Sunday Night Football Over/Under Pick
*Odds as of Sunday morning
Eighty-three percent of bets on the Lions vs. Texans total have come in on the over to this point.
However, professionals are pivoting toward the under instead.
Action PRO’s sharp action signal has tracked multiple steam moves on the under thus far, explaining why the total has dropped from 50.5 to 49.5 at Caesars.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market that is often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same wager at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
In addition, Action PRO’s NFL Projections set this line at 48.2, resulting in a 1.7% edge when compared to the widely available 49.5.
PRO Pick: Under 49.5 (-105) — Caesars
