Totals have fallen to historic lows this week amid cold and windy weather around the country. Seven games have totals in the 30s, the most in any week since Week 17 of 2011. The New Orleans-Cleveland total of 32 is on track to be the lowest total in any game since 2008. The average over/under this week is 41.59, on track to be the second-lowest in any week in the last decade
Detroit, Cincinnati and San Francisco have been three of the hottest teams against the spread (ATS).
Cincinnati is 11-1 ATS in its past 12 games with six straight covers, which is Cincinnati's longest cover streak since 1993. Its longest single-season cover streak in the Super Bowl era is seven straight, set in 1970. Cincinnati is 11-3 ATS on the season, the best mark in the league.
Detroit has covered seven straight games, its longest single-season cover streak in the Super Bowl era. Detroit has won and covered three straight road games. Detroit has never won and covered four straight road games in the Super Bowl era.
San Francisco has covered five straight games, its longest cover streak since 2013 (five). Its last longer cover streak was an eight-game streak in 2011, the team's longest single-season streak in the Super Bowl era.
On the other side, Tampa Bay is a league-worst 3-10-1 ATS despite starting 2-0 ATS. Tom Brady looks to buck that trend, as well as his recent prime-time struggles. Brady is 2-12 ATS with Tampa Bay in prime-time games including playoffs.
However, the big betting story this week involves the Dallas-Philadelphia game. Jalen Hurts' questionable status has caused that line to move from Dallas -2 to Dallas -5.
