NFL tales from the book: Two matches that hurt the books in Week 12

Every now and then, it can be pretty handy to get the bookies side of things. To better understand how the house is faring week to week this NFL season, we got insights from Bodog’s own Pat Morrow on the biggest games and betting outcomes.

Biggest win and liability

The Green Bay Packers moneyline (ML) was terrible for the books, losing to the 37-8. But not as bad as the Seattle Seahawks ML and spread (closed -1.5), which Morrow comments “was our biggest loss of the day. But they made up for it with “a rare surprise the Patriots ML over the Cowboys was one of our biggest win of the day,” he notes.

Overall, favorites won the weekend, going 10-2 straight up, but struggled against the spread, going 5-6-1.
