For the second consecutive week, the sportsbooks are rooting heavily for the underdog Baltimore Ravens on Sunday afternoon.

Week 15's updated splits for NFL action are in from WynnBET Sportsbook, and the visiting Green Bay Packers are their highest liability for today's slate of games when they head take on the Ravens in FOX's NFL "Game of the Week."

The Packers come off a 45-30 win over the Chicago Bears at home, covering a double digit spread and improving to a league best 11-2-0 against the spread (ATS).

The Ravens, despite a 24-22 divisional loss to the Cleveland Browns last week on the road, came back from a 24-3 deficit late in the first half to cover the 2.5-point spread.

Green Bay opened as a 4.5-point road favorite but the spread has moved 2.5-points in their favor throughout the week; making the Packers a full touchdown favorite away from home.

According to WynnBET, 87.7% of the bets vs. the spread have come in on Green Bay, but 95% of the betting money is on the Packers as well.

Meanwhile, one of the most significant splits of the week is in the Tennessee Titans vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game from Heinz Field. Despite 59.5% of the bets being on the Titans as 1.5-point underdogs, the Steelers have received 83.5% of the betting handle. This has moved the opening line from Pittsburgh +2 all the way up to a 1.5-point favorite, and now back to even money just after 10am ET.

Finally, when it comes to totals, the largest liability WynnBET holds is on the UNDER for the New York Jets vs. Miami Dolphins. After opening at 43, 72% of the total handle % is on the under now at 41. Rain is in the forecast today in South Florida with muggy and humid conditions.
