NFL Week 12 Games with the Biggest Line Movement
The Raiders and Cardinals both opened up at a PK, but have jumped up early this week.
The biggest line movement this week has been in the Bengals game. Initially, the Bengals opened up as a FG favorite at home, but with Joe Burrow out for the year, the Giants are now a -6 favorite.
Seattle have also seen their point spread jump multiple points this week.
The Seahawks don’t play until Monday night, so this line has room to continue moving. Will it hit a TD by kick-off? If you like the Seahawks on MNF, we recommend betting on them now.
