Bettors Following Biggest Story
With the news Aaron Rodgers season is probably over, those betting football are convinced Drew Brees vs. Brett Hundley is a complete mismatch, even in Lambeau Field. New Orleans opened up as -4.5 point favorites and have been jettisoned to -6. Also part of this equation is the unknown status of Green Bay offensive line, which saw three starters leave last week's game with Rodgers. Plus, their defense almost appears to be signing guys off the street just to have bodies. Not a great time to faces Brees and that Saints offense.
We have all your needs covered when it comes to betting lines. Here are the latest NFL line moves from around the NFL.
Minnesota Getting the Love, Baltimore Not so Much
With Rodgers gone, the Vikings are the best NFC North team and can take control of the division. Case Keenum will not make the Pro Bowl this season, but neither will Sam Bradford, and for now, Keenum has played long enough and well enough this season to have the trust of his teammates.
As for Baltimore, one week after having their best offensive showing, they could not even muster 300 yards in more than four quarters against Chicago and the only reason the Ravens did not lose in regulation was because a pair of special teams touchdowns. Little wonder the Vikings have been shoved from -4.5 to -5.5 against a disengaged Baltimore offense.
Lots of Doubts About Denver
Coming off a bye week, playing at home and facing a New York Giants team with few visible weapons because of injury and poor play, Denver was expected to run roughshod over the G-Men. Instead, they got their Sunday night dessert handed to them. In a week to week league like the NFL, the Broncos have slipped from -1.5 point favorites to +2 point underdogs in Carson, CA now semi-famous soccer stadium. Trevor Siemian and Denver's offense has averaged less than 19 PPG on the road since he became starter. Also, the Chargers have won two straight and both were tight contests, which has plagued them the last several years. Picking either side will require "onions".
Super Bowl Rematch
If Atlanta and New England had played in Week 1 or 2, there would have justification of a true rematch. That is not the case more than eight months later as these are different teams. The Falcons were a domineering offensive squad a year ago, but after scoring 33 total points in a new stadium with different offensive coordinator, the invincibility factor has been severely diminished.
The Patriots are not the same club either. Tom Brady has been sacked as many times (16) in six games as the dozen regular season contests he played in last year. This points to weakened offensive line. By now we know how awful the New England defense is, ranked last is yards allowed and few experts are impressed with the fact they have given up 31 points in the last two games.
On the betting side, the Pats have dipped from -4.5 to -3.5, with the total climbing from 53.5 to 55. The wiser wager at this time looks like the total and almost assuredly the side will require more time digging into the numbers.
