Road teams continue to dominate this season, covering nearly 59% of the time. That is on track to be the highest mark in the Super Bowl era. Road teams are also four games over .500. It would be the second straight season road teams post a winning outright record, after that had never previously happened since the 1970 AFL/NFL merger.
This week features some of the closest lines we have seen all season, as the average line of 3.5 is tied for the sixth-shortest in any week in the Super Bowl era.
One of those games features the San Francisco 49ers laying a field goal against the Minnesota Vikings at home. Kyle Shanahan has lost nine straight games as a home favorite, the longest such streak by any coach in the Super Bowl era. Overall, he is 3-16-2 ATS.
