Without a marquee game on the Sunday schedule, sportsbooks will be relying on the overall power of the NFL to carry the day in Week 10.<\/p>\n

The most interesting game \u2013 and not just because it\u2019s one of only two games between teams with winning records \u2013 has the Buffalo Bills (7-2) at Arizona Cardinals (5-4).<\/p>\n

The Cardinals opened as 1.5-point favorites, and the line had moved to 3 on Saturday. That’s even though the public was backing the surging Bills following last week\u2019s surprising blowout of the Seattle Seahawks. By Sunday morning, the line had settled at Arizona -2.5.<\/p>\n

Even though we moved the points, we\u2019ve got Bills money,\u201d <\/strong>said Johnny Avello, the director of race and sportsbook operations for DraftKings, to Casino.org<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a case of a sharp bettor\u2019s initial move against the general public. It doesn\u2019t surprise me. The Bills are up a game-and-a-half over the Dolphins in the (AFC East), and the Cardinals are a game behind in the (NFC West), and they need this.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The total has soared from 53 to 56.5.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou look at last week\u2019s games with nobody stopping anyone. They think that trend will continue this week,\u201d<\/strong> Avello said.<\/p>\n

Last Call for 49ers?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The San Francisco 49ers almost won the Super Bowl last year and were among the favorites to win it this year<\/a>. Now, because of a roster slammed by injuries, they\u2019re 4-5 and almost out of time in the powerful NFC. A case could be made their top five players are on injured reserve. Meanwhile, the Saints (6-2) look strong with the returns of receivers Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders.<\/p>\n

Predictably, the Saints have gone from 7.5-point favorites to 9.5.<\/p>\n

This is probably the 49ers\u2019 last shot to stay in the playoff hunt. The thing about the Saints is they\u2019re 6-2 overall, but 3-5 in the spread. They\u2019re just not a good cover team. But they have been bet up to 9.5,\u201d<\/strong> Avello said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The biggest favorite of the week is Green Bay (6-2), with the Packers 14-point favorites over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The weather will be miserable \u2013 cold, rainy and windy \u2013 but the Jaguars (1-7) have lost seven straight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be in every, single moneyline parlay. The Packers will be heavily bet,\u201d<\/strong> Avello said.<\/p>\n

No Showdown on Sunday Night<\/h2>\n

The Sunday night game is usually the marquee showdown of the week. Not this one, with the Baltimore Ravens (6-2) being 7-point favorites at the New England Patriots (3-5).<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s simplistic to say, New England\u2019s demise might have settled the question of who deserved more credit for its six-championship dynasty<\/a>. While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are flourishing with quarterback Tom Brady, the Patriots are struggling under coach Bill Belichick.<\/p>\n

They were lucky to get the win against the [winless] Jets last week,\u201d <\/strong>Avello said. \u201cThey\u2019re not making the playoffs. You don\u2019t usually hear those words. That\u2019s something that\u2019s been imbedded in our lives to see this team every, single year. But it\u2019s just not going to happen this year.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Ravens are undefeated on the road and need a win to keep pace with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC South.<\/p>\n

\u201cI expect to see Ravens money on the side, Ravens moneyline money. We\u2019ll be loaded up on the Ravens,\u201d<\/strong> Avello said.<\/p>\n

Sure enough, at FanDuel, 92 percent of the money is on Baltimore, making it the most lopsided game of the week.<\/p>\n

Week 10 Schedule<\/h2>\n

Here is the full schedule, with betting lines from DraftKings. The game of the week was played Thursday, with the Indianapolis Colts beating the Tennessee Titans, meaning Tennessee fans took another beating at their new sportsbooks<\/a>.<\/p>\n
