Understanding Public and Money

Think of 'Public' as the percentage of people betting on each side and 'Money' as how much money is being bet. When there's a big difference between the 'Public' and 'Money' data, it usually means that the more serious bettors (referred to as 'Sharp Money') are favoring a particular side.

Prop's Analysis:

DraftKings. Reading the writing on the wall in Houston - they’ve made Nico Collins and Nick Chubb healthy scratches. While the division is still up for grabs, it does seem that Houston is accepting reality, with the Jaguars facing the lowly Titans today. Jawhar Jordan has flashed over the last three weeks (38 carries for 190 yards), and my guess is that he gets the work behind Woddy Marks today. I expect the Texans defense to suffocate the Riley Leonard led Colts offense - Jordan should have plenty opportunity. I’d bet this up to over 32.5 yards.

Adam's Analysis:

The Texans have not been blowing teams out, but here, one of the two best defenses in the NFL gets to feast on a rookie in Riley Leonard. The Colts defense has done well to give it a chance in games, but these are still losers of six straight with double-digit losses to playoff teams. Houston could potentially pull players late if Jacksonville is blowing out Tennessee, but by then, the margin should already be firmly in hand. Plus, DeMeco Ryans said he is not sitting his starters. The line has come down a full point from earlier in the week, so even with raised odds and without Nico Collins, it's attractive under 10.

Claudia's Analysis:

This number is as high as 224.5 at some shops, for good reason. The Colts are allowing the 2nd most attempts, completions and yards -- over 266 a game. Game script wise, he may not need a high volume of passes but he can still get there, especially with a few explosive plays. Not only are the Colts over 7 yards per attempt, they're also allowing the 5th most 20+ yard attempts and completions. He has cashed in all but three of the last 10, averaging 227 in that stretch. He should cash again here.

Mike's Analysis:

The proud Houston defense must have looked forward to sending Indy QB Philip Rivers into his second retirement. Alas, it may not get the chance. The Colts are leaning to starting QB Riley Leonard, a rookie drafted in the sixth round. That could be considered cruel punishment, sending him out for start No. 1 against the league's nastiest defense. The Texans have plenty to play for. A division title, though remote, remains possible. Short of it, they could secure a fifth seed on the AFC bracket. Most of the wins in their current eight-game SU streak are by one score, but they have yet to feast on a QB this green.
