Both money lines had the favorite seeing over 80 percent of the betting action.

Books also got destroyed with the Chiefs big cover over Denver with up to 70 percent of the action.

They have one last shot for Week 16 with the Lions heading to Dallas. After two starting quarterbacks suffered season-ending injuries this past week, many believe Dak Prescott will be sitting out for this game as the Cowboys have already secured home field advantage throughout the post season. As of Monday morning he was expected to play.

Books were also heavily exposed with the OVER 45, which was seeing more than 80 percent of the action.
