SAN FRANCISCO AT CHICAGO:
Not much action yet on the opener of Chicago -7. More Bears money has
been coming in than Niners money…so a few stores are testing Chicago
-7.5. Very tough to bet SF on the road this season, and they’re coming
off a tight divisional game. Chicago is in good form of late, but is
very untested as favorites of this size. Might see a tug-of-war shaping
up on game day if Sharps do nibble at the dog plus the hook. The
Over/Under is up from 42 to 43.5 because weather will be unseasonably
nice.
CINCINNATI AT CLEVELAND:
This one has risen between key numbers…as the opener of Cincinnati -7.5
is up to -9.5. That’s actually not as big a move as it might seem
because 8 and 9 are relatively rare final victory margins. But, the move
away from the seven tells you how much skepticism there is about the
Browns right now. Home dog money probably would come in at +10 if the
number gets that high by kickoff.
JACKSONVILLE AT TENNESSEE:
Little interest so far in what will likely be a very lightly bet game.
Tennessee opened at -2. We’re painted at -2.5 right now. It’s assumed
Sharp money would come in hard on Jacksonville +3 if the key number came
into play. The most likely scenario here is limited betting on the team
side, but a lot of Sharp interest in taking Jacksonville +8.5 in
two-team teasers because the six-point move would cross both the 3 and
the 7.
HOUSTON AT BUFFALO:
This has turned into a very big game because Houston has surged into the
AFC South race while Buffalo remains a strong Wildcard contender out of
the AFC East. The opening line of Buffalo -3 is still solid. Sharps
would fade any public move off the three between now and kickoff. We may
not see much betting in this high profile game because these aren’t
really “public” teams, and Sharps consider three the right number.

really “public” teams, and Sharps consider three the right number.
BALTIMORE AT MIAMI:
Miami opened at -3.5, and moved up to -4 in early Wise Guy betting.
That’s only half a point…but it’s a telling half because the move was
away from the key number of three. Sharps didn’t want the dog even with
the hook. Both teams are out of the playoff picture unless one gets hot
in this last month. Probably another lightly bet game in the early
Sunday window. Baltimore’s coming in on a short week after winning at
the last second Monday in Cleveland. (Two crazy finishes Monday and
Thursday!)
CAROLINA AT NEW ORLEANS: Everyone’s wondering when Carolina is finally
going to have an off-week. Sharps liked them at the opener of -6,
driving the line up to the key number of -7. Tough to be flat when you
have extra rest and preparation time to face an opponent with a really
bad defense! Wise Guys who faded Carolina on Thanksgiving regretted that
fairly quickly. Few shot takers on the dog showing up yet here. If the
public drives the line to -7.5 on game day, that might bring out some
dog players.
SEATTLE AT MINNESOTA:
One of the biggest games of the day…in what will probably be the
heaviest bet of the early starts. Seattle opened at pick-em. The line is
now Seahawks -2 as there’s doubt from Wise Guys about Minnesota’s
ability to win a big home game. The Vikings were embarrassed by Green
Bay here a couple of weeks ago…and Green Bay hasn’t looked very good in
the six weeks surrounding that result. If the line stays up on the two,
Minnesota +8 will be a popular Sharp choice in two-team teasers. Not
much to talk about on totals yet. This opener of 41 is up to 42, again
because weather is going to be surprisingly nice in the Midwest for a
December Sunday.
ARIZONA AT ST. LOUIS:
Arizona opened at -6. That’s come down a half a point to St. Louis +5.5
because there is still Sharp respect for the Rams defense. This is a
good matchup for the dog, as you saw in the first meeting. That was as
road shocker for the Rams…and one of the few shaky outings this year for
Carson Palmer. Big move, in context for the week, on the Over/Under in
this one. An opener of 44.5 is down to 43 because of respect for that
Rams defense.
BALTIMORE AT MIAMI:
Miami opened at -3.5, and moved up to -4 in early Wise Guy betting.
That’s only half a point…but it’s a telling half because the move was
away from the key number of three. Sharps didn’t want the dog even with

