It’s been a rough couple of weeks for the public betting masses.
But rest assured, they’ll be back for more in NFL Week 4 odds.
The carnage was mostly due to moneyline parlays falling apart. Last week, stunning outright losses by Cleveland, Tampa Bay, Las Vegas and San Francisco took a toll on recreational bettors.
This week, the Detroit Lions will be the final leg on countless moneyline parlays, for their Monday night game vs. the unbeaten Seattle Seahawks.
“We’re hoping parlays tied to the Lions on Monday night will die on Sunday with some upsets, like the last couple weeks,” SuperBook risk manager Casey Degnon said.
Oddsmakers and sharp bettors serve up their insights on a handful of games, as we dive into this week’s NFL betting nuggets.
NFL Rocks On FOX
FOX is home to a few interesting matchups on Sunday.
Perhaps most notable is the Philadelphia Eagles vs. the Buccaneers at 1 p.m. ET.
It’s a rematch from last season’s NFC wild-card round. Philly was a 3-point road favorite in that game and got drilled by Tampa 32-9.
This time around, the Eagles are 2-point favorites at Tampa, despite being banged up.
“The real question here is with the Eagles’ injuries. Two offensive lineman are questionable, and DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown are questionable. The Eagles offense has struggled, not having all its pieces,” Caesars Sports head of football trading Joey Feazel said.
Philadelphia squeaked out a 15-12 Week 3 win at New Orleans, scoring just two touchdowns and a 2-point conversion. And Tampa Bay is coming off a stunning 27-6 home loss to Denver.
Those results are impacting early bets on Eagles-Bucs.
“The action we are seeing is more geared toward the Under,” Feazel said, noting the total opened at 46.5 and midweek is down to 44.
