Bookies Need Houston Texans Win
Carrie Stroup here with your bookie report heading into Sunday's NFL games.
Throughout the week, the one constant has been a majority backing of the Indianapolis Colts, though that percentage was now hovering just under 70 percent at most online sportsbooks as Houston manage to garner some of the action as a +3 underdog. They are 0-10 against the Colts. This game was so heavily bet on that Houston was getting the 4th most action of all teams playing Sunday.
The bookmakers will also be looking for Buffalo to cover against Miami.
"The Dolphins and Colts were the two most bet on teams of the weekend in terms of the early games," explained Don Shapiro of Gambling911.com.
Buffalo would need to cover a +3 ½ home spread at Sportsbook.com.
Elsewhere bookies will want Chicago to cover the +10 ½ point spread vs. Minnesota and Washington to cover the +9 ½ line against Philadelphia. The Vikings were getting 80 percent of the action as of Sunday morning. This late afternoon game will be among the most wagered on.
Seattle ranked around the 6th as the most bet on of the week as a -4 favorite against St. Louis and they were getting around 80 percent of the action.
Pittsburgh was getting nearly 30 percent of the action against the Ravens, however, there was not a lot of action on this game early on. Big Ben will be out.
Expect New England vs. New Orleans to get extensive action Monday night. Even action was coming in here.
