There may not be a better slate in terms of marquee matchups all regular season than NFL Week 9. But have any of those spreads seen big discrepancies in action between tickets and handle?
There are three contests where one team is getting the majority of the bets to cover while the other is receiving the majority of the money to do so π€. Letβs dive deeper into these fascinating splits.
Bills at Bengals
Line Movement: Opened Bengals -1, now Bengals -2
Spread Action: Bengals 54.4% tickets, Bills 66.3% handle
Bottom Line: After the Bengals started off at -1, they reached as high as -3 on Monday and Tuesday. The spread has been creeping down throughout the week, reaching as low as Bengals -1.5 earlier today before coming up slightly to -2.
Giants at Raiders
Line Movement: Opened Raiders -3, now Raiders -1.5
Spread Action: Raiders 55.4% tickets, Giants 67.1% handle
Bottom Line: Even with Daniel Jones slated to return under center, the Giants are still underdogs to a team that just cleaned house with its staff and gave its fourth-round rookie quarterback the starting nod π€£.
Chargers at Jets
Line Movement: Opened Chargers -4, now Chargers -3.5
Spread Action: Chargers 54.8% tickets, Jets 82.3% handle
Bottom Line: The Jets have pulled off outright upsets as home underdogs against the Bills and Eagles, and gave the Chiefs all they could handle as well. There’s been interesting action on this MNF total as well, with it dropping from 42.5 to 40.
