Sunday’s marquee matchup — the Chiefs<\/a>‘ 37-20 thrashing of Baltimore — was a mixed bag for sportsbooks<\/a>. But every book was forced to seriously shift MVP odds owing in large part to what happened in Kansas City.<\/p>\n

Books like BetMGM<\/a> and Caesars<\/a> rejoiced in the Chiefs’ upset because they were super-heavy with Baltimore money. The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, which took large bets on Kansas City, did not.<\/p>\n

“I was shocked that we got 80% of the money on the Ravens<\/a>,” BetMGM Trading Manager Christian Cipollini told CBS Sports. “I figured the game would be closer to 50-50, and we got nothing but Ravens’ action.”<\/p>\n

Baltimore closed as a 2.5-point road favorite. Many bettors figured there was no way the ultra-talented Ravens would fall to 1-3.<\/p>\n

“The Ravens were all the rage,” Joey Feazel, Head of Football at Caesars Sportsbook, told CBS Sports.<\/p>\n

The rout helped shake up the MVP race. Patrick Mahomes<\/a> tossed four touchdowns without an interception, while Lamar Jackson<\/a> left with a hamstring injury and will be further evaluated Monday. With the Giants<\/a> upsetting Justin Herbert’s<\/a> Chargers<\/a> and Josh Allen’s<\/a> Bills<\/a> moving to 4-0, Allen cemented his status as the MVP favorite.<\/p>\n

“With Herbert losing and Lamar’s turnover and injury status, Josh Allen was the biggest mover, going from +230 to +140, along with Mahomes going from +2500 to +1400,” Feazel said.<\/p>\n

Big sweat in Survivor pools<\/p>\n

The undefeated Bills kicked off as 14.5-point favorites over the winless Saints<\/a>. Not surprisingly, Buffalo was the most popular pick in Circa Survivor, with 4,130 contestants using the Bills. That represented 29.9% of the remaining pool.<\/p>\n

New Orleans nearly took the lead with 8:53 left in the game, but Brandin Cooks<\/a> could not corral Spencer Rattler’s<\/a> low pass. The Saints settled for a field goal and a 21-19 deficit, going on to lose 31-19. The Saints drove into Buffalo territory on their first nine possessions and put a serious scare into the Bills.<\/p>\n

There was some carnage with the Chargers (784 entries) going down to Jaxson Dart<\/a> and the Giants, and the Packers<\/a> (478 entries) tying Dallas 40-40. In Survivor, the team you pick must win for the entry to survive.<\/p>\n

“Another fun week in Circa Survivor,” Circa Sports director of operations Jeff Benson told CBS Sports. “The biggest point spread favorite in years was sweatier than thought, and Dart put a dagger in the heart of Chargers’ fans.”<\/p>\n

Contestants paid $1,000 to enter and are vying for the $18.7 million first prize.<\/p>\n

Eagles<\/a> cash, burn tickets on the last play in Week 4<\/p>\n

One week after covering against the Rams<\/a> on 336-pound Jordan Davis<\/a>‘ blocked field goal return for a touchdown as time expired, the Eagles shifted tons of money again on the last play. Leading 31-23 at Tampa Bay, Philly opted to run out the clock by taking a safety, winning 31-25.<\/p>\n

“For the second week in a row, the Eagles’ late-game score benefitted in-play customers who took the Bucs +6.5,” Feazel said. “It just shows that your ticket has life in Eagles’ games until all the zeros [show on the scoreboard].”<\/p>\n

Davis’ improbable play at the end of Philly’s Week 3 game turned a 27-26 lead into a 33-26 final. Philly was laying 3.5 points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sunday’s marquee matchup — the Chiefs‘ 37-20 thrashing of Baltimore — was a mixed bag for sportsbooks.
