Week 4 of the NFL season features the introduction of bye weeks, which means fewer games on the board, and an increased importance for bettors to put in their research so as to gain an edge on the books.

With little time remaining before the 1 p.m. ET kickoffs, here are some last-minute game day notes worth knowing.

Notable Line Movements

Chicago Bears +1.5 vs. Green Bay Packers

Team Opening Line Current Line Action
Green Bay +1 -1.5 75%
Chicago -1 +1.5 25%

The sharps and public are very much divided on this one. The wiseguys are backing the Bears, while a ton of action has come in on the Packers, who are always a favorite of the public.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers +7 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Team Opening Line Current Line Action
Tampa Bay +8 +7 27%
Pittsburgh -8 -7 73%

The Buccaneers haven't done right by bettors thus far this season, but it seems there's some sharp money on the team from Tampa Bay this week as the line has dropped by a full point in this game despite nearly two-thirds of all wagers coming in on the Steelers.

Oakland Raiders +4 vs. Miami Dolphins

Team Opening Line Current Line Action
Miami -3.5 -4 70%
Oakland +3.5 +4 30%

There hasn't been much action on this game, but the public has sided decisively with the Dolphins, while the small amount of sharp money to come in has been on the Raiders at plus-4.
