The Daily Steam: Gronk Leaves, Eli Returns, Sharps on Army/Navy, More
Monday has been chocked-full of sports betting news with the New York Giants cleaning house, Gronk facing the music, sharps pounding Army/Navy, and more.
Sharps on Cincy?
Tonight’s Steelers-Bengals line has dropped from Steelers -6 to -4 at Pinnacle even though 73% of tickets have taken Pittsburgh. Normally this is a clear indicator of sharp money, however, the status of Antonio Brown (questionable) could certainly be affecting this as well.
Eli’s new streak
The New York Giants relieved head coach Ben McAdoo and GM Jerry Reese of their duties and have reinstated Eli Manning as the team’s starting quarterback.
It’ll be interesting to monitor how the betting market reacts as Eli looks to extend his consecutive starts streak to one.
Gronk spiked
The NFL suspended Rob Gronkowski for one game for violating the league’s unnecessary roughness rule. No word yet regarding whether or not Tom Brady plans to destroy Gronkowski’s phone.
Service academy ‘unders’
When service academies get together, sharp bettors play the ‘under’. At the time of publication, 95% of early money is on the ‘under’, driving it down from an opener of 51 to 46.
