Over the course of a long NFL season, however, it’s sometimes amazing how accurate the linemakers are week in and week out. All that considered, however, the point spreads were sharper than sharp in Sunday’s early games. In fact, no fewer than three of those “pushed” against consensus lines for most of the week, while a fourth was off by just one point. In one of the more dull games on Sunday, the Vikings beat the Lions 20-7 as 13-point favourites for push No. The home loss was bad enough and the upset was a surprise, but bettors couldn’t get enough of the Texans, who were bet up to nine-point favourites.
