BALTIMORE AT MIAMI:
Looks like we have a tug-of-war in play already here between Miami -2.5 and Baltimore +3. The opener of Miami -3 was hit by Ravens backers. But, Miami money comes in whenever the game drops below the critical number of three. Note that stores showing Miami -2.5 will also be taking basic strategy teaser bets from Sharps who will move Baltimore up from +2.5 to +8.5 (crossing both the 3 and 7 at one time). The opening total of 45 has been bet up to either 45.5 or 46.
PITTSBURGH AT CINCINNATI:
Basically nothing happening so far on the openers of Cincinnati -3 and 47. These teams are seen as about even by most Power Ratings. Those showing Cincinnati as slightly better might push the vigorish higher. There doesn’t seem to be enough sentiment to push the game off the key number. Sharps would fade any move off the three caused by weekend public action. Another big weekend in the AFC North with all four teams playing important games vs. other playoff contenders.
INDIANAPOLIS AT CLEVELAND:
An opener of Indianapolis -3 has been bet up to -3.5 or -4. We’ve seen this a few times already this season with the Colts on the road in this price range. Sharps will push them above the key number…and there’s no buyback after the move. A lot of Wise Guys respect Andrew Luck’s ability to win close games, making anything at -3 or better seem like a great bet. There was some talk about Johnny Manziel getting the start for Cleveland over Brian Hoyer. That didn’t pan out. Sharps don’t have the Browns Power-Rated much differently either way. Hoyer has struggled in recent weeks, and Cleveland is priced as a non-contender no matter what the standings say. Home field is worth three points, so Indy as seen as six to seven points better than Cleveland with Hoyer on a neutral field.
