So keep that in mind as San Francisco arrives on a short week with a rookie QB. What else is on the Week 15 NFL betting trends list?

The LA Rams see their biggest spread since 2001 (no surprise, the Jets are in town) and the Bengals see the second-biggest home dog number in their history as well. New Orleans is a rare home dog, a situation that has seen bettors profit nicely over the years.

They covered at Jacksonville a few weeks ago in this position to bring their record to 2-13 ATS since 1980! Interestingly, the past 8 times all played UNDER the total as well.
