by Oddsmakers lists six of the home teams as betting favorites for Week 15 in SI Sportsbook’s Perfect 10 competition.
Week 14 was a chalk Sunday in the NFL as the favorites went 7-4 in a row (SU), but the underdogs led the week by scoring 7-4 against the spread (ATS). Texans (+17), Jets (+9.5) and Broncos (+8.5) are hailed as heavyweights against their numbers, while Panthers (+165), Jaguars (+150), Ravens (+110) and Chargers (+ 140) all came up with cash at solid plus rates.
In the Perfect 10 competition, the home teams won 5-5 SUs and 4-6 ATSs.
Blindly supporting the home teams has been profitable for bettors for 14 weeks (five international matches + one neutral field game) as teams playing in front of their home fans were 110-88-3 (55.6%). Grabbing points remains a lucrative way to invest as the weaker teams retain the 111-90-6 (55.2%) ATS advantage. Betting on gold rewarded punters with a record of 116-89-2 (56.6%).
The bottom currently sits at 24-18-1 (57.1%) in all nationally televised first games, after Monday night’s Patriots-Cardinals game dropped below 44 overall.
Let’s take a quick look at the competition lines for Week 15!
