Spread handle (Pros) reflects sharp action. Spread tickets (Joes) indicate public money. Let’s dive in:
1. Seahawks (+9.5) @ 49ers
Pros: SF 69% handle
Joes: SEA 68% tickets
Rationale: The big bettors predict a Niners bounce-back — with or without TE George Kittle (groin).
2. Jets (+6.5) @ Browns
Pros: NY 57% handle
Joes: CLE 72% tickets
Rationale: The Flacco-led Jets were flaccid in week one, and the Joes expect more mistakes by the lake.
3. Patriots (-2.5) @ Steelers
Pros: NE 57% handle
Joes: PIT 71% tickets
Rationale: The sharps are betting against Bill Belichick to start 0-2.
4. Bears (+10) @ Packers
Pros: CHI 68% handle
Joes: GB 65% tickets
Rationale: Every Joe knows that Aaron Rodgers owns the Bears.
