That still proves the original point though. It means the odds setters think that's how people will bet. Hence, the odds setters and probably bettors (Vegas is rarely super off base but it changes every week obviously) won't mostly bet on them.
Burrow looked like crap last week. A lot of people think the Bills are going to steamroll this weekend. After this past one as much as I want the Bengals to take it all, if I were a betting man I would probably bet on Buffalo even though I think they're still overrated and this weekend will test them.
