Here are all the latest line moves in the NFL and there are more than usual, a likely reflection of fewer college football games. Check out today’s top trends also! Like we say every day, understanding line moves can build your bankroll. (268-217 L83D)
NFL – Thursday (101) DALLAS at (102) CHICAGO 8:25 ET NFLN
The Dallas defense is showing signs of vulnerability, allowing 26.5 PPG in November, while the Chicago is no longer the “Monsters of the Midway” in conceding 28.1 PPG this season. This combination has helped push the total from 50 to 51.5. This could be correct with the Bears 7-1 OVER as an underdog and the Cowboys 10-2 OVER off an upset loss by 14 points or more as a home favorite. Betting Trend – 82 percent backing the Over

NFL – (157) HOUSTON at (158) JACKSONVILLE 1:00 ET CBS
Jacksonville’s win over the Giants did nothing to enhance their chances for consecutive victories. The Jaguars have been bumped from +3.5 to +5 with those making football picks not convinced Jacksonville can duplicate its last effort. Here is something to ponder about the AFC South encounter, the SU winner is 9-1-1 ATS since 2008. Betting Trend – 96 percent backing Houston
NFL – (159) N.Y. GIANTS at (160) TENNESSEE 1:00 ET FOX
The Giants, losers of seven straight, opened as a Pick and went to -1 and have been ping-ponging back and forth since Monday. With both defenses conceding 26 or more points, the total has been bumped up from 45 to 46. Frankly, picking a side here looks like a 50-50 proposition. Because both teams are very turnover prone, the OVER might be the play here. Betting Trend – 97 percent backing New York and 77 percent on the Over
NFL – (161) CAROLINA at (162) NEW ORLEANS 1:00 ET FOX
New Orleans offense is beginning to play like its old self and both the Saints and Panthers defenses are surrendering better than 26 points a contest. Thus the total is percolating from 48 to 49.5. Carolina is 8-1 OVER on the road after a defeat and New Orleans is 6-0 OVER at the Superdome after posting a 1-2 ATS record in last three outings. Betting Trend – 76 percent backing the Over
NFL – (171) KANSAS CITY at (172) ARIZONA 4:05 ET CBS
Arizona has one garbage time touchdown in their last 11 quarters with QB Drew Stanton at the controls, yet they have been taken from a Pick to -1.5 over Kansas City and by today was back to -1. Being home should help the Cardinals who are 6-0 and 5-1 ATS in their building. Also, Arizona can focus on stopping the Chiefs running game since they do not have one touchdown to a wide receiver this season. Betting Trend – 69 percent backing Kansas City
NFL – (175) SEATTLE at (176) PHILADELPHIA 4:25 ET FOX
Found it intriguing Seattle started as Pick at Philadelphia, which is definitive statement by oddsmakers whom they think is the better team. The wagering public has since moved the Eagles to -1 with Philly a perfect 6-0 SU at the Linc this season. However, impossible to disregard the Seahawks are 10-1 ATS as underdog the past three years. Betting Trend – 76 percent backing Seattle
NFL – Monday (179) ATLANTA at (180) GREEN BAY 8:30 ET ESPN
Atlanta is averaging 18.9 PPG on the road compared to 30.1 PPG in the comfort of the Georgia Dome. With Green Bay’s defense improving, the total has drifted downward from 56 to 55. Weather of course is always a factor this time of year at Lambeau, which could change conditions, but we’ll go the other way with Packers pass-catchers torching Atlanta’s secondary. Betting Trend – 81 percent backing Under
