Bucs-49ers Line Moves Up to -3 in Favor of San Francisco (Video)
The Bucs-49ers line has moved up to -3 in favor of San Francisco after opening at -1 earlier in the week. A little more than 55 percent of those betting the spread were backing Tampa Bay here.
Last year, the Bucs shut out San Francisco by a score of 21-0 on the road. This does not bode well for the 49ers as Tampa Bay is 15-5-1 Against The Spread in their last 21 road games.
The Buccaneers are 11-0 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
The Buccaneers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog.
Seahawks-Giants Line at -9.5
After opening at -11.5, the Seahawks-Giants line has since settled in at -9.5 and that is probably where the line will close. 75 percent of those betting the spread for this game were backing New York.
There are some solid reasons for betting the Giants in this one.
New York has decimated Seattle in their last two head-to-head matchups both last year and in 2008.
The Seahawks have been a terrible team on the road, especially when heading to the East Coast. They are 16-38-1 Against The Spread in their last 55 road games.

The Bengals vs. Jaguars betting odds were at even at some online sportsbooks. A handful of the books were offering the line at -1.5 in favor of Jacksonville. It is interesting to note that nearly 85 percent of those betting the spread were backing the 2-2 Bengals here. Jacksonville comes into this one with a 1-3 record.
The Bengals are a bit of a surprise so far this season with their 2-2 record not necessarily reflective of the teams impressive performance thus far.

Vikings-Chiefs Line has Minnesota as a 0-3 Record Favorite (Video)
The Vikings-Chiefs line had Kansas City as a -3 point home underdog. Considering they only lost once at home last season in a meaningless final week game against Oakland, this spread might seem like a bit of a stretch. The betting public likes it though.

A win by Cleveland puts them right in the thick of things with suspect Steelers and Ravens teams.
