The NFL is back in action for Week 5 with London football getting Sunday morning started. Falcons-Jets isn’t exactly the best that we could offer overseas, but the 9:30 a.m. kickoff will still be well-attended and do solid ratings in the US. People love them some football.
As we get ready for the 1 p.m. kickoffs, we’ve got a rundown of betting splits from DraftKings Sportsbook. The table below includes splits for the spread, total, and moneyline wagering across the week. It’s important to note that the lines have moved throughout the week, so all the handle and bets are not based on that number, but rather the full movement since the lines re-opened on Sunday.
The most overwhelming betting is on the Titans as they head to Jacksonville to face a brutal Jaguars squad. Jacksonville has had some positive moments that indicate a win could happen, but Urban Meyer has this team in a position where I don’t think anybody would be surprised if they finished the season 0-17. Heading into game day, 92% of all point spread handle and 86% of total bets are on the Titans to cover. Tennessee is a four-point road favorite as of this article publishing.
The most conflicted game is Broncos-Steelers in Pittsburgh. The Steelers are two-point home dogs and the betting this week has been split. As of Sunday morning, the Broncos are getting 51% of the handle while the Steelers are getting 55% of the total bets.
The most significant split for total betting is not a surprising one. The Bills-Chiefs point total sits at 56 points and most of the betting is on the over — 87% of the handle and 81% of total bets. Fifty-six is a big number, but few teams can score like the Bills and Chiefs. Neither team runs a considerable pace per play, ranking 28th and 13th in seconds per play, respectively, per Football Outsiders. However, the teams are currently tied for third-most points in the league. The Bills currently run the second-most plays per game while the Chiefs rank 18th.
