Falcons at Ravens odds
Opening line
Ravens -7, 40.5 O/U
Why the line moved
9:53 A.M. ET, FRIDAY, DEC. 23: Ravens' quarterback Lamar Jackson has officially been ruled out and Tyler Huntley, despite being listed as Questionable, is on track to start Saturday's game at home against the Falcons. With no chance of a surprise Lamar start, sportsbooks have shortened the pointspread from Baltimore -7/-7.5 to -6.5. The total is down from 35.5/36 to 34.5.
Previous Falcons at Ravens action
11:18 A.M. ET, THURSDAY, DEC. 22: Ravens' quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) has yet to practice this week and, in a surprising news dump, potential Week 16 starter Tyler Huntley was limited at practice Wednesday with a right shoulder issue. The industry is split as of Thursday morning, with some books dealing Ravens -7 and others at -7.5. The total is down from 37.5 to 35.5/36.
10:56 A.M. ET, TUESDAY, DEC. 20: There is still plenty of buzz about the potential return to the field of Ravens' quarterback Lamar Jackson for Week 16 at home against the Falcons. Bettors are hearing that buzz, as action has forced sportsbooks to add the hook from Ravens -7 to -7.5. The total is at 37.5 as of Tuesday morning.
3:17 P.M. ET, MONDAY, DEC. 19: The status of Ravens' star quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) is still very much in doubt as we start the betting cycle for Week 16. Reports late last week indicated that the team is hoping he will return to practice this week and be able to start against the Falcons. Sportsbook opened Baltimore as 7-point home favorites with a total of 40.5. The spread is holding at most books, but the total is down to 37/37.5 as of Monday.
Lions at Panthers odds
Opening line
Panthers +3, 44 O/U
Why the line moved
10:00 A.M. ET, FRIDAY, DEC. 23: As of Friday morning, the pointspread for this Sunday afternoon game is holding at Lions -2.5. Sportsbooks are taking a lot of action on the Lions, so there is a chance this number gets to -3 by kickoff. BetMGM is reporting 85% of the bets and 79% of the money wagered on the road favorite Lions. The total is holding at 43.5/44.
Previous Lions at Panthers action
11:01 A.M. ET, TUESDAY, DEC. 20: After threatening to move after opening at Lions -3 on Sunday evening, the pointspread for this Saturday afternoon game has made the move to -2.5 at most sportsbooks. The total is down from 45 to 43.5/44 as of Tuesday morning.
10:00 P.M. ET, SUNDAY, DEC. 18: Detroit opened as 3-point road favorite coming off a big win over the Jets in Week 15, and Carolina falling short at home to Pittsburgh. The Panthers are expensive field goal home dogs, indicating a potential move to +2.5 if money shows on Carolina, which has held a soft spot with sharps all season. This total opened at 44 points and is up to 45 at some respected online books.
Bills at Bears odds
Opening line
Bears +9, 42 O/U
Why the line moved
10:49 A.M. ET, SATURDAY, DEC. 24: It's gameday morning and the pointspread for this chilly contest at Soldier Field has slimmed from Friday's number of Bills -8.5 to -8. Books have taken some big bets on the Bears, with shops like DraftKings reporting 56% of the bets and 81% of the money wagered on the home underdogs. The total is at 40/40.5.
Previous Bills at Bears action
10:06 A.M. ET, FRIDAY, DEC. 23: After slimming to as low as Bills -8 on Thursday, the pointspread for this Saturday afternoon game is back up to -8.5 at most books as of Friday. BetMGM is at -8.5 and is reporting 71% of the bets and 77% of the money wagered on the Bills. The total is at 40/40.5 with cold temperatures and gusty winds in the forecast for Soldier Field.
11:43 A.M. ET, THURSDAY, DEC. 22: The pointspread for this Saturday afternoon game has slimmed from Bills -9 to -8 at most sportsbooks. The total is also down from Wednesday's 40/40.5 to 39.5. There are clear skies in the forecast for Soldier Field on Saturday, but temperatures will be in the single-digits with winds blowing at 25 MPH (gusts 30-35 MPH). Keep your eyes on all potential weather issues on our NFL Weather page.
10:35 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 21: As of Wednesday morning, the pointspread for this Saturday afternoon game has lengthened slightly from Bills -8.5 to Bills -9 at most sportsbooks. The total is down slightly from Monday's 41 to 40/40.5.
