The online bookies were 1-3 this NFL weekend, winning with the Denver Broncos and losing with victories from the Giants, Titans and Cardinals.

These were the four teams getting the most action.  Dallas was also one of the most heavily bet on teams of the weekend with a line of -1 ½. 

Other teams receiving around 60 to 65 percent of the action including Tampa Bay, Philadelphia and Indianapolis.   The later two teams failed to cover and, as such, helped the books out quite a bit.

When all was said and done, Sportsbook.com took the biggest hit from the Arizona Cardinals, who were getting 88 percent of the betting action and they were among the most wagered on teams of the week.

78 percent of the action on the Dallas/Washington game was going towards Dallas and this was probably the most bet on game of the weekend due to its night time showing.  A win by Washington would have allowed the books to make a profit.  At press time Sunday night, this game was still being played.

Philadelphia received 77 percent of the action verses Cincinnati but failed to cover due to the first tie in years.
