    Titans (-6) vs. Bears, 24-17
    Falcons (-4.5) vs. Broncos, 34-27
    Vikings (-3) vs. Lions, 34-20

    The Biggest Disappointment of the Week

    The Houston Texans-Jacksonville Jaguars AFC South battle was a high-scoring affair in the first half, with the Texans leading 20-16 at halftime. Then, someone twisted the offensive spigot down to a slow drip in the third quarter, and then it was nearly off completely for most of the fourth quarter.

    The score was 27-19 thanks to a PK Josh Lambo 30-yard field goal with 1:11 to go in the third quarter, as 'under' (49) bettors were hanging on by a thread. But as the fourth quarter went along, under bettors were starting to feel very good. And those laying the seven with Houston were also feeling increasingly well.

    QB Jake Luton was making his first NFL start, and he did a decent enough job. In fact, the Jaguars actually had 22 first downs to 19 for the Texans, and they also edged Houston in rushing yards (115 to 107) and passing yards (297 to 267). Statistically, it was a very, very even game, and the turnover battle was 1-1, too.

    The game probably should have finished the way it did, with the Jaguars falling 27-25. However, bettors on the line, as well as the total, saw a late change to the result. Luton had a 13-yard scoring scamper with 90 seconds remaining in regulation, changing the line late from a Texas cover, to a Jaguars cover, and that late score also flipped the total from an under to an over.

    The Biggest Disappointment of the Week - Part II

    The New York Giants-Washington Football Team (43) game, the second installment of this rivalry in 2020, went to the visitors by a 23-20 score. The game was on pace for an 'over' result with 23 total points on the board at halftime. After a so-so third quarter, giving us 33 points after 45 minutes, 'over' bettors were still on pace.

    Things got crazy in the fourth quarter, as PK Dustin Hopkins opened the scoring just four seconds into the final stanza to slice the lead of the G-Men to 23-13. About four and a half minutes later Washington got the ball back, and backup QB Alex Smith, who entered for the injured QB Kyle Allen, struck for a 68-yard touchdown to WR Terry McLaurin. Not only were Washington moneyline bettors feeling much better about their prospects with just over 10 minutes to go, 'over' bettors were feeling very good, too. Unfortunately for everyone, that's where the scoring ended, and most total bettors had to settle for an unsatisfying push. At least that's how the game closed, so that's what we'll call it. If you bet the 'over' earlier in the week when the total was 41.5, 42 or 42.5, congrats.

    Total Recall

    The lowest totals on the board for the Sunday slate were the Baltimore Ravens-Indianapolis Colts (43) game, and the 'over' was never threatened

    Well, we did get off to a quick start with a 7-7 score on the board after 15 minutes, but the nerves of 'under' bettors were quelled with just a field goal by PK Rodrigo Blankenship in the second quarter, and a lone RB Gus Edwards touchdown in the third. After 45 minutes we had just 24 total points on the board, and we didn't get our final score, 24-10, until PK Justin Tucker booted a 48-yard field goal with 2:08 to go. If only all wagers could go that easily.

    The highest number on the board was the Seattle Seahawks-Buffalo Bills (55) battle, and that game certainly thrilled 'over' bettors and those who indulge in fantasy football, too. It was a end-to-end action with at least 13 total points in every single quarter. The home 'dog Bills fired out to a 14-0 lead, and they seemed to be able to keep the Seahawks at arm's length all day. After exchanging 10's in the second quarter, we had a 24-10 score at halftime, more than halfway to the 'over'. The lowest scoring quarter was the third, with 'just' 13 points, but a flurry of late activity gave us the highest scoring game of the weekend with 78 total points.

    In the first two primetime games of Week 9, the over/under went 1-1. A late flurry by the San Francisco 49ers in the fourth quarter helped them push the total (48.5) over the finish line, falling 34-17 to the Green Bay Packers. The Sunday night battle between future Hall of Famers Tom Brady and Drew Brees saw 31 points on the board by halftime, all on the ledger of the Saints. A scoreless third quarter killed 'over' bettors, and we saw just 10 total points in the fourth. The Monday night battle with the New England Patriots-New York Jets (41) is pending, and featured the lowest line of Week 9.

    So far this season the under is 19-9 (67.9%) across 28 primetime games. In 2019, the 'under' went 31-17-1 (64.6%) during primetime games.

    Looking Ahead to Week 10

    Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans (Thursday, 8:20 p.m. ET)

    The Colts will be itching to get back onto the field after a disappointing 24-10 loss at home to Baltimore in Week 9. After two straight weeks with three touchdown throws, QB Philip Rivers was blanked and the Colts posted their lowest scoring total of the season. They have had a great time of it over the years against the Titans, especially against the number. Indy is 6-2 ATS in the past eight meetings in Nashville, and 13-4 ATS in the past 17 in this series overall. The road team has covered four of the past five overall. The Titans ended up posting a 24-17 win over the Bears at home in Week 9, just covering a 6.5-point number as the 'under' connected. It was the first under for Tennessee since Week 1, as the 'over' was 5-0-1 in the previous six.

