A few line movements of note:
- Titans-Colts game shifted four points, from the Titans being one point favorites to three point home dogs after losing to the 0-8 Jaguars, and with the news that Ryan Fitzpatrick will be their quarterback since Jake Locker's season is over - despite Indy losing by 30 points.
- Miami-San Diego shifted 3½ points, from the Dolphins being 2-point favorites to 1½-point dogs after losing to the previously winless Buccaneers.
- Giants-Packers shifted two points due to the unsettled situation at quarterback for Green Bay.
- The 3-7 Bills are still favored over the 5-4 Jets; is that because so many are buying into the win one, lose one trend for Gang Green? I would expect that line to move towards a pick-em by kickoff, if not as far as the Jets being a slight favorite.
Ratings
As bad as the games have been on Monday night, consider this: the lowest rated Monday Night Football game this year still drew a million more pair of eyeballs than the highest rated Thursday Night Football game of the season on the NFL Network. Meanwhile AMC's The Walking Dead continues to not only dominate non-sports television ratings, it actually edged out Sunday Night Football as well (7.9 million to 7.8 million viewers in the 18-49 age group).
