Both of those teams were heavy public favorites.
Today we have another side seeing 75% or greater action, the New England Patriots.
In the case of the Patriots we have been seeing the line trend upwards in conjuction with the action coming in at just about every book.
Sportsbook.com had New England at -12.5 on the high end. Westgate in Vegas was on the low end at -10. Surprisingly, a sharp book the likes of Bookmaker had moved to -13. Pinnacle was at that number too.
We here at Gambling911.com aren't big on heavy public favorites but - man oh man - this looks like a romp by the Patriots. Books will need the Jets here but this might be out of reach.
The Panthers are the second most wagered on side this weekend, seeing around 65% of the action on the spread. There are no teases here (i.e. Panthers -2.5) so this can really go either way and it does seem like the books are thinking a field goal win is in order.
The Steelers are a later game seeing decent action at better than 65% versus the Broncos.
In a perfect world where the Patriots are just too good for the Jets to overcome Sunday, the gambling public wins and throws all their money towards Pittsburgh only to have Denver come through big for the books.
But again, we are not seeing any teases here (at least not Sunday morning) in the form of books offering Pittsburgh at -2.5.
