The O/U for the Week 5 matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills has been bet down a full point from its opening number... View More
Betting Impact:
After opening at 47 points, the Steelers-Bills O/U has been bet down to 46.

In addition, the total has been bet down from 41 to 40.5, which is the first time the total has moved this week.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) has been ruled out for the team's Week 5 Thursday night matchup with the Denver Broncos... View More
Betting Impact:
Taylor has never missed a game (pro or college) before this week, and his absence will sorely be missed by the Indianapolis offense. The Colts enter this week ranked 27th in rushing yards per game (87.8) and per carry (3.5). However, Taylor is just a season removed from leading the league in rushing with 1,811 yards. Despite Taylor's absence, the Colts have remained firm as +3 point underdogs, though the total has dipped from 43 to 42.
