Week 3 in the NFL has a few uninviting matchups, but that hasn't stopped anyone from betting them.
Funny, maybe the two worst teams in the league, Houston and Chicago, are seeing some of our biggest action of the week. It is also worth noting, many of the games this week are seeing sharp money on one side at one number and sharp action on the other side at another number. We never move the juice on an NFL side at South Point. Everything is dealt at -110 either way, so our prices on many of these two-way games are often the very best available. Here we go. The games are presented in official Nevada rotation order. Baltimore Ravens (-2.5, 44) at New England PatriotsWe opened the Ravens -3. They took the 3 for a big bet and we went to 2.5. It has stayed there all week and we're writing a lot of Ravens business – some sharp action, too. because we are one of the only books at -2.5 (-110). Again, rather than moving the juice, we are staying at 2.5 but I have a feeling we'll get back to Ravens -3 before post time. No Patriots money showing up at + 2.5.
Buffalo Bills (-5.5, 53) at Miami DolphinsAnother interesting game here. We opened the Bills -4.5. They laid the 4.5 and I went right to 5.5. They laid that and I went to 6. We were at 6.5 briefly and they took that, so I went back to 6 and they took that, strong. Now it's 5.5. We're still writing Dolphins business but I'm getting some Bills action, too. I think the public will come in on the Bills and we'll probably get back to 6 before kickoff.
Cincinnati Bengals (-6, 45) at New York JetsWe opened this one -4.5 on Cincinnati. They laid me 4.5, and laid me 5. From 5, I went right to 6. I'm not writing any more Bengals money at 6, but I'm not getting any Jets money either. The public moved me up to 6 but the wise guys so far haven't come back yet on any + 6. I think we'll get to 6.5 before kickoff.
New Orleans Saints (-2.5, 41) at Carolina Panthers
