Notable Line Movements

New York Giants -1 vs. Houston Texans

Team Opening Line Current Line Action
Texans -2.5 +1 57%
Giants +2.5 -1 43%

The sharps aren't buying what the Texans are selling. Even with better than half of all wagers coming in on Houston, the line has flipped around, with the Giants now a small favorite in most spots.

Detroit Lions -2.5 vs. Green Bay Packers

Team Opening Line Current Line Action
Packers +1 +2.5 71%
Lions -1 -2.5 29%

It's not surprising to see the public loading up on the Packers, but the sharps are leaning towards the other side, bumping the number up.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Carolina Panthers, total: 42
