Sunday Betting Update: Line moves, trends, weather reports
The Week 6 slate was a heart-wrencher for bettors with a slew of winning sides flip-flopping in the closing moments of games. The Week 7 slate features a number of games with lines right on key numbers, so it could be more of the same on Sunday.
With little time remaining before the 1 p.m. ET kickoffs, here are some last-minute game-day notes.
Notable Line Movements
St. Louis Rams (+6) vs. Seattle Seahawks
| Team | Opening Line | Current Line | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seahawks | -6.5 | -6 | 82% |
| Rams | +6.5 | +6 | 18% |
The sharps seem to be on the Rams once again despite getting let down on Monday night. Despite better than four-fifths of all wagers coming in on the Seahawks, the line has actually dropped a half-point.
Washington Redskins (-5.5) vs. Tennessee Titans
| Team | Opening Line | Current Line | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titans | +4 | +5.5 | 39% |
| Redskins | -4 | -5.5 | 61% |
The sharps have been on both sides of this game. The public isn't exactly eager to get behind Charlie Whitehurst, and the line would surely fall a point or two if Jake Locker were to be announced as the starter.
San Diego Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs, total: 45
| Team | Opening Total | Current Total | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chiefs | 46.5 ov | 45 ov | 91% |
| Chargers | 46.5 un | 45 un | 9% |
There often isn't enough money in on totals during the week to see much line movement, but this number has dropped despite the majority of the action coming in on the over.