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers (Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET)
    The Buccaneers will be an angry bunch after getting manhandled by the rival New Orleans Saints on Sunday Night Football, in their home building no less, 38-3. The team's previous offensive low was 19 points, a one-point loss in Chicago. They'll look to bounce back against Carolina just like the last time they were dropped by the Saints. In Week 1, Tampa lost 34-23 at NOLA, before rebounding against the Panthers 31-17 at home as 7.5-point favorites. The Panthers lost its fourth straight game in Kansas City on Sunday, 33-31, but they covered a 10-point number. They also welcomed back RB Christian McCaffrey (ankle) for the first time since he was injured in Week 2 against, yep, Tampa. While Carolina is on an 0-4 SU run, they are 2-2 ATS during the span, and all four losses are one-score games. In fact, seven of Carolina's nine results are one-score games, with the Panthers going 2-5 SU.

    Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders (Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET)
    The Broncos were bounced in Atlanta, falling 34-27 to the Falcons. A late 21-point flurry for the Broncos helped push the total 'over', and they nearly came all the way back to cover. Denver hasn't lost consecutive games since opening 0-3 SU. The 'over' has cashed in three in a row for QB Drew Lock and the Broncos, and they're averaging 29.0 PPG across the past two. The Raiders won 31-26 on the road against the Chargers, and they have won and covered in back-to-back games for the first time since Week 1-2. They also posted an 'over' result after their first 'under' of 2020, and the over is now 6-1-1 overall. The Raiders will hope they brought the dominance over the Broncos with them to Vegas. The silver and black are 4-0 ATS in the past four home games against the Broncos, and 5-0 ATS In the previous five meetings overall. The home team is also 6-2 ATS in the past eight in this series, with the 'under' hitting in each of the past seven meetings.

    Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears (Monday, 8:15 p.m. ET)
    Vikings RB Dalvin Cook ran roughshod over the Lions in Week 9, rolling up his first 200-yard game in the NFL. It helped Minnesota win in back-to-back game for the first time this season, and they improved to 5-1 ATS across the past six. The 'over' is also 3-0 in a season high three in a row, while going 5-1 in the past six overall. The Bears offense was flat again, falling 24-17 in Nashville against the Titans. After opening the season 5-1 SU/4-2 ATS, the Bears have dropped three in a row while going just 1-2 ATS. They're averaging a dismal 16.7 PPG in the three games, too, while allowing 24.7 PPG. The 'under' is on a 5-1 run for Chicago, too. We'll see if QB Kirk Cousins can finally get over the hump on Monday Night Football. He enters this one with an 0-9 record on Mondays posting 11 touchdowns and six interceptions in those games.

      NFL odds Week 10: Opening lines, sharp money & line movement
      Patrick Everson

      Kyler Murray and the Cardinals beat Seattle in Week 7, had a Week 8 bye, then got upset at home by Miami. The SuperBook opened Arizona -1.5 against Buffalo and quickly moved to -1 Sunday evening.

      NFL Week 9 is all but wrapped up, with NFL Week 10 odds on the betting board and already getting some action. Among the noteworthy games, the Buffalo Bills visit the Arizona Cardinals, and the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams meet in an NFC West clash.

      The SuperBook at Westgate's John Murray provided insights on NFL Week 10 opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting. Covers will update this report with NFL sharp picks vs. public bets and line movement throughout the week.

      Teams on bye: Kansas City Chiefs, Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys, New York Jets

      Colts at Titans Odds
      Opening line
      Titans -2, Over/Under TBA

      Why the line moved
      Tennessee looks to put a little daylight between itself and Indianapolis in this AFC South clash Thursday night. The SuperBook opened the Titans -2 and got to -2.5 in short order.

      "Philip Rivers was awful today, but we don't want to overreact too much," Murray said Sunday night, alluding to the Colts QB's lousy performance in a 24-10 home loss to Baltimore. "The Colts really should've been up by more at halftime in that game, and we still trust their defense. I'll never understand what the officials saw on that Marcus Peters interception. That was a real turning point in the game."

      Bengals at Steelers Odds
      Opening line
      Steelers -9.5, Over/Under TBA

      Why the line moved
      Pittsburgh overcame a couple of scares Sunday, one from Dallas and one from star QB Ben Roethlisberger's knee, to get a 24-19 victory over the upstart and undermanned Cowboys. So the Steelers remain the league's only unbeaten team, at 8-0 SU (6-2 ATS). The SuperBook opened Pittsburgh -9.5 and stuck there through Sunday night. Cincinnati is coming off its bye week.

