Note: data below was found on BetQL as of 9:00pm EST on Thursday, November 3.

Line Movement: Panthers at Bengals

The biggest line movement of the weekend comes in the Carolina Panthers vs. Cincinnati Bengals game. Originally, the Bengals were favored by nine points, but that changed pretty quickly. Funny enough, the Panthers have started to take some money, and the line is now Carolina +7. The Panthers should have beaten the Falcons last week, but stupidity and bad kicking on their part prevented that. Cincinnati was blown out by Cleveland in an epic primetime beatdown.

What this all means is that books have seen a massive influx of cash coming in on the Panthers. You can clearly see this on our "Line Movement" dashboard, which will show you the difference between the opening line and current number. BetQL's star ratings change immediately when the sportsbooks change theirs, so you can always count on us to have the most updated number.

Sharp Money: Commanders ATS vs. Vikings

This week, the sharps seem to be going with Taylor Heinicke and the Washington Commanders against the Minnesota Vikings at home. In fact, the Commanders are public dogs in this game, getting 57% of the total bets, so they are in rare territory here where the sharps and public are aligned on one team.

Carson Wentz was injured and it is looking more and more likely that he won't be getting his job back when he's healthy. Heinicke has been far better under center for the Commanders, and they are now a respectable 3-4 on the season. A whopping 82% of the money is on the Commanders, but just 57% of the total tickets, a difference of 25% (the "Pro Betting Percentage"). Meanwhile, Minnesota has 43% of the total tickets but just 18% of the money.

Therefore, sharp bettors are hammering the Commanders to cover at home. This data is available for every game of the slate for BetQL subscribers, so they always know which bet the high-rollers are backing. Compare this with our best bets for this game below.

Public Bet: Seahawks +2 at Cardinals

We have a public underdog here, ladies and gentlemen. Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks are getting all of the love here on the road against Kliff Kingsbury and his Arizona Cardinals. At the time of this writing, 79% of the total bets against the spread in this game are on the Seahawks (+2). Everyone is on the 12th man against one of the most toxic teams in recent history.

Betting against the public can be a smart strategy, though, when it creates value on the opposite side. It doesn't always pan out, so you always have to be mindful of how you're factoring in this data, but BetQL will help you make these decisions with our model projections and analysis.