3:26 P.M. ET, MONDAY, DEC. 19: After opening as high as Bills -10 at some books, the pointspread for this Christmas Eve day game has nestled in at -8.5 as of Monday morning. The total is down slightly from Sunday evening's 43 to Monday afternoon's 41.
10:00 P.M. ET, SUNDAY, DEC. 18: The spread for this non-conference clash opened anywhere between Bills -8.5 and Bills -10, but the market seems to be settling in at Buffalo -9 in the first couple hours of action. The Bills have a rest edge after playing at home on Saturday, while Chicago is coming off a very physical game with Philadelphia on Sunday. This total is sitting as high as 43 points. The extended forecast for Chicago is calling for extreme cold (feels like -8 degrees) and wind gusts getting up to 40 mph in Solider Field.
Saints at Browns odds
Opening line
Browns -3, 35.5 O/U
Why the line moved
10:17 A.M. ET, FRIDAY, DEC. 23: As of Friday morning, most sportsbooks are dealing Browns -3 for this messy Saturday afternoon contest. The total is at 32/32.5, which will be the lowest Over/Under of the season in the NFL. The weather forecast for Cleveland is calling for 1-2 inches of snow with wind gusts reaching 50-60 MPH, so blowing snow will be an issue. Keep your eyes on all potential weather issues on our NFL Weather page.
Previous Saints at Browns action
10:38 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 21: The Browns are -2.5 or -3 for this Saturday afternoon game in Cleveland as of Wednesday morning. The big story with this game remains the potential for terrible weather conditions, which brings with it (as of right now) the lowest betting total in the NFL since Bengals at Browns in 2008 (31). After reaching as low as 31.5 on Tuesday afternoon, there has been a bit of buyback on the Over as the Over/Under is up slightly to 32.5. Local news in Cleveland is still uncertain how much snow they'll actually see Saturday afternoon, but either way the wind will still be a big problem with gusts reaching 50-60 MPH. Keep your eyes on all potential weather issues on our NFL Weather page.
3:30 P.M. ET, MONDAY, DEC. 19: As of Monday afternoon, the pointspread for this matchup between the Saints and Browns is holding at Cleveland -3. But the real talking point with this game is the weather and the microscopic Over/Under number. After opening at 35.5 (already the lowest total of the season) and falling to 34.5 on Sunday night, the number is way down as low as 32/32.5 as of Monday afternoon. The forecast is still calling for ridiculous weather conditions all weekend in Ohio. Keep your eyes on all potential weather issues on our NFL Weather page.
10:00 P.M. ET, SUNDAY, DEC. 18: This total opened at 35.5 points, which is the shortest Over/Under of the entire 2022 season, and should it close at that number or smaller, it will be the shortest total since December 2019. Neither team is pumping out the points the past month and a half and the forecast for Cleveland is calling for nasty winter weather on Saturday, with snow showers, temperatures dipping well below freezing and wind gusts up to 60 mph. That has this total down as low as 34.5 points on Sunday night. Cleveland opened as a 3-point favorite and is as high as -3.5, with early play siding with the run-heavy Browns versus a NOLA team used to playing in a dome.
Seahawks at Chiefs odds
Opening line
Chiefs -9.5, 48 O/U
Why the line moved
10:58 A.M. ET, SATURDAY, DEC. 24: As kickoff approaches the pointspread for this Saturday afternoon game is at Chiefs -10, but there are a few books flirting with -10.5 (juiced to the underdogs). DraftKings is reporting some big bets on Kansas City, with 66% of their pointspread bets on the Seahawks but an even 50/50 split on money wagered. The total is up slightly from 49/49.5 to 50.5.
Previous Seahawks at Chiefs action
10:27 A.M. ET, FRIDAY, DEC. 23: After shortening to Chiefs -9.5 earlier in the week, the pointspread for this matchup is back up to -10 as of Friday morning. The total is at 49/49.5 with frigid conditions in the forecast. Keep your eyes on all potential weather issues on our NFL Weather page.
10:50 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 21: After an early move from the opener of Chiefs -9.5 to -10 on Sunday evening, there has been a bit of buyback on the Seahawks which has driven this pointspread back down to the opener of -9.5. The total is at 49/49.5 as of Wednesday morning, with frigid conditions in the forecast. Keep your eyes on all potential weather issues on our NFL Weather page.
