The first game on Monday Night Football this season should be very interesting as the Vikings travel to Washington to take on Joe Gibbs' Redskins. The line for the game opened at -6 points but is now trading at -4.5 points in favor of the home team.
The Over/Under for total points has also moved appreciably. The number originally posted was 37 but that is now 36 at best, and one online sportsbook is only offering 35.5 points.
We recommend following the Monday Night Football picks provided by Mycapper.com for both games, but particularly for this first one. Their top-rated handicapper has spotted a line error for the Vikings/Redskins game and it is their best value NFL pick of the day.
Based on the results they attained yesterday, where the same handicapper (MasterBets) gave out the Bengals and the Bears as the two best bets of the day, we think they should be relied upon here as well. Both those games ended up as routs for the teams they picked as the Bengals crushed the Chiefs and the Bears pounded the hapless Packers.
The second game is out West and features the AFC rivalry between the Chargers and Raiders in a battle for California bragging rights. The Chargers are favored by 3 points in the latest NFL odds, and the Over/Under for the game is set at 43 points.
There has not been a lot of change from the opening lines, suggesting that the public is split pretty evenly at the moment for this one.
