Spread tickets indicate public money. Spread handle reflects sharp action. Let’s dive in:
1. Texans (+5) @ Giants
Pros: Texans 76% handle
Joes: Giants 62% tickets
Rationale: The Joes expect Saquon Barkley to go berserk on one of the league’s worst defenses, but the sharps note that even when the Giants win, it’s rarely by 5+ points.
2. Broncos (+2.5) @ Titans
Pros: Broncos 77% handle
Joes: Titans 63% tickets
Rationale: The big bettors think the rested Broncos have the horses to contain Derrick Henry. The Joes ain’t buying Russell Wilson.
3. Browns (+3.5) @ Dolphins
Pros: Browns 53% handle
Joes: Dolphins 62% tickets
Rationale: The Joes are blinded by Miami’s video game️ offense, while the Pros are troubled by Miami’s pitiful ‘D.’
