With Odell Beckham Jr., taking on the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, this game looked much more interesting before a torn ACL ended the Cleveland Browns star wide receiver's season.
Still, Cleveland is in the thick of the playoff hunt in the AFC, and somehow the 5-8 Giants are still alive in the NFC East, especially with Alex Smith out for Washington today against Seattle.
No matter the teams, Sunday Night Football is always going to draw attention from bettors, and in the case of Browns vs. Giants sharps are jumping on one of the biggest betting edges of the week.
NFL Picks: Browns vs. Giants
The betting public wants no part of the Giants. After putting up a paltry seven points against the Arizona Cardinals last week, just 29% of bets for tonight's game against the Browns have come in on the G-Men.
And with those two data points, we have a winning betting system.
According to our Bet Against Public After Bad Game PRO System, teams that scored fewer than 10 points in their previous game and are receiving less than 30% of spread bets for a current matchup are 151-96-4 (61%) against the spread since 2003.
When it comes to contrarian NFL betting, this is about as simple as it gets: when bettors overreact to a poor recent offensive performance take advantage by buying back the unpopular side.
