Where the action is: Sunday's biggest Week 13 NFL line moves
Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans - Open: -7, Move: -6, Move: -7
The Houston Texans will be trying to keep pace in the AFC South and face as near a "must win" as you can get. They're two games back in the division and the Wild Card but face a Titans team that is mired in a five-game losing skid.
"We opened the Teans as 7-point faves at the start of the week, and took some sharp action on the Titans as 7-point underdogs that forced us to go to Texans -6," Stewart tells Covers. "On Thursday we started to see the public money come in on the home favorite Texans forcing us back to Texans -7 where we currently sit with 59 percent of the action on the Texans to cover."
San Diego Chargers at Baltimore Ravens - Open: -5.5, Move: -6
These two AFC squads will be jockeying for playoff positioning at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore Sunday. Heading into this one, the Chargers hold the final Wild Card spot over the Ravens based on winning percentage in conference games.
"We opened the Ravens as 5.5-point home faves," Stewart says. "We have seen good two-way action on this game but took some sharp action on the Ravens moving us to Ravens -6 where we currently sit with 57 percent of the action on the Ravens to cover."
Arizona Cardinals at Atlanta Falcons - Open: +1.5, Move: +2, Move: +2.5
The Cardinals are in the driver's seat in the NFC West and will look to strengthen their grasp in Atlanta Sunday. Their six game SU and ATS winning streak came a halt at Seattle in Week 12, so a strong showing is vital for the Cards.
"The Falcons ar 4-7 and in first place in the NFC South hosting the first-place Cardinals who are coming off a tough loss in Seattle," Stewart said. "We opened the Cards as 1.5-point favs on the road. We have been seeing nothing but action on the Cardinals moving them to -2 then eventually -2.5 where we are currently sitting. I could see us going got Cards -3 at some point as we 75 percent of the Cardinals to cover."
New England Patriots at Green Bay Packers - Open: -3
The centerpiece of the Sunday schedule could certainly be a Super Bowl preview with the way the Patriots and Packers are playing. The Pats head in riding a seven-game winning streak (6-1 ATS) and the Pack are enjoying a three-game streak (2-1 ATS) but have put up W's in seven of eight. Something has to give Sunday.
"Big game here as this could be a preview of the Super Bowl where we have this matchup as a +400 favorite for our possible Super Bowl matchup future," Stewart points out. "We opened the Packers as 3-point favorites at home but have seen nothing but action come in on the Patriots as 3-point underdogs. We are reluctant to move off that number as we believe that we will start to see Packer action come in as we get closer to game time. As we sit right now we have 76 percent of the action on the Patriots to cover the 3-point spread."
Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs - Open: +1, Move: +2, Move: +1.5
The Sunday nighter showcases an AFC West rivalry with the Broncos and Chiefs meeting up at Arrowhead. The Broncos hold a one-game lead over the Chiefs and have won five straight meetings between the two (3-2 ATS).
"We opened the Broncos as 1-point road faves in Arrowhead and have seen nothing but Broncos action moving us to 1.5 and eventually 2," Stewart said. "We did take a few sharp bets that we respect so we went back to Broncos -1.5 where we currently sit with 81 percent of the action on the Broncos to cover. "