      Washington at Lions Odds
      Opening line

      OFF, Over/Under OFF
      Why the line moved
      Detroit QB Matthew Stafford was in concussion protocol after Sunday's 34-20 loss at Minnesota, prompting The SuperBook to keep this game off the board until there's more clarity on the situation. Washington has its own QB issues after Kyle Allen suffered a dislocated ankle in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the New York Giants, putting Alex Smith back under center.

      Texans at Browns Odds
      Opening line
      Browns -1.5, Over/Under TBA

      Why the line moved
      Houston eked out a win at Jacksonville in Week 9, while Cleveland had a bye. The SuperBook opened the Browns -1.5 and moved to -2.5 within an hour.

      "The Browns have to win games like this if they want to make the playoffs," Murray said. "Baker Mayfield went into COVID protocol today. That's something to monitor, but we expect him to play Sunday. We think Houston is much better than their 2-6 record, and this line shows it."

      Jaguars at Packers Odds
      Opening line
      Packers -13.5, Over/Under TBA

      Why the line moved
      Green Bay is on a mini-bye, having played and rolled in the Week 9 Thursday nighter, a 34-17 victory at San Francisco. Jacksonville, meanwhile, fell just short at home to Houston, 27-25. The Packers opened -13.5 at The SuperBook, and the line was stable Sunday night.

      Eagles at Giants Odds
      Opening line
      Giants +3, Over/Under TBA

      Why the line moved
      New York held on for a 23-20 win at Washington on Sunday, while Philadelphia had a Week 9 bye in the dreadful NFC East. The Eagles opened as 3-point road favorites at The SuperBook, and there was no line movement Sunday.

      Buccaneers at Panthers Odds
      Opening line
      Panthers +4.5, Over/Under TBA

      Why the line moved
      Tampa Bay got smacked by New Orleans 38-3 in the Sunday nighter. Meanwhile, Carolina gave defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City all it could handle, though the Panthers fell just short 33-31. The SuperBook opened the Bucs -4.5, and per standard operating procedure, pulled this game off the board during the Saints-Bucs contest. The game will go back up Monday morning, perhaps at a slightly lower number after Tampa's dismal performance.

      Broncos at Raiders Odds
      Opening line
      Raiders -4, Over/Under TBA

      Why the line moved
      Las Vegas held on for a 31-26 win at the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, while Denver lost to Atlanta 34-27. This line stuck at Raiders -4 through Sunday night at The SuperBook.

      Bills at Cardinals Odds
      Opening line
      Cardinals -1.5, Over/Under TBA

      Why the line moved
      Buffalo got a statement win over Seattle on Sunday, 44-34 at home. Arizona was dealt a surprising 34-31 home loss by Tua Tagovailoa and Miami. So it was no surprise that the first move on this line was toward the Bills.

      "We moved quickly to -1," Murray said. "This is a very interesting game. The Cardinals are off a loss, and the Bills are coming off their best win of the season and the best game of Josh Allen's career. It's very much a toss-up game, and the line shows it. There should be good two-way write."

      Seahawks at Rams Odds
      Opening line
      Rams -1.5, Over/Under TBA

      Why the line moved
      While Seattle suffered the aforementioned loss at Buffalo, Los Angeles was on a bye week. The Rams are short home favorites in this NFC West clash.

      "We opened Rams -1.5 and are now -2," Murray said. "The Seahawks' defense stinks, and today, Russell Wilson finally into a game (in which) he couldn't bail out the defense. I don't trust that Seattle D at all, but I also don't trust Jared Goff. I do think the public will trust Russ to bounce back here."

      49ers at Saints Odds
      Opening line
      Saints -6.5, Over/Under TBA

      Why the line moved
      New Orleans boatraced Tampa Bay 38-3 under the prime-time lights Sunday night. San Francisco had no such luck in the Thursday nighter, with its depleted squad falling to Green Bay 34-17. The defending NFC champion Niners will still be minus QB Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) and tight end George Kittle (foot) for a few weeks, and they've got a host of other injuries. The SuperBook opened the Saints -6.5, and the game came off the board once New Orleans kicked off at Tampa.

      "That line will go up after tonight," Murray assured. "The 49ers have a ton of guys out, and the Saints will be a hot team after what they did to Brady and the Bucs. The Saints will be in just about every moneyline parlay and teaser next week. We will be 49ers fans again next weekend."

      Ravens at Pats Odds
      Opening line
      Patriots +7, Over/Under TBA

      Why the line moved
      This would normally be a matchup of top-shelf teams working their way into playoff form, under the Sunday night lights. However, New England is just 2-5 SU heading into the Week 9 Monday nighter at the New York Jets. Baltimore, meanwhile, is 6-2 SU and coming off a solid win at Indianapolis.

