  • Sharp money has jumped all over the New England Patriots-Pittsburgh Steelers (4:25 p.m. ET, CBS) point spread and over/under.
  • Using The Action Network's betting tools, we analyze how sharp action has moved both lines over the past couple of hours.

As of Sunday morning, all was quiet regarding the New England Patriots-Pittsburgh Steelers betting lines with the Pats sitting as 2.5-point road favorites and the over/under settled in at 53.5/54.

However, all of that changed when a flood of money from professional bettors jumped on both bet types, forcing oddsmakers to adjust the spread and over/under across the betting market.

Using The Action Network's betting tools, let's take a quick look at how an influx of sharp money has moved Patriots-Steelers betting lines over the past couple of hours.

The Patriots opened as 1-point road favorites in this matchup and have been a popular target of casual bettors, which have helped moved this number up to -2.5 (-124).

With a vig of -124, oddsmakers are suggesting that they're heavy with New England money and are close to moving it to -3, which would help attract bets on Pittsburgh and offset New England liability.

The over has also been a popular target so far today, resulting in the total moving to 55.5 at most books, and even 56 at others.

Sports Insights' Bet Signals — which track and report professional betting action in real-time — triggered a Steam Move earlier today on the over at 53.5, explaining why this number has skyrocketed across the market.

Steam is defined as sudden, uniform line movement that is usually the result of professional bettors getting down on one side of a game at multiple sportsbooks, at the same time.

There's still plenty of time for more action to come down on this key AFC showdown, so be sure to download The Action Network's mobile app to track real-time line moves for Patriots-Steelers.
