Want to know which games are getting the most betting action and which sides the public is all over? Look no further than the 2008 NFL Week 2 Betting Action Report, courtesy of Gambling911.com - the leader in odds analyses and line movement monitoring.

Now let's look at the Top 10 Bets heading into the first part of Sunday afternoon.

Indianapolis vs. Minnesota - The most bet on game heading into Sunday afternoon without a doubt. Nothing even came close. And this one was quite lopsided. Nearly 95 percent of the bets were going towards the Colts. Some bookmakers have moved the line down from Colts -2 to -1. Sportsbook.com has maintained the line at -2. The books will be hoping for a Vikings win. We think they have a strong opinion that this will happen but Gambling911.com believes the line is on the money so this one is really way too close to call. 80 percent of the bets are coming in on the OVER 43.5 and this line hasn't moved all week.

Green Bay vs. Detroit - The next most bet on game of the day and another one that can go either way. While Gambling911.com believes the line should have been closer to Green Bay -5, the bookmakers seem to have a very strong opinion on this game, keeping the line at -3 while 93 percent of gamblers are betting on the Packers side of this one. A Detroit Lions cover will make the bookies celebrate to be sure.

New Orleans vs. Washington - The third most bet on game of the 2008 NFL Week 2. If Gambling911.com is correct that the line should be more around Redskins -5, the bookies should make out well. 94 percent of the action was going the Saints way. They were the -1 point road favorite.

New York Giants vs. St. Louis Rams - This was the fourth most bet on game on average. Some books we know to be a little more lopsided on the Giants. The latest line is New York Giants -8 ½ at Sportsbook.com. We see the Giants able to win by 10 points and cover. A Rams win will help the books however.

Pittsburgh vs. Cleveland - This game should be getting more bets than Indianapolis vs. Minnesota when all is said and done. It's the Sunday night game and already during the morning hours, it was among the top 5 most bet on. More money will start pouring in on this game later in the afternoon. 92 percent of bets were on the Steelers at -6 ½. Books will want Cleveland BADLY as this will really put an exclamation mark on the day. Gambling911.com believes the line should be closer to Pittsburgh -5 so our mindset is that a Cleveland cover is very much possible.

New England vs. New York Jets - 60/40 action favors the Patriots. For the first time in recent memory, the bookmakers will be rooting for them. We have the Patriots able to win....and yes....that is all they need to do here - WIN. The line is Jets -1.

Oakland vs. Kansas City - It's hard to believe this game is getting so much action, but it just goes to show they both have their diehard fans. Kansas City was getting around 70 percent of the action so a win by Oakland would help the books. Gambling911 feels the line for Kansas City was much lower than it should be and - in a perfect scenario - the Chiefs should cover easily. It's difficult though when we have two teams that simply do not seem capable of winning on paper. A lot of the betting public believes that KC gave New England a run for their money last week on the road. And since we still believe the Patriots are among the top teams - even without Tom Brady - the public is probably right.

Buffalo vs. Jacksonville - The books will want a Jacksonville cover here as nearly 75 percent of the bets were coming in on Buffalo. It's a close call because we feel the opening line of Jacksonville -6 was relatively accurate. The line has since moved down to -5 at Sportsbook.com. The feeling around here is that the Jaguars should just manage to cover with either 6 points or a touchdown.  We are not as comfortable with Jacksonville as we were earlier this week though. 

Chicago vs. Carolina - Pretty balanced action here. Some books have slightly more money on Chicago, others have slightly more on Carolina. It's no wonder this line is so stable on the Carolina -3. Gambling911 sees a Chicago outright win or cover. 96 percent of the bets on the money line are going the Bears way at Sportsbook.com with the potential for a $155 payout on every $100 bet. With that in mind, most bookies will be rooting for Carolina.

Tennessee vs. Cincinnati - The Bengals are favored by one point. Gambling911.com believes that the Titans can actually win here. We think the line should have been Titans -1. This is very balanced action that won't make or break the books either way but with a 55/45 ratio in favor of the Titans.
