Below are the win Over-Unders for all 32 NFL teams as of Wednesday morning at MGM Resorts International. Eight teams, including the Vikings, had win Over-Unders of 10 or more, while six teams have totals of six or less.
Three quick thoughts:
— The 49ers' win total has been at 8½ since betting began, but the price on the Over has risen from the standard minus-110 to minus-155. That's a clear sign the 49ers are getting some respect at the windows.
— The Texans opened at 8½ Over minus-135, but the Over is now a more attractive plus-105 if you believe the Texans are the top threat to the Colts in the AFC South.
— Thought this was interesting: the Bears' total opened at 8½ with the Over minus-105 and the Under minus-115, but that has fallen to 8, with the Over rated at plus-130 and Under at minus-150. It's my experience that Chicago teams can be overbet in Las Vegas, particularly when it comes to future-book wagers, but the Bears might be a little undervalued in this instance.
Here are the win totals:
Colts — 11½ (Over: +160; Under -180)
Chargers — 11 (+130 / -150)
