The New York Jets have never been listed as double-digit home underdogs in the history of the OddsShark NFL Database (which goes back to 1980), but that run looks like it is about to end as they prepare to host the Denver Broncos on Sunday afternoon.
The Jets opened as just 6-point home underdogs against Peyton Manning and company for Sunday's matchup, but heading into the weekend that line had moved to New York +10 at some sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The Jets are just 1-4 SU and 0-4-1 ATS on the season, and are expected to be in over their heads against the 3-1 SU (1-3 ATS) Broncos this week.

There's also been a big shift in the Detroit vs. Minnesota matchup for Sunday, with the Vikings Sportsbook as 3-point home underdogs but sitting as 1-point home favorites as of Friday afternoon. Lions star wide receiver Calvin Johnson has missed practice this week with his ankle injury and is considered very questionable to play on Sunday. Detroit is 3-2 both SU and ATS; Minnesota is 2-3 both SU and ATS.
Elsewhere, the Patriots vs. Bills game in Buffalo opened as a pick'em but New England has moved to anywhere from a 1-point to a 3-point road favorite at various sportsbooks over the past few days. Pittsburgh at Cleveland opened with the Browns 2-point favorites, but that line has since shifted to a pick'em on the online boards.
Seattle has grown slightly from an 8.5-point favorite to a 9.5-point favorite at home against Dallas for Sunday, with Tennessee going from -6 to -4 at home against Jacksonville, and Arizona going from -4 to -2.5 at home against Washington. For Sunday night the Eagles have lost a little bit of support, falling from -3 to -2.5 at home against the division-rival Giants.
