We have another busy day in the world of sports. Week 6 in the NFL is taking center stage, while the NLCS continues with Game 2 between the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers. The first week of the 2021-22 NHL campaign is also wrapping up.

Let’s take a look at where the public money has gone so far on Sunday.

NFL: Dallas Cowboys -3.5 over New England Patriots

One of bettors’ favorite NFL plays of the day is on the Cowboys to cover the spread against the Patriots. Dallas at -3.5 is inspiring 81 percent of the money and 85 percent of the wagers. Unsurprisingly, the Cowboys are also getting hammered on the -190 money line. They are being backed by 92 percent of the handle and 90 percent of the bets to win straight up.

NFL: Arizona Cardinals ML over Cleveland Browns

The public is also enthused by the undefeated Cardinals. Arizona on the +145 money line is drawing 79 percent of the handle and 75 percent of the wagers as punters feel good about a minor upset (yes, the Cards are underdogs despite being 5-0). However, bettors are less inclined to bother with the points; they just want the outright victory at +145 odds. Arizona at +3 is bringing in a more modest 54 percent of the money, although a sizable 70 percent of the bets are also going in that direction.
