5 Vegas Betting Trends to Help Set Your Week 3 Daily Fantasy Football Lineup

Pittsburgh Steelers (-7.0) at Chicago Bears (O/U 44.0)

Betting Trends: As they travel to Soldier Field to face the Chicago Bears, 77% of spread tickets are on the Pittsburgh Steelers. The line has dropped one point from its open of -8.0. This line movement in favor of the Bears despite the public being on the Steelers is a prime example of a phenomenon known as reverse line movement. The sharps and/or oddsmakers believe Chicago can keep this game tight throughout. This is similar to what happened with the Bears' Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, and sure enough, they were in position to tie the game on the final drive.

It is also interesting to note that the total has dropped two points since the open. While the majority of spread tickets are on the side of the under, it is still a large drop. It's worth noting that the Steelers are the second-worst over team in road games since the start of the 2015 season.

Takeaways: Everyone knows about Ben Roethlisberger’s struggles on the road, but since he became a full-time player, Antonio Brown has not been affected when the Steelers are road favorites, scoring almost 18.96 PPR points per game in this situation since 2011. This may be a great time to use Brown in tournaments while his ownership is down with the Steelers away from Heinz Field.

Meanwhile, per the Rotoviz Game Splits App, Le'Veon Bell is actually at his best as a road favorite, per the Rotoviz Game Splits App. He is in line for a big game after struggling to start the season.

The Pittsburgh D/ST is also in play because of the decreasing over/under and the Steelers still being solid favorites. Bears pass catchers, including Tarik Cohen, are viable options especially in PPR formats as the Bears should keep this one close but still play from behind most of the game.
