Everyone knows of the MGM brand, and they've been in the gambling world for years and years, most notably with their casino on the strip in Las Vegas. They've moved beyond the Nevada borders into 10-plus states with online sports betting, and as of this morning they're also live in Louisiana. With some of the best odds and promos in the game, they're a no-brainer add.

This is definitely the best event-based promotion in Louisiana for the weekend, and it's incredibly easy to take advantage of: Just sign up, deposit, and bet $10 on the Bengals moneyline today (or any team technically). That's all you have to do: As long as the QB of the team you bet on (Burrow if you're taking the Bengals) throws for 22 or more yards, you'll get $220 after the end of the game.

FanDuel Louisiana Sportsbook

• NFL weekend special:Bet $5 on any NFL moneyline, get $150 if your team wins!

FanDuel, like DraftKings, was originally launched as a daily fantasy sports (DFS) operator over a decade ago. Once PASPA was overturned in 2018, however, they decided to get into the sports betting and online casino game. They're now in pretty much every state that allows online sports betting, the latest of which is the Pelican State as of this morning.

This offer from FanDuel is pretty juicy as well, considering you can get any NFL team today at 30/1 odds on the moneyline. The best "value" is technically on the Chiefs as the biggest favorites of the day, but many in Louisiana will likely want to bet on Burrow and the Bengals. No worries: This 30/1 ML offer will still provide plenty of value if you want to go that route.