      "The Ravens opened -7, and we moved quickly to -6.5. This is a funny line to see when the Ravens are at New England," Murray said. "I'm very curious to watch Lamar Jackson go against Bill Belichick. It seems like a lot of defensive coaches have learned and made adjustments against Jackson. And nobody is better at game-planning than Belichick. I wouldn't count him out just yet.

      "I'm sure we will need New England huge, given the top slot on Sunday night, so you'll probably see this line at 7 again."

      Vikings at Bears Odds
      Opening line
      Bears +2.5, Over/Under TBA

      Why the line moved
      Three weeks ago, Chicago was 5-1 SU and seemingly in good form. Now the Bears are 5-4 SU and on a three-game skid, while Minnesota won its last two, a road upset of Green Bay and Sunday's 34-20 home win over Detroit. So even though Minnesota is just 3-5 SU and Chicago is at home, the Bears are catching 2.5 points at The SuperBook for the Week 10 Monday night tilt.

      "We just looked at who we think people will be looking to bet, after what they've seen the last two weeks," Murray said. There was no disagreement with the line Sunday night, as it did not move.

      Chargers at Dolphins Odds
      Opening line
      Dolphins -1, Over/Under TBA

      Why the line moved
      Tua Tagovailoa and Miami got a surprising 34-31 victory at Arizona on Sunday, while Los Angeles took another kick in the gut in a one-score game, losing to Las Vegas 31-26. The SuperBook opened the Dolphins -1 and moved to -2.5 within an hour Sunday night, with Murray saying that was more a move with the market.

        NFL betting tips for Week 10: Bet Now or Bet Later
        Jason Logan

        The Titans opened as 2.5-point home favorites versus the Colts on Thursday Night Football in Week 10 and won't be under the key number of a field goal long.

        You know you’re into the nitty gritty of the NFL betting schedule when you hit double figures. And here we are, at Week 10.

        This is the time of the year when teams start scoreboard watching, with a close eye fixed on the standings and their potential playoff hopes. But for NFL bettors, we’re always focused on the spreads and totals and how they shift from Sunday night to Sunday afternoon.

        The most lucrative NFL betting strategy remains getting the best of the number, and we share our NFL betting tips on the lines to bet now and ones to bet later. Good luck.

        Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans (-2.5): Bet Now

        Don’t get caught on your back like a turtle – or Philip Rivers – when it comes to the spread for Thursday Night Football. Tennessee opened -2.5 for this mid-week primetime contest and will likely move to -3 quite quickly.

        The Titans out-muscled Chicago in Week 9, winning 24-17 and just holding off the Bears enough to cover the 6.5-points at home (Chicago scored 17 points in the fourth quarter). It wasn’t a pretty win, but it snapped a two-game slide for Tennessee and the Titans get to stay home for this short week.

        The Colts, on the other hand, couldn’t keep pace with Baltimore for four quarters. After battling the Ravens to a 10-7 lead at the half, Indianapolis caved like the rotting Jack-o-Lantern on your neighbor’s porch, getting outscored 17-0 in the final 30 minutes. It marked the third time in the past four games that the Colts failed to cover the spread.

        If you’re all about that Honky Tonk in Nashville Thursday night, take the Titans -2.5 now.

        Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers (-9.5): Bet Later

        This line is actually moving away from the undefeated Steelers after opening as high as -10 for this AFC North rivalry. A near loss to the Cowboys (and whoever their QB was) as 14-point chalk will do that.

        Pittsburgh didn’t look great in that 24-19 squeaker, but it was the team’s third straight road game and a textbook letdown spot after the win over Baltimore in Week 8. The Steelers are back in Heinz Field for the first time in almost a month, but Ben Roethlisberger’s tender knee could make him a no-show for practice and keep this spread under the key number of -10 (although he told the media he was fine).

        The Bengals also bring a lot of heat into this match. Cincinnati enjoyed a bye in Week 9 and was last seen upsetting the Titans in Week 8. Joe Burrow is blossoming under center and taking Bengals backers along for the ride, with Cincy sitting 6-2 against the spread.

        Given all that, shops have jumped from Steelers -10 to -9.5 and are dealing extra vig on the underdog Bengals +9.5 (-115). That could mean a drop to Pittsburgh -9. For those who always carry an extra Terrible Towel in the glovebox, wait it out and see how low the Steelers will go.

        Los Angeles Chargers at Miami Dolphins (Over 50): Bet Now

        It’s a showdown between rookie quarterbacks, with Justin Herbert and the Bolts visiting Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins. The Over/Under opened as low as 49.5 and has crept to 50 points with early money siding with a shootout in South Beach.

