Notable Line Movements
New York Giants -1 vs. Houston Texans
| Team | Opening Line | Current Line | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texans | -2.5 | +1 | 57% |
| Giants | +2.5 | -1 | 43% |
The sharps aren't buying what the Texans are selling. Even with better than half of all wagers coming in on Houston, the line has flipped around, with the Giants now a small favorite in most spots.
Detroit Lions -2.5 vs. Green Bay Packers
| Team | Opening Line | Current Line | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Packers | +1 | +2.5 | 71% |
| Lions | -1 | -2.5 | 29% |
It's not surprising to see the public loading up on the Packers, but the sharps are leaning towards the other side, bumping the number up.

| Team | Opening Total | Current Total | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pittsburgh Steelers | 40ov | 42ov | 40% |
| Carolina Panthers | 40un | 42un | 60% |
Even with the majority of wagers on the total in Sunday night's game coming in on the under, the number's climbed two points thanks to the smart money.
