Here is a Week 6 wagering wrap-up in the NFL:
Week 6 NFL wagering image
Favorites: 9-5 versus the spreadout
Overs: 3-11
49ers and Eagles lose straight-out as exceptionally public favorites
Early in the week, wagerers were currently filling up on the 49ers as 4.5- or 5-point favorites, before Deshaun Watson was ruled out. The line got as high as 49ers -10, before settling on 49ers -9.5, however the public still couldn’t get enough of San Francisco.
Fair to state that the public likes the San Francisco 49ers to cover -9.5 today vs. the Browns:
91% of 🎟️at @stationcasinos on 49ers
87% of bets on 49ers at @BetRivers
87% on 49ers at @BetMGM
85% on 49ers at @DKSportsbook— Ben Fawkes (@BFawkes22) October 15, 2023
Over 91 percent of the wagers at Station Casinos in Las Vegas were on the 49ers to cover, and at nationwide sportsbooks (BetMGM, DraftKings), the story was comparable with 85-plus percent of wagers on San Francisco. At BetMGM sportsbooks, 49ers -9.5 was the most-bet Week 6 side by both overall dollars bet and number of bets. The Browns won outright 19-17 and covered every number.
The Philadelphia Eagles (-6.5) were in a comparable boat versus a New York Jets group missingouton both of its beginning cornerbacks, with 80 percent of bets and 90 percent of dealwith on Eagles -6.5 at BetMGM books. But the Jets defense hung in versus Jalen Hurts & Co., and would’ve at least covered the videogame … upuntil Hurts tossed an INT with under 2 minutes left, leading to a Jets TD and 20-14 outright win. It was another fantastic videogame for the sportsbooks.
