sharonorn

How people did in the Week 15 odds market  be it bettors or bookmakers  varied depending on the vantage point. Consensus deemed it good for the books that the mopped the floor with the . And for some oddsmakers, that was enough to make their day.But with the , and winning, too, bettors did some damage. And more fallout could be coming in the form of the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night.Oddsmakers from Las Vegas and acro s the country help rehash the weekend that was in NFL and college football betting.Let's dive into the action.ADVERTISEMENT  Bills Buffalo CowboysAs good as the Ravens, Chiefs or the are, its almost a certainty that, right now, none of those three teams wants a part of the Bills in the postseason. Buffalo is back on track after smacking down Dallas 31-10 as a 2.5-point home favorite.At 8-6 straight up (SU), the Bills are on the outside looking in right now, sitting ninth in the AFC. But Buffalo nearly beat in Week 12, falling in overtime, then beat K.C. on the road before rolling over Dallas.John Murray, executive director of The SuperBook, said Cowboys-Bills John Hannah Jersey  was a day-making result."This is shaping up to be a really good day for us with the Buffalo win. We did well," Murray said prior to the Ravens- Sunday night showdown. "Ravens and Over would take a bit out of the day, but we would still do well."Baltimore, a 4-point favorite, covered in its 23-7 win at Jacksonville. But the game fell well short of the 42.5 total, another win behind The SuperBook counter.Perhaps surprisingly, the one game that The SuperBook didnt do so well on was the somewhat nondescript - Randy Moss Jersey  tilt."We got over 80% of our spread tickets on the Rams. That is the most public side of the week, and its not even close," Murray said.So the book gave some back there, as well, though not enough to dent Murrays outlook on the day.The SuperBook nearly got a big boost to its weekend Saturday  instead settling for refunds on a push in Cincinnatis 20-17 win as a 3-point favorite vs. Minnesota."If the Vikings had won, wed have won a huge pile of money. No question that was the Saturday game with the most action," Murray said. "We were pretty big Vikings fans. We did fine with a push, a good day. But it couldve been a terrific day."The Bills shock Dak's Cowboys with huge blowout 31-10 win       Moneyline Parlays to MondayAt BetMGM, it was a rough Sunday for bettors who jumped on popular moneyline underdogs. Dallas topped that Ronnie Perkins Jersey  list as the most popular dog to win outright. The Cowboys were followed by Chicago, which lost at Cleveland 20-17. Bears were followed by New England, which lost to K.C. 27-17.But a significant swath of BetMGM customers had a great day in backing the Dolphins, Chiefs, 49ers and Ravens. Further, in the 4:05 p.m. ET/4:25 p.m. ET window, all three favorites won and covered  Bills, Niners and Rams."All favorites in the afternoon means no bueno for the book," BetMGM Nevadas Scott Shelton said.Added national BetMGM trader Christian Cipollini: "It was a really weird day. We got a few games to go our way, but the important ones didnt go our way. The Chiefs, Dolphins and 49ers were all bad for us, and those all roll into parlays."Which means those parlays rolled into the Ravens on Sunday night. And now, loads of those tickets are live to Philadelphia on Monday night. So Cipollini cant yet say whether BetMGM will have a good week, a bad week, or land somewhere in the middle.Making it more complicated: Seahawks QB (groin) is questionable, and news broke Sunday that Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is sick. Hurts took a separate flight to Seattle to avoid potentially getting teammates sick."We take most of the money around kickoff, so this will depend on Geno," Cipollini said. "If theres no Geno, well need the Seahawks bad. But if Geno plays and Hurts is still sick, well get more Seahawks money."Joe Flacco, Browns SHOCK Justin Fields, Bears - Dave Helman reacts       Back To SchoolThe college football bowl odds market kicked off in earnest Saturday, with six games. It wasnt the most fascinating slate because early bowl games rarely are, so oddsmakers didnt have much to say about it this weekend.But just to keep a running tally here over the next couple of weeks:Favorites went 4-2 straight upUnderdogs went 4-2 against the spreadOn totals, the Over/Under split 3-3Check back next week to see how these  Ty Montgomery Jersey trends develop.I Like Big Bets and I Cannot LiePer usual, Caesars Sports saw a fair amount of high-roller traffic this weekend. And the results were not good on our side of the counter, as the house dominated. Among the holiday donations150,000 Cowboys +2.5 at Bills. Weve covered that ground.$110,000 +12 at Dolphins. New York was shut out 30-0.$110,000 +5 at . Denver got run 42-17.$100,000 +1 at . Pittsburgh loses 30-13.One fortuitous bettor didnt win on a major wager but at least got the money back in the Vikes-Bengals tilt. Which is saying something, considering Cincinnati trailed 17-3 heading into the fourth quarter. The bettor had a hefty $220,000 on Bengals -3.Jake Browning and Co. rallied to tie it at 24 and force overtime, then won 27-24. The Bengals pushed, and the bettor survived to play another day.A DraftKings Sportsbook customer got the better of the Vikes-Bengals line, putting $25,087 (yes, thats kinda random) on Minnesota +3.5 (-120). A 3-point lo s was just fine, as the bettor profited $20,906, for a $45, Kendrick Bourne Jersey 993 total payout.Win or lose, these wagers are good reminders to keep it reasonable. Dont bet more than you can afford to lose.