        Herbert and the Chargers were oh-so-close to a Week 9 win but this total is more about the L.A. defense – or lack thereof – which has allowed each of its last five opponents to break the 30-point plateau on the scoreboard, topping the total in all five of those contests since Week 4.

        Miami’s offensive attack hasn’t slowed much since Tua usurped the starting gig from Ryan Fitzpatrick, including getting 27 points in the 34-31 win over Arizona on Sunday (the Dolphins opened the game with a scoop-and-score). The Miami defense is a dangerous crew and very disruptive but has given up big scores against quality opponents.

        The bad weather in Florida is supposed to pass by the weekend, so if you’re lining up for these Young Guns like Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Charlie Sheen, and Dermot Mulroney (I mean, what a cast!), get down on the Over 50 now.

        Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders (Over 50.5): Bet Later

        This AFC West showdown in Sin City opened with a total as high as 51 points but is trickling down with action on the Under out of the gate. And who could blame them? The Broncos and Raiders have played Under in seven straight head-to-head matchups, going back to 2017. Contrarian bettors: ACTIVATE!

        The Raiders are an Over bettors wet dream, with an offense putting up 27 points per game and a defense giving up one point more. The Silver and Black have kept Over backers in the black, with a 6-1-1 O/U mark heading into Week 10.

        The Broncos have started to show some teeth on offense in recent games. Denver has posted scores of 27 and 31 points in the past two weeks and it looks like Drew Lock is settling in since returning from injury. The Broncos defense, however, is slipping with a total of 107 points allowed in the past three games.

        If you’re bucking this divisional totals trend, crack a Coors and wait to see how low the number will go before buying up the Over.

                      Hot & Not Report - Week 10
                      Matt Blunt

                      NFL Week 10 Betting Angles

                      The weeks just keep rolling by in this NFL season and it was a break even week for that pre-TNF (Thursday Night Football) run that remains at the status quo.

                      Baltimore was the side to cash against the Colts, but Tennessee nearly let the Chicago Bears through the back door when all was said and done.

                      With Arizona and Seattle on deck for next week's TNF game, keeping the fade alive is an interesting proposition.

                      Both of them are lined on either side of tight pick'em-like games, and for one to cash it would mean that the Buffalo Bills beat both of them in consecutive weeks.

                      A 13-4 straight up run for road teams in non-conference tilts didn't perform well with Denver, Seattle, Chicago, and Pittsburgh the four losses in a 2-4 week for that previous run.

                      Going back to that in Week 10 would lead you to Buffalo yet again - at Arizona – as well as the Jacksonville Jaguars at Green Bay, and you know the oddsmakers will be hoping the Jags show up.

                      The high scoring in those non-conference games did continue though, as a 4-2 O/U record against the closing number could have been 5-1 O/U if you got the 'over' in Pittsburgh/Dallas mid-week.

                      The average points in those six games clocked in at 58.66 bumping that average up yet still. Seeing points in any Arizona or Seattle game is the norm, so who wants to pull the trigger on a Buffalo-Over parlay?

                      It's not all good news for the Bills on a larger scale though.

                      Who's Hot and Not

                      Only 8 of the 32 NFL teams have a losing ATS record when coming off a loss

                      Only 11 of the 32 NFL teams have a winning ATS record when coming off a win


                      The specifics of which teams land in either category always have a place, but in the general sense, this suggests that starting with games where you are looking to back a team off a loss versus a team off a win isn't the worst option in the world.

                      Week 10 starts with one of those games as the Colts (off a loss) visit Tennessee (off a win) in a divisional game that will go a long way in deciding that division.

                      But it was the curiosity about the Bills/Cardinals game that brought me here to begin with, as Buffalo was starting to look too good to be true.

                      It will be interesting to see just how interested the market ends up in that game as it's one that has the potential to generate plenty of action or really not much at all. But with the Cardinals needing to rebound off that home loss as chalk before a return match with Seattle next Thursday, do the Bills get burnt by reading too many headlines before their bye week?

                      This line of thought is also good news for the Jacksonville Jaguars this week, who you know will be needed to at least put an outright scare in the Packers for teasers at least. They lost to Houston in a failed comeback, while Green Bay got to beat a San Francisco team that had half their unit still wearing name tags on their helmets.

                      Who Could You Follow in Week 10?

                      Colts
                      Cardinals
                      Jaguars
                      Browns
                      Broncos
                      Chargers
                      49ers
                      Bears

                      Other plays that would fit this off loss vs off win scenario include Cleveland (-3) vs Houston, Denver (+5) @ Las Vegas, the LA Chargers (+2.5) @ Miami, San Francisco (+10) vs New Orleans, and the Chicago Bears (+2.5) vs Minnesota.

