It’s late in the 2012 NFL season and betting trends are getting more and more lopsided, a situation that provides bettors with plenty to think about.
Long streaks, both straight-up and against-the-spread are featured in just about every Week 15 game, starting with the Thursday night matchup. Cincinnati has played the Eagles eight times since 1980 and covered the spread every time!
What gives in a situation where the New York Giants have won seven in a row at Atlanta, but the Falcons have won 10 in a row at home?

Miami is favored by 8 points against the Jags, the biggest favorite number for the Dolphins since 2009. But the last seven times in this situation, they failed to cover every time.
Look at Denver. They are 9-0 SU in their past 9 games as chalk. Look at Green Bay. They have won 6 straight as a favorite (as they visit the Bears) and are 10-1 ATS in 11 games within the division.
Arizona has lost 9 straight SU overall. The Cowboys have lost 9 straight ATS at home. The Patriots have won 21 straight home games in December, while the Jets are a perfect 6-0 ATS in their past 6 games vs the Titans, which is the Monday Nighter.
The trend in Week 14 favored the chalk, as favorites went 10-6 ATS, while over-unders split 7-9 in favor of UNDERs.
