Notable Line Movements
Tennessee Titans +3 at Kansas City Chiefs
| Team | Opening line | Current line | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titans | +6 | +3 | 33% |
| Chiefs | -6 | -3 | 67% |
The sharps have lined up to fade the Chiefs at every opportunity, as they were widely considered to be the frauds of 2013. Even with two-thirds of all plays coming in on the Chiefs, the line has dropped by a field goal from where it opened.
New Orleans Saints -3 at Atlanta Falcons
| Team | Opening line | Current line | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saints | +1.5 | -3 | 79% |
| Falcons | -1.5 | +3 | 21% |
This line opened with the Falcons installed as 2-point favorites in some spots, but sharps and the public have jumped on the Saints, swinging the number all the way around. A rebound from the Falcons is expected, but not everyone is buying in.
Chicago Bears -6.5 vs. Buffalo Bills
| Team | Opening line | Current line | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bills | +6 | +6.5 | 9% |
| Bears | -6 | -6.5 | 91% |
Money has poured in on the Bears, with 91 percent of action coming in on Chicago, but books know that the sharp money is going to come pouring in on the Bills if the number hits seven.
