NFL Week 1: Joe Burrow's potential start draws bettors to Bengals-Browns

We have already seen this week that an injury to a major player can impact the betting lines ahead of Week 1 NFL matchups, i.e. Travis Kelce. So how does a big-name player impact the appeal of betting on a certain game?

Enter Joe Burrow, the Cincinnati Bengals QB1 who sustained a calf injury during training camp this summer. 

Burrow's status for Cincinnati's Week 1 matchup against the Cleveland Browns has been up in the air, which has made the Bengals very narrow favorites to win the Battle of Ohio. But since Burrow returned to practice last week, interest in Sunday's game has boomed. According to John Ewing of BetMGM, the Bengals-Browns bout is now one of the most wagered-on Week 1 matchups ahead of the first weekend of the season.
