Once again Sunday Night NFL ruins the day for sportsbooks as the favorites keep cashing for bettors. The Bears destroying the Vikings while going over the total was not popular for sportsbooks and is being reported as a "day killer" with the over being the worse result all Sunday at Sports Interaction according to my sources there.
"Bears stung the most. We grinded out a decent profit during the day, but then gave pretty much all of it back as everyone was on the Bears. Losing those Sunday night games are a real killer. So much more action is on them then the other games; really makes or breaks your day."

"In the college football, the top 10 teams continue to kill bookmakers. Based on the AP poll the week the game was played, top 10 teams are 16-1 ATS the last two weekends, 38-14 ATS on the season and 29-3-1 ATS when teams were favored by 27 or less points."

"Top 10 teams went 7-1-1 ATS Saturday (Arkansas bye). This coming off last weekend when they swept the board. Ouch"

Here is a look-ahead and quick recap of this past weekend:
I checked in with some of the sportsbook that cater to square bettors and the public is lining up early on the Raiders and Chiefs in the NFL and Oklahoma State and Wisconsin in the college football.
NFL games that made money for the books:
*Bucs beating the Saints outright was a huge winner across the board.
*49ers winning outright killed the sharps and public who took the Lions, plus wiped out teasers.
*Backdoor score by the Jaguars broke the hearts of Steelers bettors but had the books smiling.
Money maker in college football for the sportsbooks:
*Virginia winning outright over Georgia Tech was the biggest winner for most offshores I spoke with.
*Vanderbilt covering over Georgia.
*San Jose State beating Hawaii on Thursday.
Worst college football results for the books:
*Stanford CRUSHED the books, especially when "joe public" could hammer them below -21 after the sharps backed the dog.
*Alabama winning by 1000
*LSU continues to role for the players
NFL that made the most money for the players:
*Bears AND Over
*Packers
