Bettors at both William Hill and FanDuel are fading the under. At FanDuel, 55 percent of the tickets and 61 percent of the handle are betting the total points will exceed 51.5 points. The total is 51 at William Hill, with 51 percent of the bets and 60 percent of the money are on the over.<\/p>\n
The Texans are hoping for some good news with wide receiver Will Fuller, who has been battling a groin injury. He has not played since Dec. 21, but O\u2019Brien expects him to be a game-time decision.<\/p>\n
Seattle has been a trendy pick by some as a team that could win on the road this weekend. They are 8-1 on the road, including wins at top seed San Francisco in the regular season and at Philadelphia last weekend in the NFL Playoffs\u2019 Wild Card round.<\/p>\n
Oddsmakers responded by making the Packers only a four-point home favorite. That’s the smallest spread of any of the four games this weekend, and the betting public seems split on the game \u2013 at least from the point spread perspective.<\/p>\n
\n
At William Hill, 51 percent of the spread bets are on Seattle, but Green Bay represents 56 percent of the handle. FanDuel has seen 54 percent of its bettors take the Seahawks and the points, but again, more money, 52 percent, is on the Packers giving the points.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The moneyline at both books, though, is decisively on the Seahawks. At William Hill, 82 percent of the straight-up bets (Seattle +180\/Green Bay -210) are on Seattle, accounting for 69 percent of the money. FanDuel has written 77 percent of its moneyline bets (+172\/-200, respectively) on the Seahawks, also worth 69 percent of the handle.<\/p>\n
With temperatures forecast in the low to mid 20s, and the possibility of snow falling by the second half, oddsmakers are expecting a low-scoring affair. Both William Hill and FanDuel post the total points at 45.5.<\/p>\n
And bettors are decidedly bullish on the under. At William Hill, 80 percent of the bets and 71 percent of the money are going that way. At FanDuel, 80 percent of both the tickets and the handle are on the under as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
