Baltimore was a -1.5 favorite against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gambling911.com notes that the Steelers have had the Ravens number of late. Only once in the last 10 games facing Baltimore have the Steelers lost by more than 3 points (a 6 point loss in December of 2007). We would add that close to 90 percent of those betting the spread were backing the Steelers here.
The Arizona Cardinals were coming in with a line of -7 against the Carolina Panthers at home. More than 90 percent of those betting the spread were backing the Cards here. Oddsmakers have the Cardinals winning UNDER 8 regular season games at -175. Arizona is the co-favorite with St. Louis to win the NFC West with a payout potential of $135 on every $100 bet. You have until early Sunday morning to still bet on division and Super Bowl futures.
The Seahawks were +5.5 underdogs coming into San Francisco. Check out these stats:
The home team has won by 13 or more points in three of those last four meetings.
The Seahawks are 16-36-1 ATS in their last 53 road games.
The Seahawks are 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games as a road underdog.
They are 1-8 Against The Spread playing on away grass fields.
Seattle is 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games as a road underdog of 3.5-10.0.
When was the last time we’ve seen the Indianapolis Colts as an 8.5 underdog? No Peyton Manning! Don’t be fooled though, with 65 percent of the betting public backing Houston on the spread and most of the money line action going towards the Texans, oddsmakers are smarter than that. Kerry Collins has enjoyed great success during his NFL career so this one could prove interesting. To think this game actually opened as a Pick’em (even odds).
