Mad Bets: Line Movement to watch in Week 10

Minty Bets & Matt Gothard talk about the games with the most significant line movement in Week 10 of the 2020 NFL season.

Video Transcript

MINTY BETS: Every week in the NFL we notice some crazy line movement. So we thought we'd go over some of the ones that stuck out to us the most for week 10. We're going to go over three games in this segment. Let's start with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers versus the Carolina Panthers. Now, the Bucs opened as six point favorites, and now their favorites of 5 and 1/2 points. Why is this one interesting, Matt?

MATT GOTHARD: Well, when you look at it and you see half a point, you probably don't think that's that big of a movement. But when you actually look at the news and you see the Christian McCaffrey's not playing, it's very interesting that this line is moving towards the Panthers and not the Bucs. And then when you break down the money, it gets even more interesting because 96% of the money is on Tampa Bay.

So the Panthers lost Christian McCaffrey. Everybody's betting against them. So why does Vegas want more action against the Panthers? It's very interesting-- very, very interesting.

MINTY BETS: All righty. Well, let's move on to the next one. My favorite game on the board here-- the Rams versus the Seahawks. Now, the Rams opened up as two-point favorites, and now they're 1 and 1/1-point favorites. I already hopped on the Seahawks plus 2 and the money line. So tell us about this game.

MATT GOTHARD: Well, it's a good thing you got it at plus 2 because when you look at this, it's a little bit of the opposite of what's happening for the Panthers. A lot of money's coming in on the Seahawks. And you can see that is bringing the line down.

So if you like the Rams, you might want to wait until Sunday as the line might come down to pick them. If you like the Seahawks, you might want to jump on this as soon as you can because it seems like that line is on the move. And everybody loves Russell Wilson.

MINTY BETS: All right, and the last one-- Monday Night Football between the Vikings and the Bears. Now, the Vikings opened up as two-point underdogs, and now they're favored as high as two points now. What about this one, Matt? What do you have to say about this one?

MATT GOTHARD: It'll be really interesting to see on Monday night if this is justified because I think a lot of people are overvaluing the Vikings in this situation because of how bad the Bears offense looked. 85% of the money coming in on the Vikings right now, and I that is why this line has moved.

There hasn't been major injuries or anybody being held from this game because of COVID. So it has to be based on the action that they're taking. But like I said, it'll be very interesting to see if we really think that the Bears should be underdogs in this one.
