Chiefs vs Eagles odds & picks here.Why Is Line Movement Important?Monitoring line movement is one of the best ways and strategies to check where the profit lies for NFL matchups. There are two types of bettors who frequent online sportsbooks: the public and the sharps. The betting public is those who wager on football games casually, meaning they lean toward favorites or the teams that are plastered on their television and social media ahead of game day. The sharp bettors tend to go against the grain, doing their research and finding value where not many others do. Books will shift lines depending on where the sharps are placing their bets. The sharpest bettors get their action in shortly after the odds are released, as they anticipate which way the lines will move. |
What is line movement in sports betting?
Line movement refers to when the odds or the point spread for a bet change leading up to the game, and it's worth paying attention to. A drastic change in line movement means the public is betting on one side to win.
For example, if the Seahawks open as 7-point favorites on Monday but sit at 3.5-point favorites Sunday, then it means the public placed more money on their opponent to win, thus moving the spread closer to EVEN.
Who is the Super Bowl betting favorite?
Super Bowl 57 opened with pick 'em odds before things went nuts. The first hour was a scramble, with KC taking a -1.0 edge before the line reverted to pick 'em and later the Eagles ran away with it, getting as high as -2.5. On the final Friday before the big game, we've got the Eagles -1.5.
