Thursday Selections ...

My 60 Dime selection is a 2-Team 7-point Teaser on Western Kentucky and Bills/Browns Under. The current line on these games is -7 1/2 and 41 in Vegas and offshore. I advise taking WKU down to -1/2 and Bills/Browns total up to 48 and go Under. Be sure to shop around for the best line available.

My 20 Dime selection is on the Dodgers/Braves Under the posted total. The current line on the game is 6. Please specify Kershaw and Medlen at the time of wager. Be sure to shop around for the best line available.

Where the action is: Books dread 4-point finish in Cleveland

The Buffalo Bills visit the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football. Sure, it’s not the sexiest matchup on the schedule, but games like these are why we bet on sports.

We talk to sportsbooks about the action coming in on the Thursday nighter, getting info on the sharp and public money, recent adjustments and where the odds could end up come kickoff:

Buffalo Bills at Cleveland Browns – Open: -3, Move: -4.5, Move: -3.5

Books opened Cleveland between -3 and -3.5 last Sunday. Those who went with the straight field-goal spread took immediate sharp money on the Browns, hanging a hook on the Thursday night line.

Action slowly came in on both sides during the week, but the public started leaning toward the home side forcing books to go to -4.5. According to Michael Stewart of CarbonSports.ag, wiseguys came back on the Bills Thursday morning, trimming the line to -4.

“Four is the right number on this game and I can't imagine us moving off that number any time soon,” Stewart tells Covers. “Action has been great, with sharps and the public on both sides. So again, no need to move it.”

Aron Black of Bet365.com says action on the Bills is now outnumbering money on the Browns at a 2/1 rate. Buffalo is also taking the majority of moneyline bets as well, sitting at +165 to win outright Thursday night.

“I don’t think many would have had both these teams at .500 for this game,” says Black. “The Browns defense has to keep the run at bay and hope that they can start to get their ground game going against a weak run defense in Buffalo.”

As for Thursday total, books opened the number at 41.5 and took instant action on the Under, bringing the over/under down to 40.5. Buffalo is 2-2 O/U on the year while Cleveland is 1-3 O/U. The Under has cashed in four of their last five meetings.

“Basically tonight’s a great game to book solid two-way action on both the side and the total,” says Stewart. “We'll make money on this game as long as it doesn't land on four.”
