Sunday Betting Update: Line moves, trends, weather reports
The 12th week of the NFL season presents some of the first weather concerns bettors will need to take note of this season, with one game having already changed venue and several others that will be impacted by harsh climates.
With little time remaining before the 1 p.m. ET kickoffs, here are some last-minute game-day notes.
Notable Line Movements
Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks, total: 41.5
| Team | Opening Total | Current Total | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cardinals | 42 ov | 41 ov | 33% |
| Seahawks | 42 un | 41 un | 67% |
- Not surprising to see the under seeing action give the Cardinals' stellar defensive play of late, and the difficulty they've had moving the football with Drew Stanton under center.
St. Louis Rams (+5) at San Diego Chargers
| Team | Opening Line | Current Line | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rams | +6 | +5 | 42% |
| Chargers | -6 | -5 | 58% |
- The Rams are better than their record indicates having played a ridiculously difficult schedule this season. Meanwhile, the Chargers struggled to get by the Raiders coming off their bye a week ago. The sharps are siding with the underdog.
Dallas Cowboys (-3.5) at New York Giants
| Team | Opening Line | Current Line | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cowboys | -3 | -3.5 | 74% |
| Giants | +3 | +3.5 | 26% |
- A healthy Tony Romo has the wiseguys back on the Cowboys' bandwagon. Tom Coughlin is also in danger of having his team quit on him down the stretch.

- The under is 6-0 in the Falcons' last six games, and it is 6-0 in the Browns' last six games.
