Bills-Bengals Public Betting Splits: Public Favoring Cincinnati
The Cincinnati Bengals are a narrow home underdog to the Bills this week. Buffalo opened as a 1.5-point favorite but now sits between a 1-point favorite at Pinnacle and a 2.5-point favorite at DraftKings. With the books expecting Buffalo’s defense to get the best of Cincinnati, what do the sharps think?
Neither side has drawn clear sharp action. Pinnacle, a sharp sportsbook, favors Cincinnati relative to the market. But VSiN, which indexes bets placed at DraftKings Sportsbook, reports that only 45% of the handle has come in on Cincinnati — and on 51% of the bets. Pregame reports that 50% of the cash is backing Cincinnati on 61% of the tickets.
Bettors should note that most of the action listed above likely came in on Buffalo at -1.5. With the Bills now sitting at -2.5, bettors eager to fade the public won’t get as much value as they would have earlier in the week. Still, DraftKings Sportsbook’s price remains the best on the market, and users who are yet to register there can even turn a $5 bet into $200 in bets!
Bills-Bengals Public Betting Splits: Total Drawing Public Action
Because of the rain likely to fall in Cincinnati tonight, bettors may expect the under to have drawn a significant part of the handle. However, the total for Monday night’s battle opened at 49 and now sits at 49.5 on both Pinnacle and FanDuel — but at 50.5 on DraftKings.
The NFL betting splits are a bit clearer on the totals market. According to VSiN, the over has attracted 77% of the handle but on 79% of the bets. Pregame reports that 71% of the cash has come in on the over but on 84% of the tickets. Pinnacle’s decision to leave the total at 49.5 suggests that most of the action at DraftKings and popular sportsbooks is squarer than it is sharp.
Bettors eager to fade the public can still buy the 50.5 at DraftKings — for now. This total could easily settle back in at 49.5 or 50 before kickoff, so bettors eager to get the best deal on the market should quickly get their action down at DraftKings — and new users shouldn’t forget to take advantage of this special offer!
