On this week's oddsboard, the best game also features the , this time against the .Philly is once again around a field-goal underdog, but this time they're on the road in prime-time on Sunday night. So well see if the second time is the charm for a good game.Plus, betting has begun in earnest on College Football Playoff semifinal odds. And let Moses Malone Jersey s just say is becoming a potentially big problem for sportsbooks.Lets get to it, as oddsmakers and sharp bettors dive into this weeks NFL and betting nuggets.ADVERTISEMENT  Sunday Night FightPhiladelphia is still trying to get the license plate number of the semi that ran it over last weekend. The Eagles lost to San Fran 42-19, giving up 14 points in each of the second, third and fourth quarters.So Philly is now 10-2 straight up (SU) and 7-3-2 against the spread (ATS). Dallas (9-3 SU/10-4 ATS) could forge a tie atop the NFC East. At The SuperBook, the Cowboys opened as 3-point favorites, and senior risk supervisor Casey Degnon said the line has spent the week toggling between Dallas -3 (-120) and -3.5 (even)."Its all Cowboys right now. Dallas is getting a lot more money and a lot more tickets to this point of the week," Degnon said Wednesday night. "If the Eagles had looked better last week, Im sure it would look a little different. But Dallas is scoring a lot of points, and the Eagles just lost by a bunch at home."Degnon added that he expects to see some public betting support for Philadelphia, but that The SuperBook will likely need the Eagles come Sunday night.Is Jalen Hurts being SCAPEGOATED for the Philadelphia Eagles' struggles?      NFL Sharp SideProfe sional bettor Randy McKay is looking toward another NFC battle, out in the West Division. And hes going against surging San Fran firing on +11 in a 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday matchup on ."San Francisco is coming off a big revenge win last week vs. Calvin Murphy Jersey  the Eagles," McKay said. "Now, the Niners are playing a division rival with more rest. We are seeing an overinflated line here with the recency bias, so Hawks +11."As McKay alluded to, Seattle has a couple more days rest entering this road trip, having played the Week 13 Thursday night game. In that contest at Dallas, the Seahawks were a handful for the Cowboys but lost 41-35.McKay is also backing the +7 (-120) at home against on Monday night."Its another recency-bias game here. You have Green Bay coming off its two best games vs. and ," he said.NFL Rocks on FOX also have a game that just might be sneaky good. The (9-3 SU/8-4 ATS) host the (6-6 SU/6-5-1 ATS) at 1 p.m. ET Sunday.Everyone knows that Baltimore is solid and right in the thick of the Super Bowl odds chase. L.A. is on a three-game win streak, but this will certainly be a tough test, with the Rams 7-point underdogs at The SuperBook."We havent moved off 7 all week," Degnon said. "Ticket count is about even, but theres more money on the Ravens right now. You can also start to see the moneyline parlay/teaser liability forming on the Ravens. By kickoff, well need the Rams to win this game outright."Cowboys vs. Eagles is a 'must-win' for Dak's Cowboys      Back To SchoolMeanwhile, on the college gridiron, the College Football Playoff is set. No. 1 meets No. 4 Alabama in the Rose Bowl, followed by No. 2 taking on No. 3 in the Sugar Bowl, both on New Years Day.The news so far is that bettors love the Crimson Tide. PointsBets Max Meyer noted that early on, there is more moneyline cash on Alabama  wagering on the Crimson Tide to beat Michigan outright  than there is spread and moneyline dollars on Michigan, Washington and Texas combined.Said PointsBet trader Wyatt Satre: "Alabama moneyline has received by far the most action of any CFP bet Sterling Brown Jersey , although all of that has been public money. I think its mostly recency bias, given Alabamas convincing win over . Michigan hasnt faced a QB as athletic as this season, so the market could have questions there."This spread should hover around a pick, but I wouldnt be surprised if Alabama closes as a small favorite."College Sharp SideTheres only one FBS game this weekend, a continuation of one of the all-time great rivalries. faces on Saturday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Ma s., for the 124th meeting between these archrivals.Army is a 3-point favorite. College football betting expertPaul Stone rates these teams virtually even at most positions. But helikes Army minus the points, based on the health and rugged running style of quarterback .The 6-foot, 218-pounder out of Texas has been a workhorse for the Black Knights in recent weeks, carrying the ball 77 times for 347 yards during their three-game winning streak. Daily had 36 rushes for 170 yards in Armys 23-3 upset of Air Force a month ago.Stone expects a similar workload for Daily on Saturday."Daily is like a linebacker with the ball in his hands," Stone said. "He'll take contact, he'll initiate contact. He's a bruiser, a real tough guy."Stone is also already involved in one of the CFP semifinals. He bet Washington +4.5 against Texas."Texas doesn't have any glaring weakne ses, but is somewhat vulnerable in the back of its defense," Stone said. "That obviously plays to Washington's strength, which is its pa sing game."Texas secondary will be shorthanded in the first half vs. Washington. True freshman safety will mi s the first two quarters, after being ejected for targeting in the second half of the Longhorns' 49-21 win over in the Big 12 title game.More NFL NumbersThe - tilt is a lot more interesting due to uncertain status. The Jags QB suffered a high ankle sprain in the Week 13 Monday night game, a 34-31 overtime home lo s to Cincinnati.Lawrence hasnt been ruled out vs. Cleveland, but oddsmakers dont see him playing Sunday. The SuperBook opened the Jags -3 vs. the Browns, and the line was still Jags -2.5 before Jacksonvilles Monday night setback. Following the Jaguars lo s, The SuperBook flipped the number to Cleveland -2.5, and midweek, its Browns -3."I think Lawrence is worth more than 4 points and le s than 7 points. Five to six points is about right," Degnon said. "We took a sharp bet on Cleveland -2.5 to push us to -3. I think thats betting against Lawrence playing. And I dont think hes playing. If he is ruled out, I think well see more Cleveland bets."Degnon offered insight on one more key Sunday matchup: Rudy Tomjanovich Jersey  vs. Kansas City Chiefs. Host Kansas City opened -3 Sunday night, dipped to -2.5 Monday, then went to -2 and -1.5 Wednesday."Ticket count is about 3/1 in favor of the Chiefs, but money is pretty similar right now. Im surprised the Chiefs dont have more money."That said, Degnon expects the book to need Buffalo, likely outright, as therell be no shortage of public Chiefs action in moneyline parlays.Would a Kansas City win quiet any doubters?       I Like Big Bets and I Cannot LieTheres not much to report yet in the way of major wagers on NFL Week 14 odds or in the college football bowl odds market. But weve got a doozy of a leftover from Monday Night Football.The Jaguars closed as 10-point home favorites against the Bengals. A Caesars Sports customer took the seemingly safe route for such a Thabo Sefolosha Jersey  big favorite, betting $113,200 on Jacksonville moneyline -480. Meaning all the Jags had to do was win the game, and the bettor would profit $23,583, for a total payout of $136,783.But Bengals QB  replacing the injured  had the game of his life, completing 32 of 37 pa ses for 354 yards and a touchdown, with no interceptions. The aforementioned Lawrence was solid, too, going 22 of 29 for 258 yards and two TDs, while also rushing for another score. But he left with just under six minutes remaining due to the high ankle sprain.And Jacksonville went on to lose 34-31 in overtime. Oof.Just another reason why you should always keep your bets reasonable. There are no sure things in NFL betting.
