MGM Race And Sports ... on TEN-NE


Very one-sided over the counter to the Patriots, who opened -13 and went to 13.5 Friday morning. Also heavy on NE teasers/parlays. MGM books lose to NE on mobile app betting too.

"We're gonna need the Titans to bust the teasers, so we're gonna need them to lose a close game."

CG Technology ... on TEN-NE


"Over the counter, as expected, all New England money." Account money slightly favors Patriots. Line opens -13, now 13.5. Among NE wagers is a $50K bet at -13.

Among Titans wagers is one of $40,000 at +13.5 and $10,000 on Tennessee moneyline. Titans opened +700 on moneyline, now +650.

"This game has the largest handle" among the weekend's four matchups. CG also seeing sharp action on OVER. For now, "CGT needs Patriots to win, but not cover, and game to stay under the total."

Bookmaker ... on TEN-NE


Contrary to CG, "As far as overall action, this game has the least interest." Opened Pats -13.5, spent most of week at 13, back to 13.5 this morning.

"The squares seem a bit hesitant to lay big spread, although the ones playing still are, but the minimal sharp interest has been on Tennessee."

On pointspread betting, "We’re fairly split as far as handle, with 55 percent of the money on New England.”

CG Technology on teaser play for Divisional Round games


"Odds normally dictate amount of teaser play. Last week, there were multiple favorites in the -7.5 to -9.5 range, which always sparks extra teaser play."

"This week, there is also extra teaser play, because Patriots are -13, which can easily be teased to 7, and the Steelers are -7 or 7.5."

"Also, there has been some semi-sharp teaser action on Philly, teasing up to +8.5 or 9.
