Today is a massive turning point in the NFL season, as we'll quickly find out which teams are contenders and which ones are pretenders.
8:45 A.M. ET, SUNDAY OCT. 16: This has been one of the most interesting lines to follow in Week 6, opening as low as Rams -8.5 before the firing of Carolina coach Matt Rhule and news of QB Baker Mayfield’s ankle injury. The spread jump as high as Los Angeles -11 earlier in the week and was met with quick buyback on the Panthers and the points from pro betting groups. That bumped this spread back to Rams -9.5.
9:30 A.M. ET, THURSDAY, OCT. 13: After this spread climbed to Rams -11, in the wake of the Baker Mayfield injury and Matt Rhule firing, sharp players bought back Carolina at the inflated spread and that brought the line back down as low as Los Angeles -9.5.books are reporting 64% of bets and 83% of the handle riding with the Panthers in Week 6.
1:22 P.M. MONDAY, OCT. 10: It was announced Monday afternoon that Baker Mayfield has a high-ankle sprain and will miss Sunday's game in Los Angeles against the Rams. Some people may think this is a good thing for the struggling Panthers, but books adjusted the point spread to Rams -11 and edged the total down from 41.5 to 40.5. Former XFL star P.J. Walker will get the start in place of Mayfield.
10:00 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 9: Los Angeles has dropped back-to-back games but stays home to host the floundering Panthers in Week 6. Carolina QB Baker Mayfield was wearing a walking boot on his left foot after the loss to San Francisco, which could have third-stringer P.J. Walker potentially playing on the road vs. the Rams defense. This total is sitting at 41.5 points.
