Bills-Rams line jumps the fence for Week 1; O/U 52
The Buffalo Bills are currently -1 point road favorites in Week 1 over the Los Angeles Rams, with an O/U of 52 points, per BettingPros consensus odds... View More
Betting Impact:
It is rare for a defending Super Bowl champion to be home underdogs in the first week, but that is how much respect oddsmakers have for the Bills, who are the favorites to win the Super Bowl. This line has jumped the fence from when the odds were first released, as Los Angeles was -1 point favorites at most sportsbooks. Buffalo went 11-6 SU in the regular season and 10-7-2 ATS overall last year, while Los Angeles was 12-5 heading into the playoffs, and finished 10-11 ATS.

Good two-way action on the Rams-Bengals over/under
DraftKings Sportsbook is reporting good two-way action on the over/under for the Super Bowl matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams... View More
Betting Impact:
Per DraftKings, the over of 48.5 points has attracted 56% of the bets and 54% of the money thus far. The sportsbook has to love the early two-way action on this over/under, and they similarly have little liability on the point spread odds at the moment as well. However, there is still a week's worth of betting action that could significantly alter these splits, and move the lines accordingly. From a moneyline perspective, Cincinnati's +170 moneyline odds have attracted 66% of the bets and 51% of the money to this point.

Betting Impact:
Per DraftKings, Cincinnati's +4.5 point spread has received 63% of the bets and 53% of the handle thus far. The early betting splits suggests the slightly larger wagers to this point have backed the favored Rams.

Bengals look to continue winning streak against winning teams when facing the Rams

Betting Impact:
Despite this winning streak, the Bengals are +165 moneyline underdogs, per BettingPros consensus odds.

In addition, many sportsbooks listed them with 200-1 odds before the season started to win the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Los Angeles has gotten off to fast starts lately. The Rams have won the first quarter in five of their last six games at SoFi Stadium, and have been the first team to score 20 points in each of their last nine games.

After opening as -4.5 point favorites, the Rams have been bet down to -4, per DraftKings Sportsbook. This initial line movement happened late Sunday night and the Rams were quickly bet back to -4.5. However, overnight the spread has come back down to -4, which suggests Bengals backers are going to continually back the underdogs if this number reappears at +4.5.

The Los Angeles Rams have opened as -4.5 point favorites for their Super Bowl LVI matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, with an over/under of 49.5 points, per DraftKings Sportsbook... View More
Betting Impact:
The Bengals and Rams should both be considered fortunate to be playing in the Super Bowl, as this was the second time in the Super Bowl era (since 1966) that both conference championship game winners came back from double-digit deficits. Furthermore, per ESPN Stats and Info, the Rams had been 0-14 under Sean McVay when trailing by ten or more points entering the fourth quarter, including 0-4 this season. Los Angeles will attempt to become the second consecutive team to win the Super Bowl in their home stadium, after no team even played in their home stadium in the Super Bowl through the game's first 54 years.

San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams (ankle) is questionable for the NFC Championship game against the Los Angeles Rams... View More
Betting Impact:
Williams is one of the most vital members of the 49ers offensive line. The good news for San Francisco is wide receiver Deebo Samuel has been removed from the injury report and will be a full-go for Sunday. Los Angeles will have their own left tackle, Andrew Whitworth, available after he missed last week's win over Tampa Bay.

However, it has once again moved toward the under, and now currently sits at 46 points.

Fellow running backs D'Onta Foreman and Dontrell Hilliard held down the fort well in Henry's absence, combining for 916 rushing yards and five touchdowns in nine games.

Early money 2/1 on the over in the Bengals-Titans matchup
Based on the betting splits at DraftKings Sportsbook, the over is getting slightly more betting attention than the under in the Divisional Round matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Tennessee Titans... View More
Betting Impact:
Per DraftKings, the over of 47 points has attracted 66% of the bets and 68% of the money thus far. From a moneyline perspective, Cincinnati has been a very trendy 'dog, as their +155 moneyline odds have attracted 60% of the bets and 66% of the money. Thus, it would appear as if the sportsbook will be rooting hard for a Titans outright win on Saturday.

Early money slightly favors the Titans over the Bengals
Based on the betting splits at DraftKings Sportsbook, the favored Tennessee Titans are getting slightly more betting attention in their Divisional Round matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals... View More
Betting Impact:
Per DraftKings, Tennessee's -3.5 point spread has received 47% of the bets and 61% of the handle thus far. Though the sportsbook is likely happy with the early two-way action, the fact that the larger wagers have come in on the favorites is on their radar and is something they will continue to monitor. This line still has room to move based on the playing status of Titans running back Derrick Henry.

Titans' Henry passes test with contact practice ahead of matchup with Bengals
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry practice with contact yesterday, and the team reportedly was pleased with how he went through all the drills. That is a big step in getting him back on the field in time for Saturday's Divisional Round matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals... View More
Betting Impact:
Henry has been on injured reserve since Week 8, and while he may play Saturday, there is still a chance he is on a snap count as he works his way back from a fractured foot. The point spread for this matchup has been bet down from Tennessee -4 to -3.5 (per DraftKings), while the over/under has remained firm at 47 points. However, if Henry were to be announced as active, there would likely be a reaction from bettors that could drive the point spread up.

Early money almost 3/1 on the over in the Rams-Buccaneers matchup
DraftKings Sportsbook is reporting one-sided betting action for Sunday's over/under in the matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers... View More
Betting Impact:
Per DraftKings, the over of 48.5 points has attracted 76% of the bets and 72% of the money thus far. While the sportsbook will be rooting for a low-scoring game based on the one-sided betting action, they will have no liability to either side of the point spread if the betting split remains similar before kickoff. From a moneyline perspective, Los Angeles is a trendy 'dog, as their +130 moneyline odds have attracted 60% of the bets and 68% of the money.

Good early two-way action on the Rams-Buccaneers point spread
DraftKings Sportsbook is reporting good two-way action on the point spread for Sunday’s Divisional Round matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs... View More
Betting Impact:
Per DraftKings, Tampa Bay's -3 point spread has received 51% of the bets and 50% of the handle thus far. Though there are still three days left before kickoff, the sportsbook is in a perfect spot at the moment, as not only do they have a perfect 50/50 split on the handle, but it does not appear as they have anything to worry about in terms of sharps making larger wagers on one side or the other. As a result, we are not likely to see this line budge off -3 based on the early betting splits.

Though Garoppolo does not appear to be in jeopardy of missing Saturday's game, the line did move in Green Bay's favor after news of his injury was released. The Packers went from -5.5 to -6 point home favorites, and the over/under dropped from 48 to 47.5, per DraftKings. In addition to Garoppolo, LB Fred Warner (ankle) also was limited at practice, while DE Nick Bosa was held out of Tuesday's practice as he continues to work through a concussion suffered last week.
