Sports Watch Monitor Line Moves and Today’s Top Trends

Here is a look at the line moves thus far in the NFL. Like we say every day, understanding line moves can build your bankroll. (158-117 L56D)
NFL – Thursday (301) MINNESOTA at (302) GREEN BAY 8:25 ET CBS (side and total)
I am speculating here, but my guess the reason the total went from 49 to 46.5 was the ankle injury to Teddy Bridgewater and his uncertain status. Reports out of Minnesota began to emerge the rookie quarterback should be listed as “Probable” for this NFC North battle and the number has risen to 47.5 These division rivals are 5-2 OVER in last seven. With this news, the Vikings ship is taking on fewer points, down from +10 to +8.5, with bettors not impressed with Green Bay’s leaky defense. Betting Trend – 54 percent are backing Green Bay and 80 percent are on the Over
NFL – (455) ST. LOUIS at (456) PHILADELPHIA 1:00 ET FOX
With a depleted offensive line, Philadelphia is no mustering much support and has been lowered from -8 to -7 against St. Louis. LeSean McCoy has nowhere to run, which places more on Nick Foles plate to generate offense. In addition, giving more than a touchdown with the Eagles could cause queasiness given their 4-14 ATS home record the past three years. Betting Trend – 72 percent are backing Philadelphia
NFL – (461) HOUSTON at (462) DALLAS 1:00 ET CBS
With Dallas off to an astonishing start, those betting football are willing to go back into the water to back the Cowboys. Dallas opened as -4 point favorites and has been elevated to -6. The Cowboys dynamic offense is a big part of the reason and the defense, at least from points allowed perspective (10th in NFL), has been solid. With Arian Foster and Andre Johnson already nicked, is Ryan Fitzpatrick able to carry the load? Betting Trend – 74 percent are backing Dallas
NFL – (465) BALTIMORE at (466) INDIANAPOLIS 1:00 ET CBS
Joe Flacco is becoming more comfortable with his pass-catchers and Andrew Luck is locked in with his receivers, having 13 TD passes after just four games. With the tightened pass inference rules, the total jumped 2.5-points to 49. However, I’m not on board when understanding John Harbaugh’s Ravens are 10-1 UNDER after two consecutive covers as a favorite. Betting Trend – 93 percent are riding the Over
NFL – (469) ARIZONA at (470) DENVER 4:05 ET FOX
The word is spreading about Arizona and we will get a closer look this week where the Cardinals really are. With both teams off byes for this non-conference clash, Denver has sunk from -8.5 to touchdown favorites. Coach Bruce Arians Cards are 12-6-1 ATS under his direction. However, John Fox wearing a Broncos cap is 11-3 ATS if his team has won two out of their last three games. Betting Trend – 53 percent are backing Arizona
NFL – (475) CINCINNATI at (476) NEW ENGLAND 8:30 ET NBC
Cincinnati going from +3 to -1.5 at New England is in direct correlation what we saw Monday night. The Patriots have serious questions on both sides of the ball and Bill Belichick the general manager has left Bill Belichick the head coach without many good options with recent players drafted that are not working out. While the Patriots should be fired up and ready, the Bengals are rested and 6-0 ATS in road games after a pair of wins by 10 or more points. Betting Trend – 79 percent are backing Cincinnati