                      You've really got to spend time doing your homework on some of those games to want to confidently get behind some of those teams, but there is also time to wait as well because it's not likely many of those spreads are going to move too far in the favor of those suggested options.

                      There are a couple of specific notes to make as well with a few of those games.

                      For example, Minnesota is one of those 11 teams to have a winning ATS mark off a victory, as they are now 2-0 ATS in that role and covering the number by 8.2 points in those games.

                      The Miami Dolphins are another one of those 11 teams at 3-1 ATS off a win, with a margin that's actually better than the Vikings at +8.5.

                      With the Chargers ability to continually find new ways to come up short, taking as many points as you can with them is always going to be the best way to go, and with how the Dolphins grade out in traditional methods on defense especially, Miami's support is always going to be just fine there.

                      And then there is the 49ers, who've had a few extra days to get those initial greetings out of the way, catching the Saints between division games.

                      New Orleans couldn't have played much better in that high profile game against Tampa, and a home date against the rallying Falcons next week isn't the best spot to be in by any means.

                      Flat spot or not, how comfortable can you be holding any 49ers ticket?

                        Tech Trends - Week 10
                        Bruce Marshall

                        Week 10 of the NFL season kicks off on Thursday, Nov. 12 and we've identified betting trends and angles for all 14 matchups.

                        We also have "Tech Edge" leans on the side or total for each game too.

                        Thursday, Nov. 12

                        INDIANAPOLIS at TENNESSEE

                        Colts 2-4 last six vs. line away (2-2 in 2020).
                        Titans on 16-5 “over” run since Ryan Tannehill took over as starting QB in mid-2019.

                        Tech Edge: “Over,” based on “totals” trends.


                        Sunday, Nov. 15

                        CINCINNATI at PITTSBURGH

                        The Joe Burrow led Bengals are a solid 6-1-1 vs. line this season.
                        Cincy is 5-1-1 as underdog too.
                        Pitt, however, is 6-2 vs. line (and 8-0 SU).
                        Steelers lean “over” 18-9-1 last 28 with Big Ben at QB (excludes almost all of 2019)
                        Though “unders” are 6-1-1 last 8 in series.

                        Tech Edge: Slight to Bengals and “under,” based on team and “totals” trends.

                        WASHINGTON at DETROIT
                        Wash 0-2-1 vs. line away this season
                        If Lions chalk note their 1-4 mark last five for head coach Matt Patricia.
                        Detroit “over” 9-1 last ten at Ford Field.

                        Tech Edge: “Over,” based on “totals” trends.

                        HOUSTON at CLEVELAND
                        Rough go for Texans, 1-7 SU and vs. line in 2020
                        4-12-1 vs. spread since mid-2019 for Houston
                        Coach Romeo 2-2 SU and 1-3 vs. line.
                        Houston also no covers last 7 as an underdog.
                        Browns on 3-8 spread skid since late 2019 (a bit better 3-5 this season)
                        Cleveland “over” 5-2 last seven as host.

                        Tech Edge: Slight to Browns and “over,” based on team and “totals” trends.

                        JACKSONVILLE at GREEN BAY
                        Jags had dropped five in a row vs. number and four straight as dog prior to late cover last week vs. Texans.
                        Jacksonville still only 5-11 last 16 on board vs. line.
                        Pack 6-2 SU and vs. spread after Niners win.
                        For what it’s worth only 1-4 as DD chalk since 2015.

                        Tech Edge: Packers, based on recent trends.

                        PHILADELPHIA at NY GIANTS
                        G-Men rather remarkably 5-0-1 vs. line last six.
                        And 6-1-1 vs. spread last eight in 2020.
                        Despite only 2-7 SU mark entering this matchup.
                        Birds are 1-4 last five as favorites.
                        Road team has covered last five in series and six of last seven meetings.

                        Tech Edge: Giants, based on recent trends.

                        TAMPA BAY at CAROLINA
                        Road team 7-2 vs. line in Panthers games this season.
                        Carolina 1-3 vs. line at home in 2020
                        Panthers are 1-6-1 vs. spread last 8 as host.
                        Bucs 2-2 as road chalk this year.
                        Even with SNF "under" vs. Saints, now 17-8 “over” for Arians since LY.
                        Arians teams “over” 32-16 since mid 2016 with Cards.

                          Colts vs. Titans Week 10 Odds, Preview
                          Matt Blunt

                          The winner of Thursday Night Football matchup in Week 10 will be in the driver's seat for the AFC South crown this year, with a rematch coming against this rival again in two weeks. Both teams are coming off low-scoring affairs last week, but only the Titans were on the right side of their result.

                          There is far too much ground to realistically think the other two teams in this division will make any sort of threat, so the season could really come down to the next month for both teams.

