Betting Trends

Just want to make sure I'm understanding the betting trend correctly. I'm looking at the betting trends of each game and this is what I came upon.



The line for the Jets opened at -5 and has currently moved to -4.5 but 65% of the people are the Jets. Does this mean that we may smell an upset?

Should I take Seattle + 4.5 ??

Don't get too caught up in these numbers. If handicapping was that simple, the books would never make any money. People would just look at those numbers and know what to bet.

Good call bro. The only reason I really got into this was because Titans went from -3.5 to -3 again the Texans with over 80% of the people on the Titans. Just curious to know when these betting strategies apply??

Good call. Seattle is the right play. But I see Balt +4 as a stronger play because that line moved a whole point.

65% of the public on Dal -5 and has currently moved to -4.

My upsets this week are going to be:

Jax +6
Balt +4
Sea +4.5
...and maybe Oak +7