10:00 P.M. ET, SUNDAY, DEC. 18: The Chiefs are back home after playing three straight on the road and opened as 9.5-point chalk in this non-conference contest. Early money is backing Kansas City, driving this spread to double digits with the Seahawks reeling due to four losses in their last five games. This total opened as low as 48 points and has rocketed to as high as 50 points on Sunday night. It will be cold yet clear in Arrowhead Stadium, according to the extended forecast for Saturday.
Giants at Vikings odds
Opening line
Vikings -3.5, 47.5 O/U
Why the line moved
11:06 A.M. ET, SATURDAY, DEC. 24: The status of the pointspread for this game hasn't changed much over the last couple of days, despite seemingly steady action on the favored Vikings. Minnesota is still 4-point favorites at most sportsbooks, with a couple of outliers touching -4.5 (juiced to the underdogs). DraftKings is still reporting dominant betting action on the home side with 58% of the bets and 71% of the money wagered on the Vikings. The total is at 48.5.
Previous Giants at Vikings action
12:06 P.M. ET, THURSDAY, DEC. 22: There was a bit of movement to the pointspread for this game on Wednesday evening/Thursday morning. Sportsbooks adjusted from Vikings -3.5 to -4 (with some books touching -4.5). DraftKings is reporting 58% of the spread bets and 71% of the money wagers on the home favorite Vikes. The total is at 48.5.
10:54 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 21: As of Wednesday morning, the pointspread for this Saturday afternoon game is holding at the opener of Vikings -3.5. Covers Consensus numbers are showing a pretty even distribution of spread wagers, with 53% on the Vikings and 47% on the Giants. The total is up slightly from the opener of 47.5 to 48.5.
3:37 P.M. ET, MONDAY, DEC. 19: The Giants took down the rival Commanders, 20-12, on Sunday Night Football, while the Vikings are coming off the largest comeback in NFL history in their 39-36 overtime victory over the Colts. Sportsbooks opened the Vikings at 3.5-point home favorites with an Over/Under number of 47.5.
Bengals at Patriots odds
Opening line
Patriots +3, 40 O/U
Why the line moved
10:33 A.M. ET, FRIDAY, DEC. 23: As of Friday morning, most sportsbooks have slimmed the pointspread for this Saturday afternoon game from Bengals -3.5 to -3. BetMGM is reporting 70% of the bets and 57% of the money wagered on the Bengals, so we're definitely seeing some reverse line movement for this game. The total is at 41.5.
Previous Bengals at Patriots action
10:57 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 21: After opening at Bengals -3 and pushing as high as -4 at some books Sunday night, the pointspread for this game has settled in at -3.5 as of Wednesday morning. DraftKings is back down to the opener of -3, but they have the favorites juiced to -120 so they may just be experimenting with that key number. After an initial move down to 39, the total is up to 41.5.
10:15 P.M. ET, SUNDAY, DEC. 18: The Bengals continue their winning ways, extending the winning streak to six games with a strong second-half showing in Tampa Bay in Week 15. Cincinnati has also covered in all six of those wins and is gaining traction with the betting public, which has pumped this spread from Cincinnati -3 to as high as -4 on Sunday night. That momentum — coupled with the Patriots’ devastating loss in Las Vegas — could push this point spread even further once public players get involved. The total opened at 40 points and is down to 39 with early action on the Under.
Texans at Titans odds
Opening line
Titans -7, 40 O/U
Why the line moved
10:39 A.M. ET, FRIDAY, DEC. 23: Titans' quarterback Ryan Tannehill has officially been ruled out for Week 16 and will be replaced by QB2 Malik Willis. The Titans will also be without starting center Ben Jones which can sometimes create some issue on the offensive side of the ball. The pointspread for this game is either a heavily juiced Titans -3 or a more even -3.5. BetMGM is reporting 64% of the bets and 68% of the money wagered on Tennessee. The total is holding at 35.5.
Previous Texans at Titans action
12:32 P.M. ET, THURSDAY, DEC. 22: Not only has Titans' quarterback Ryan Tannehill not practiced yet this week with his ankle issue, but there now reports surfacing that he may be out for the rest of the season. Malik Willis would get the start in his absence. Sportsbooks middled the injury news earlier in the week, but have made the full move from the opener of Titans -7 down to -3/-3.5 as of Thursday morning. The total is down from 37/37.5 to 35.5.