                          Oddly enough, the fact that they both come in off the same total result is something we can hopefully use to our advantage this week, as this should be an entertaining game for in-game betting on the side.

                          Handicapping the Total

                          The fact that San Francisco scored that late TD with under 10 seconds left last Thursday to cash 'over' tickets that day was also a first this season. It was the first time in five tries that two TNF teams that were coming off the same total result (both went 'over' or 'under') and that they were able to duplicate the result.

                          Every other time the result was to flip it, and we've had the likes of Denver/NYJ and Cincinnati/Cleveland put on offensive shows after a rough offensive week, and a rescheduled KC/Buffalo game cash an 'under' ticket after both teams had allowed 40+ the week prior. Prevailing wisdom isn't always the best course of action, and expecting an 'over' between these two teams does make a lot of sense.

                          Tennessee's defense has still been awful for the better part of this season, and don't let a strong 3+ quarter performance against the Bears lull you to sleep too much. Most defenses seem to get right against the Bears.

                          The Colts can have a Bears-like performance from time to time, but I'd still like to see the Titans do it two weeks in a row on defense. The Titans three best performances defensively, in that they allowed less than 20 points, came in Week 1 after extensive prep time, against the Bills after extended rest and a very disjointed schedule for the Bills, and then against the Bears.

                          Then you've got the Colts, who confirmed that the only consistent thing about how the league determines what is and isn't a catch is the fact that they'll likely change their stance on those variables if Dez Bryant is in the building.

                          Defensively the Colts aren't bad, but Tennessee's still 6-2 SU with that rough defense on one end. Holding them down is far from an easy task, and every Colts road game this year against everyone but the Chicago Bears has gone 'over' the number (3-0 O/U).

                          The first meeting of the two in a rivalry because it can bring more of a gambling feel to it from a play-calling perspective. Coaches know they'll still have another chance at these guys, and they'll have a full game tape on where to make adjustments and where not to.

                          A short week without travel is a strong spot for the Titans defense to prove me wrong and show up for two weeks straight, but I'm not sure this early move down with the total isn't just another “prevailing wisdom” look trying to stay ahead of the market, and one that hasn't really worked for TNF.

                          I'm willing to go to the high side of this total to see if that 5-1 run on flipping the results gets back to form. I still believe I've got a very suspect Titans defense to help me along (or bail me out late) as well.

                          Dec. 1, 2019 - Tennessee 31 at Indianapolis 17, Titans -1, Over 41.5
                          Sep. 15, 2019 - Indianapolis 19 at Tennessee 17, Colts +3, Under 43.5

                          Handicapping the Side

                          Figuring out who is the play on this side is something I'm not all that interested in doing. It is important to keep in mind though as you may be able to take more information from this game and apply it to the spread in the rematch in two weeks much better then trying to get it right now.

                          Cases can be made for both sides in this spot, and if you can find some spots in-game where plus-money on either side exists on the ML, going that route and calling it a night may be best for your brain as well.

                          There is the whole idea of having a team off a loss (Indy) against a team off a win (Tennessee) that I discussed here, favoring a pregame lean on taking the points with Indy, but you could just start with their plus-money ML line there and hope they get a lead at some point to where taking back something on the Titans makes sense.

                          But I'm not going to spend more time than that on this side really. Too close to call, and having a better idea of what's at stake for both sides in that return match is maybe where the brainpower should go.

                            Vegas Money Moves - Week 10
                            Micah Roberts

                            Sharps on the Rookie

                            The Cincinnati Bengals (6-2 ATS) at the undefeated 8-0 Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2 ATS) have been a popular play this week.

                            At the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook as a few bettors took the opener of +9.5, +8, +8.5, and +8 (some quick air moves), and that was all in one day on Monday with Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s status for Sunday uncertain.

                            The Steelers have been off the board much of the week and sit at -7.5. It’s their first meeting against rookie QB Joe Burrow.

                            Chris Andrews at the South Point said they got immediate sharp action on the Bengals before taking it off the board.

                            The lean could be viewed as a bit surprising, considering the Steelers average score this season is 32-19.

                            Uncertainty Abound

                            Washington (4-4 ATS) will visit Detroit (3-5 ATS), who hasfailed to cover all three home games at Ford Field this season. However, Washington has lost its last five road games outside of D.C.

                            Lions QB Matt Stafford is still in concussion protocol and a line hasn’t been offered at most bet shops, but no one is banging on the counter demanding a number, either.

                            Weather will be a key story with the Texans (1-7 ATS) at Browns (3-5 ATS), although Cleveland QB Baker Mayfield hasn’t broken COVID-19 protocol yet after coming in contact with someone who had it. He’s expected to play.

                            The Texans are 0-4 ATS on the road and their only wins this season have come against the Jaguars, twice (1-1 ATS). It’s part of the reason why the Browns went from -1.5 all the way up to -3.5 at the SuperBook.

