Notable Line Movements
Dallas Cowboys (-6.5) vs. Houston Texans
| Team | Opening Line | Current Line | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texans | +4 | +6.5 | 39% |
| Cowboys | -4 | -6.5 | 61% |
This may just be a case of oddsmakers getting the line wrong. Public money often follows the Cowboys, so it isn't surprising to see the number shift in their favor. Interestingly enough, some sharp money came in on Tuesday night as well.
Arizona Cardinals (+7.5) at Denver Broncos
| Team | Opening Line | Current Line | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cardinals | +8.5 | +7.5 | 46% |
| Broncos | -8.5 | -7.5 | 54% |
Even with the uncertain status of the Arizona quarterback situation, bettors have been happy to get behind the undefeated Cardinals, with sharp money bringing the line down.
Cincinnati Bengals (pk) at New England Patriots
| Team | Opening Line | Current Line | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bengals | +3 | pk | 70% |
| Patriots | -3 | pk | 30% |
The Bengals opened as three-point underdogs, and sharps jumped all over them at that number. The line came off the board with the Patriots playing on Monday and re-opened as a pick'em.
