Bookmakers Review spoke with the lines management team at popular offshore sportsbook BookMaker to get a sense of how the sharp money is divided for this weekend’s NFL divisional round playoff games.
Most Bet Game – Houston Texans vs. Kansas City Chiefs
The Houston Texans have their work cut out for them as they square off against the Chiefs in Kansas City.
The line opened at -8 at offshore sportsbooks in favor of the Chiefs and has been bet up to -9.5.
“For every bet we take on the Texans, we are seeing twice as much come in on KC. The opening line of -8 has been driven up to -9.5. Early Sharp money is strongly behind KC. Over 41.5 remains a popular play with twice the handle on a high scoring affair, while sharp money seems largely disinterested currently.”
Most Bet Team: Detroit Lions
The Lions are playing their best football under Dan Campbell’s leadership and look to advance to the NFC Championship game if they can get past Jayden Daniels and the Commanders.
“Washington in shaping up to be one of our biggest needs for the weekend. Despite seeing a little sharp money on the Commanders, we are buried in bets on the Lions. Despite the line going from -9 to -10 the public can’t seem to get enough of Detroit. 77% of the handle is currently on over 55.5, despite a slight lean from sharp money on the Under.”
Least Bet Game: Los Angeles Rams vs. Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles are the least bet team of the weekend at BookMaker.
“62% of the handle, including Sharp money, is currently on the Rams. We currently have twice as much handle on Over 44 vs the Under.”
Baltimore Ravens vs. Buffalo Bills
“65% of the handle is currently on the Bills. Sharp money is currently sitting this one out thus far. The Total of 51.5 is almost split right down the middle currently.”