                            Rain is expected early on Sunday but the winds at 31 mph will pose a problem with both QBs.

                            Jaguars (3-5 ATS) money showed up at +14 early in the week for their game at the Packers (6-2 ATS), and after a brief stint at -13, Green Bay is a solid -13.5.

                            Jacksonville has lost its last seven games since upsetting the Colts in Week 1. William Hill’s Nick Bogdanovich says the Packers are their top public play of the week.

                            The South Point’s Chris Andrews said they had respected money played on the Jaguars.

                            Divisional Games to Watch

                            The Eagles (3-5 ATS) opened -3 at the Giants (6-3 ATS) and have been bet up to -3 -120, and -3.5 as of Friday at the SuperBook. The Giants have covered their last three games, one of which was a 22-21 loss at Philly three weeks ago. The road team has covered the last five meetings in this NFC East series.

                            The Buccaneers (4-5 ATS) hope to regroup at Carolina (5-4 ATS). The Panthers have lost four straight while the Buccaneers got a rude NFC South awakening last week in a 38-3 home loss to the Saints on Sunday Night Football.

                            The number has been all over the place crisscrossing through the dead numbers of 5, and 5.5. The Buccaneers opened -4.5 and were at -5.5 for most of the week until being bumped up to -6 on Thursday. The Bucs are a public play, but not among the leaders. Joe Public thinks the Bucs stink after last week’s performance.

                            The Broncos (5-3 ATS) have become a popular sharp play at the South Point and William Hill in their first visit to Las Vegas (5-3 ATS).

                            The number opened Raiders -4, went up to -5, and has come back down to -4. The Raiders have won and covered their last two games and they’ve gone over the total in seven of eight games.

                            However, the last seven meetings have stayed under and the Raiders have covered the last five hook-ups with Denver. In the Broncos last six losses, they’ve covered the spread in the next game five times. The public has been betting the Raiders heavy in parlays at the South Point.

                            Key Late Game Action

                            Bills at Cardinals


                            There should be no shortage of points when Buffalo (4-5 ATS) plays at Arizona (5-3 ATS). The Cardinals No. 1 offense (422 YPG) averages a 30-27 score this season.

                            The Bills have gone 'over' the total in their last seven games following a win while the Cardinals have stayed 'under' in six of eight games giving you lots to think about with the highest total of the week set at 56.5.

                            The Cards opened -1.5 and have been bet up -2.5. William Hill’s Nick Bogdanovich says the Cardinals have been one of their more popular sharp plays this week.

                            Seahawks at L.A. Rams

                            The Seattle (5-3 ATS) at L.A. Rams (4-4 ATS) number has stayed at Rams -1.5 most of the week. Meanwhile the total is hovering between 54 and 55 points despite knowing that the Rams have stayed 'under' the total in their last five games.

                            The Seahawks average 2020 score is 34-32 and has the worst defense in the NFL.

                            The underdog is 14-6 ATS in the last 20 meetings. Seattle QB Russell Wilson had four turnovers last week at Buffalo and three weeks ago he had three interceptions at Arizona, both losses for the 'Hawks.

                            Suddenly the talk of getting an MVP vote has quieted.

                            49ers at Saints

                            This is one of the top public sides of the week: San Francisco (4-5 ATS) at New Orleans (3-5 ATS).

                            The point-spread has gone from Saints -8.5 to -9.5 and the public doesn’t seem to care what the spread is, they love the Saints at William Hill and the South Point.

                            It’s the “what we saw last test.”

                            The Saints have won their last five games and have gone 'over' the total in seven of their eight games with the one 'under' being last week at Tampa Bay in a 38-3 win.

                            The Saints do enter this game with the third-ranked defense allowing only 311 yards per game.

                            Ravens at Patriots

                            Bettors are having no problem laying points on the road with Baltimore (4-4) -7 at New England (3-5 ATS).

                            “The Ravens, one-way traffic that big and small punters have both been backing consistently,” said BetMGM VP Jason Scott.

                            The Ravens are their biggest public risk of the week at just about every book, but the spread hasn’t moved which shows you have little the bookmakers respect the public’s opinion.

                            Ravens average a 28-17 score this season and the team owns the No. 1 scoring defense, allowing 17.8 points per game.

                            Chargers at Dolphins

                            The L.A. Chargers (5-3 ATS) have captured the interest of sharp money at William Hill books for their game at Miami (6-2 ATS). The Dolphins have won and covered four straight games but opened only -1 at the SuperBook and by Monday morning they were up to -2.5.

                            The Chargers buy move came on Wednesday dropping the number to -2 and then continued on Thursday to drop it to -1.5 where it sat as of Friday.
