*NFL odds as of Thursday morning
Week 3 of the 2023 NFL preseason gets underway with a Thursday night doubleheader.
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Atlanta Falcons gets the action started at 7:30 p.m. ET, followed by Indianapolis Colts vs. Philadelphia Eagles 30 minutes later.
When it comes to spread tickets, Steelers vs. Falcons is driving very balanced action heading into tonight’s matchup.
But when we dig a little deeper, the real money wagered tells a much different story.
Let me explain.
NFL Pick for Thursday’s Steelers vs Falcons
Pittsburgh opened as a 3.5-point favorite against Atlanta and this spread actually dipped to Steelers -3 on Monday afternoon.
However, a steady flow of large wagers coming in on Mike Tomlin’s squad has stretched this line to -4.5 as of the time of writing.
The Action Network’s NFL public betting data is reporting that Pittsburgh has attracted 78% of the money thus far, but on just 50% of the tickets.
This suggests that while bettors are essentially split 50/50 on this spread, the Steelers are inspiring the bigger wagers, resulting in the much more lopsided money splits.
In reaction, oddsmakers had no choice but to increase Pittsburgh’s price in order to stem the flow of Steelers loot bombarding the market.
While this spread has settled in at -4.5 (-110), some shops have pushed the vig out to -115, so be sure to shop for the best NFL odds if laying the points in this Thursday night matchup.
