NFL Week 10 Betting Recap

NFL Week 10 Betting Recap

– The Bengals loss on the Browns on Thursday night dropped their record to 6-14 ATS in night games since 2003. Oddly enough, they boast an incredible 19-6 ATS record when playing at 4 PM Eastern Time.

– With their victory over the Rams on Sunday, the Arizona Cardinals (8-1) became the first team to clinch a season win total, going over their total.

– Yesterday we posted an article in which we recalculated our NFL win total projections based on the results to date.

– Teams getting 25% or fewer of teaser bets are 43-18 (70.5%) on the tease. Prior to this past week, teams getting 75% or more of teaser bets were 35-24 (59.3%).

– Odds on highest scoring team (via Sportsbook.com): DEN +400, GB +450, NO +750, SEA +750, BAL +1000, PIT +1000, DAL +1000, ARZ +1200, ATL +1500, DET +1500, CHI +1800, SF +2000, TB +2000, KC +2000, NYJ +2000, MIA +2500, BUF +3000, OAK +5000, STL+10000, NYG +10000, TEN +15000.

– Favorites went 9-4 ATS in Week 10 moving their season record to 75-68. Home teams went 7-5 ATS in week 10 and are now 70-70 ATS on the year. It was also a terrible week for contrarian betting with teams receiving less than 50% of spread bets posting a 3-10 ATS record.

– Each week former Caesars oddsmaker Todd Fuhrman tweets out the teams being pounded by sharp money and the teams being hammered by the less-informed public. This week the Pros went 1-4 ATS while the Joes went 2-1 ATS.