this one. An opener of 44.5 is down to 43 because of respect for that
Rams defense.
ATLANTA AT TAMPA BAY:
Not much betting interest yet in what’s likely to be another low profile
game. Atlanta’s fallen off the map during their recent slide. Tampa Bay
is inconsistent, with their balloon losing air in a bad loss at
Indianapolis last week. Tampa Bay opened at -1. If the public pushes the
game to -1.5 or -2, then Atlanta (+) is going to show up in a lot of
Sharp teasers. The opening total of 45 was bet up to 46.
NY JETS VS. NY GIANTS:
Big move here on the Jets as the opener of pick-em is now Jets -2.
Remember this is a neutral site game because both teams play their home
games in the same stadium. You can deduce that Sharps think the Jets are
the better of the two teams because they took out pick-em and -1 fairly
quickly. This game will see a bunch of New York money make its way to
Vegas. Though, it’s a relatively low interest game for the rest of the
country.
DENVER AT SAN DIEGO:
Denver opened at -4.5, but has been bet down a tick or two because San
Diego played so well last week at Jacksonville. A lot of old school guys
like divisional home underdogs anyway. Here we have an inexperienced
road quarterback on the field too. Brock Osweiler did impress in the win
over New England last Sunday. Can he keep it going against away from
home against a divisional rival? Sharps saw value on SD at +4.5 and +4.
KANSAS CITY AT OAKLAND:
We’re fairly frozen here on Kansas City -3 and 44. Some stores are
testing 44.5 on the total. This one could have a fairly big handle
because it’s a later start, and Raiders money spends aggressively in
Nevada when the team is doing well. That win at Tennessee last week may
inspire locals to play the Raiders as a dog here. Sharps would fade any
move off the three. Enough syndicates have been making hay with KC
lately that we may see a tug-of-war developing during the afternoon
Sunday.
ATLANTA AT TAMPA BAY:
Not much betting interest yet in what’s likely to be another low profile
game. Atlanta’s fallen off the map during their recent slide. Tampa Bay
is inconsistent, with their balloon losing air in a bad loss at

PHILADELPHIA AT NEW ENGLAND: New England opened
at -9.5. We’ve seen mixed action so far. I do know some syndicates are
hoping to get Philadelphia at +10. Will that ever become available? If
the public bets New England to bounce back off the Sunday night
loss….then we’ll have a tug-of-war between Sharps and squares at the ten
(or higher). With the Gronkowski scare, public money may be less likely
to come in. The opening total of 48 is up to 49 in spots…again because
weather won’t be hurting offenses this weekend.
INDIANAPOLIS AT PITTSBURGH:
Big move here is on the total…as the opener of 47 has been bet up to 49
because of the likelihood of a shootout. Pittsburgh played that high
scoring game in Seattle last week, and had one not too long ago at home
vs. Oakland as well. The team side line is a fairly solid Pittsburgh -7,
though some stores are looking at -7.5 to see if that brings in Colts
money. Plenty of time for stories to develop in this Sunday night
attraction.
MONDAY NIGHT
DALLAS AT WASHINGTON:
Even though Dallas looked horrible on Thanksgiving…and then lost Tony
Romo for the season…Sharps took them as a dog here at the opening line
of +5. Washington just isn’t seen as a team you can trust as a favorite,
even if they currently lead the NFC East. We’re seeing a solid
Washington -4 everywhere right now. The public is much less likely to
lay points with this favorite than most other teams in a Monday Nighter.
Will they take shorthanded Dallas? I’ll be very interested to see what
game day action looks like. Everybody wants to bet the Monday
Nighter…but it could prove tough for the public to pull the trigger on
either side.

Who cares who the Sharps have. Why do people care who the Sharps have? They lose just like we all do. They had Detroit last Thursday. How did that turn-out? But really. Why do you and people care? I don't. If and when I lose, it's going to be because of a game that I PICKED. Not some rich dude I don't know nor care to know. It's my wager and my wager only. Why the man-love for "wise-guys' and 'sharps"???? They lose too
