It’s another NFL Sunday, but there is also plenty of NBA and NHL action on offer. A total of 12 games are taking place across those two leagues—5 on the hardwood and 7 on the ice. As for the late afternoon football schedule, it includes a showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs.

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

NFL: Cincinnati Bengals -1.5 over Las Vegas Raiders

Las Vegas is dealing with all kinds of issues off the field and it hasn’t been all that great on the field, so it only makes sense that the public is putting its faith in Cincinnati. The Bengals are being backed by 70 percent of the money and also 70 percent of the bets to cover the -1.5 spread. On the -125 money line, Cincinnati is drawing 62 percent of the wagers to pick up an outright win.