11:17 A.M. ET, TUESDAY, DEC. 20: With Titans' quarterback Ryan Tannehill dealing with a bum ankle, his status for Saturday's game is very much in doubt. Sportsbooks have adjusted the betting numbers to protect themselves - moving the pointspread from Titans -7.5 to -5/-5.5 and the total is down from 39.5 to 37/37.5. Head coach Mike Vrabel did say that Tannehill would start if he's able to go, but it's a short week so we'll have to wait and see.
10:15 P.M. ET, SUNDAY, DEC. 18: Despite putting up a fight as big underdogs vs. Dallas and Kansas City the past two weeks, early money is fading Houston and the points in Week 16. The Texans opened as 7-point pups in Tennessee and that spread tacked on a half-point hook with early opinions on the Titans. The Texans have multiple injuries to skill players and a musical chair at quarterback. Tennessee is coming off a tight loss at L.A. and desperately needs a win to snap a four-game slide and stay in the postseason hunt in the AFC South. This total is down to 39.5 points. FYI: keep an eye on the health of Tennessee QB Ryan Tannehill, who took a beating in the loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
Commanders at 49ers odds
Opening line
49ers -6.5, 41 O/U
Why the line moved
11:16 A.M. ET, SATURDAY, DEC. 24: It's gameday morning and the industry consensus on the pointspread is 49ers -6.5. There are a couple of outliers hanging on at -7, but they are heavily juiced on the Commanders side so their move to -6.5 could be coming. The total is at 37.5 as of Saturday morning.
Previous Commanders at 49ers action
10:45 A.M. ET, FRIDAY, DEC. 23: As of Friday morning, the pointspread for this Saturday afternoon contest is a mix of 49ers -6.5 (juiced to the favorites) and -7 (juiced to the underdog Commanders). BetMGM is reporting pretty even betting action, with 54% of the bets and 53% of the money wagered on the visiting underdogs. The total is down from 38/38.5 to 37.5.
11:04 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 21: After hitting the board at 49ers -6.5 and bumping up slightly at a few books to -7 on Monday afternoon, Niners -7 is definitely the consensus position as of Wednesday morning - with a few books flirting with the hook to -7.5. Covers Consensus numbers are showing 65% of the pointspread wagers on the side of the home favorites. The total is down from 39.5 to 38/38.5.
3:43 P.M. ET, MONDAY, DEC. 19: The 49ers are coming off a mini-bye after taking down the Seahawks, 21-13, on Thursday night, while the Commanders are coming off a 20-12 loss at the hands of the rival Giants on Sunday Night Football. Sportsbooks opened the Niners as 6.5-point home favorites and some key books have lengthened the pointspread to the key number of -7. The total hit betting boards at 41 and is down to 39.5 at most shops as of Monday afternoon.
Eagles at Cowboys odds
Opening line
Cowboys -1, 50 O/U
Why the line moved
11:23 A.M. ET, SATURDAY, DEC. 24: There has been no change to the pointspread since the initial move from Cowboys -6 to -4.5 in the wake of the official Jalen Hurts news. DraftKings is reporting 75% of the bets and 68% of the money wagered on the Eagles, and there are similar reports from other keys books across the industry on Saturday morning. The total is up from 46.5 to 47.5/48 depending on the book.
Previous Eagles at Cowboys action
10:50 A.M. ET, FRIDAY, DEC. 23: Eagles' head coach Nick Sirianni announced Thursday that Jalen Hurts is officially out and Gardner Minshew will get the start at quarterback. Betting action is coming in heavily on the Eagles and the pointspread for this Saturday game has slimmed from Cowboys -6 to -4.5 as of Friday morning. BetMGM is reporting 68% of the bets and 60% of the money wagered on the road underdog Eagles. The total is at 46.5.
12:40 P.M. ET, THURSDAY, DEC. 22: Eagles' head coach Nick Sirianni said Thursday morning that he doesn't expect starting quarterback Jalen Hurts to be available Saturday afternoon in Dallas. Books have adjusted the pointspread back to their largest number of the week to Cowboys -6 and the total is at 46.5/47. Gardner Minshew will get the start in Hurts' place.
