Alright, it's 11 AM and the books are already counting your money. Let's make sure they earn it today.
BAL at CLE (1 PM): Biggest story of the day. Lamar Jackson (Ravens QB) is OUT with an ankle. That line opened BAL -6.5 and is sitting BAL -3 now. Total dropped from 44.5 to 39.5. The books know something. Teven Jenkins (Browns G) is also out with a back, and Quinshon Judkins (Browns RB) is questionable with a foot. Both sides banged up, but losing a franchise QB on the road is the headline.
CAR at PHI (1 PM): Panthers come in off a bye with 14 days rest. That matters. Line opened PHI -6.5 and flipped all the way to CAR -3 on the road. Total fell from 43.5 to 39.5. Monroe Freeling (Panthers OT) is doubtful with a knee and Trevor Etienne (Panthers RB) is questionable with an ankle, so the bye didn't fix everything, but that line move is impossible to ignore.
PIT at TB (1 PM): Total opened 45.5, now 38.5. That's a big swing toward the under. Antoine Winfield Jr. (Buccaneers S) is out with ribs, Benjamin Morrison (Buccaneers CB) is doubtful. Rico Dowdle (Steelers RB) and Pat Freiermuth (Steelers TE) both questionable. The books clearly expect a grind.
KC vs LAC (4:25 PM): Chiefs come out of the bye at 4-0. Line opened KC -2.5, now KC -7.5. Total dropped from 46.5 to 41.5. Joe Alt (Chargers OT) and Derwin James Jr. (Chargers S) are both out. Rested Chiefs, crippled Chargers. The market moved hard and fast here.
The books don't do us any favors, brothers and sisters — they moved these lines before most of us had coffee. Which of these edges are you acting on today?
