Action report from the bookmakers

Patriots vs. Lions (in Munich)

Joey Feazel, head NFL trader at Caesars Sportsbook: "Final international game of the season and we've seen one-way traffic on the Lions at this point. We saw Drake Maye really struggle with turnovers on Sunday against the Packers. Green Bay was the one underdog that won last week, but it was a public side. I expect Lions action to continue to come in. It seems like every team is having weird games against the Dolphins, but that hasn't deterred action in this one. I anticipate more money to over. Over opened 50.5 and gone to 51 based on some sharper action."

Thomas Gable, sportsbook director at The Borgata in Atlantic City: "Lions opened -1 and up to -3 right now. Total has ticked up from 49.5, up to 51. At 51, we've started to get a little under money but it was over money before that. Majority of the money is on the Lions so far. Patriots didn't look great last week."

Vikings at Packers

Feazel: "Still one-way traffic on the Packers, even after the Kirk Cousins deal. We saw some line movement off the Monday night game. Line moved from -3.5 to -5.5, and came back down on Tuesday. We saw what Packers did to Patriots last week, which will be fresh in bettors' minds."

Gable: "We are back now to the opening number. We opened Packers -3, it was up to -5 after the MNF debacle. Once Cousins came back to Minnesota, it moved to Packers -3.5, we're now sitting -3. Packers have been playing extremely well. Green Bay has been included in a lot of money-line parlays."

49ers at Cowboys

Feazel: "So far, again one-way traffic on the 49ers. We're seeing this with a lot of favorites. Usually we don't need the Cowboys, but they're playing a better team so we do need them to hang in there on Sunday. We opened 49ers -3.5, went up to -4.5, down to -3.5 and now it's settling in at 4. Very high total in this one at 55.5, got up to 56.5, and back down to 55.5 where we sit right now."

Gable: "Not a ton of movement on this game. We opened 49ers -4.5, down to -4. Total, as you would expect in this one, has gone up a bit from 55.5 to 56. A lot of public money on the over, lopsided on the total at present. More San Francisco money at the moment. 49ers in the most parlays of any team at this point."

Steelers at Bengals

Feazel: "Early Steelers action in this one, which is a little surprising despite the Bengals and Joe Burrow making his MVP case in Madrid last week. More money towards the over. We opened 48.5, seen a little over money to come up to 49.5. I anticipate big Bengals action to come in for this one."

Gable: "Opened Bengals -4, quickly went to -3.5 and stayed steady there. Total opened 48.5, now up to 49.5. A lot of public money on the Bengals here with the way Burrow has looked, which you can understand. Steelers off their bye week. I think this game will probably be the most handled game of the weekend. It already has a ton of advance handle."

Sharp action

It's always notable where respected bettors have landed on this week's games. While these prices may not currently be available at all sportsbooks, knowing where sharps have wagered can also be instructive for in-game wagering.

Yahoo Sports conversed with several bookmakers across the country, and here is where some sharp action has been (and the numbers it came in at):

  • Jaguars -10 (at Titans)

  • Colts -3 (vs. Dolphins)

  • NY Jets +8.5 (vs. Bills)

  • Cowboys +4.5, +4 (vs. 49ers)

  • Saints -1, Panthers +2.5

  • Seahawks -3.5 (at Raiders)

  • Patriots-Lions over 50.5

  • Vikings +3.5 (at Packers)

  • Steelers-Bengals over 48.5

  • Texans -3.5, -4, Texans-Browns over 38.5, 39.5

  • Chargers +5.5 (at Ravens)

Big bets

We'll be keeping track of six-figure (and larger) Week 10 NFL bets from sportsbooks, as well as if they end up cashing.