11:19 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 21: The initial market reaction to the "Jalen Hurts will likely not play" news was a pointspread move from Cowboys -1.5/-2 to -5.5/-6. Since that move to as high as -6 there has been some buyback on the Eagles, forcing books to shorten the spread slightly to -4.5/-5. The total is at 47 as of Wednesday morning.
9:27 A.M. ET, TUESDAY, DEC. 20: News broke late Monday that Eagles' quarterback Jalen Hurts suffered a sprained shoulder in Sunday's win over the Chicago Bears, putting his status for Week 16 very much in doubt. Head coach Nick Sirianni called the injury "not something we deem to be long term" but he appears to be leaning towards starting backup QB Gardner Minshew this Sunday in Dallas. Sportsbooks have lenthened the pointspread in the wake of this news, from Cowboys -1.5/-2 to -5.5/-6. The total is down from 51.5 to 46.5 as of Tuesday morning.
10:30 P.M. ET, SUNDAY, DEC. 18: This is the biggest game in the NFC this season, with the Eagles looking to not only lock up the NFC East but also the No. 1 seed in the conference. Dallas, coming off a bad showing vs. Houston two weeks ago and an OT loss at Jacksonville on Sunday, opened as a 1-point favorite and has since climbed to as high as -2 with early play on the host team. Philadelphia has won five straight outings but is playing its third straight road game on a short week on Xmas Eve. This total opened at 50 points and has ticked up to 51.5 at respected online books.
Raiders at Steelers odds
Opening line
Steelers -2, 40.5 O/U
Why the line moved
11:30 A.M. ET, SATURDAY, DEC. 24: The pointspread for tonight's Christmas Eve primetime game has slimmed from Steelers -2/-2.5 to -1.5/-2.

Keep your eyes on all potential weather issues on our NFL Weather page.
11:24 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 21: As of Wednesday morning, the pointspread for this Christmas Eve game is at Steelers -3 at most books, with a few shops still holding on at the lower number of -2.5. Less than a field goal seems like where this number will settle as the week goes on. The total is down from the opener of 40.5 to 38.5.
10:15 P.M. ET, SUNDAY, DEC. 18: Pittsburgh opened as a 2-point home chalk hosting Las Vegas for an 8:15 p.m. Christmas Eve kickoff. Early play is on the Steelers, pushing this spread to -2.5. Not only is Vegas on the road but playing in sub-zero temperatures Saturday night, with the extended forecast calling for possible snow showers, wind gusts up to 23 mph, and “Feels Like” temperatures at -12 degrees. This total hit the board at 40.5 points. Pittsburgh is waiting on the status of rookie QB Kenny Pickett, who sat out Week 15 with a concussion.
Packers at Dolphins odds
Opening line
Miami -5.5, 46.5 O/U
Why the line moved
11:45 A.M. ET, SATURDAY, DEC. 24: The pointspread for this Christmas Day game is at Dolphins -3.5 across the board as of Saturday morning. BetMGM is reporting 60% of the bets and 64% of the money wagered on the road underdog Packers. The total is at 49.5/50.

DraftKings is one of the shops at -3.5, but the move doesn't make much sense since they're reporting 63% of the bets and 55% of the money wagered on Miami. The total is holding at 49.5.
11:34 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 21: After opening at Dolphins -5/-5.5, the pointspread for this Chrismas Day game is down to -4/-4.5 as of Wednesday morning. The total is up to 49.5 after opening as low as 46.5.
11:25 A.M. ET, TUESDAY, DEC. 20: The Packers looked pretty good at home in their 24-12 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football, and the Dolphins come into this Week 16 game off a 32-29 loss at the hands of the Buffalo Bills on Saturday night. Sportsbooks were a bit mixed on this opening pointspread, with some dealing Dolphins -5 and others at -5.5.

11:45 A.M. ET, TUESDAY, DEC. 20: After opening as low as Buccaneers -3 on Sunday night, the pointspread for this Christmas Day game has made a couple of big moves - first to -5 almost immediately, and then all of the way to -6.5 as of Tuesday morning.

10:45 P.M. ET, SUNDAY, DEC. 18: Arizona opened as low as +3 at home to Tampa Bay on Christmas Day and early money pushed the Bucs as high as 5-point road favorites, despite the Bucs' disastrous second half against Cincinnati on Sunday.
