Raiders-Steelers Betting Splits: Public Favoring Pittsburgh
The NFL betting public hasn’t flocked to either side of tonight’s Raiders-Steelers matchup in Pittsburgh, but the home team has a slight edge. According to Pregame, 55% of the tickets have come in on Pittsburgh, and according to VSiN, which indexes bets made at DraftKings Sportsbook, 54% of the tickets have come in on Pittsburgh.
However, the betting splits change when looking at the handles. The Steelers attracted only 50% of the handle according to Pregame, but at DraftKings they have brought in a monster 74%. Despite the Steelers picking up so much money, the line hasn’t moved against the Raiders. Bettors eager to fade the public should head to BetMGM, where the Raiders sit at +2. Those who are new to BetMGM can secure a $25 free bet along with a risk-free bet of up to $1,000.
Raiders-Steelers Betting Splits: Big Money on the Under
With winter weather sweeping the country this weekend, unders have picked up considerable steam across the market. Early bettors crashed the New Orleans Saints at Cleveland Browns total all the way down to 31.5 on Monday. While little value remains on that total, some value remains on tonight’s Raiders-Steelers total, which the NFL betting splits reveal has picked up plenty of sharp action.
According to Pregame, the Raiders-Steelers under has picked up 94% of the cash on only 67% of the tickets. The under has drawn 59% of the cash on 56% of the tickets at DraftKings, per VSiN. The number hasn’t moved far from the opening total of 40; it still sits at 38.5 on DraftKings. Bettors eager to follow the NFL betting splits should head there for the best value.
