Bears-Lions has already kicked off, but that doesn't mean sharps have stopped betting Thanksgiving's slate of NFL matchups.
In fact, with limits now at game-day levels, professionals are even more incentivized to get down on any soft numbers leftover from early betting.
Oddsmakers opened the Washington Redskins-Dallas Cowboys (4:30 p.m. ET, FOX) over/under at 41, and 66% of tickets wagered on the total have played the over.
Despite the steady over action, oddsmakers have dropped the number down to 40.5 across the betting market.
Why is the line moving in this direction?
Because steady professional money has come in on the under throughout the day Thursday.
Sports Insights' Bet Signals — which track and report professional betting action in real-time — have triggered two Reverse Line Moves on the Redskins-Cowboys under.
Reverse-line movement refers to betting line movement that goes against the public betting percentages.
In this instance, the majority of betting tickets are on the over, yet the total has fallen, indicating that the larger wagers placed by respected bettors are banking on a low-scoring game.
In addition, 41 is a very important number in NFL over/under betting.
Since 2003, 41 is the most common combined score in terms of total points in NFL games, emphasizing the significance of 41 vs. 40.5.
