This is Carrie Stroup with your Week 12 NFL betting action report - the teams and games that are getting the most money from gamblers.
Well, the most bet on team of this weekend is a no-brainer. That would be the New England Patriots, who are getting the most lopsided at every single online sportsbook, including our dear friends at Sportsbook.com
Nearly 90 percent of the action is going New England's way at some online gambling sites. This is especially interesting since the Patriots were a +3 underdog heading into Miami. A lot of this perception has to do with the "revenge" factor. Miami beat the Patriots badly at home earlier in the season. Online bookies are scared and hoping for a Dolphins win by more than 3 points. This one has since become a Pick'em.
The New York Giants were the second most popular bet of the weekend, followed closely by their fellow Jets.
The Giants will likely generate more betting action than any other team this week since they are playing later in the afternoon. Bookies will have their fingers crossed that Arizona can come through with a line of +3. This is a home game for the Cardinals.
It's the Jets getting significant action verses the undefeated Tennessee Titans. Should Tennessee fail to cover the -5 to -5 ½ line we are seeing across the board it will only result in a minor bruise for bookies. Should the Jets win outright, they'll be crippled. This is the most bet on game of the weekend but New York is getting 90 percent or more of the money line action, which pays $200 for every $100 bet at Sportsbook.com
Cleveland was the fourth most bet on team across the board, getting 75 percent or more of the action. Bookies will be hoping for a 3 point cover by Houston.
The Buffalo Bills were getting some heavy action at some online sportsbooks, but this one was hit or miss.
Baltimore was pretty consistently around the 6th or 7th most bet on team with around 70 percent of the betting action.
The Indianapolis Colts will be one of the most bet on teams of the day when all is said and done. They player later this evening and are already getting around 70 percent of the action on the +2 ½ to +3 spread, but more so nearly everyone is on the Colts moneyline at Sportsbook.com.
Good luck everyone!
