"Lopsided action has one online sportsbook rooting for a bunch of home dogs on this week&amp;rsquo;s NFL betting card.The betting public quickly and emphatically sided with four road favorites this week - the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, and New England Patriots.&amp;nbsp; By Friday afternoon, &amp;ldquo;85 to 95 percent&amp;rdquo; of the early bets were on those four road teams in their respective matchups, a Bovada spokesperson told OddsShark.The Chiefs grew from 3-point to 5-point favorites over the up-and-down Oakland Raiders during the week. The Chiefs have covered the spread in eight of their last 10 visits to Oakland, and Kansas City comes in after snapping a three-game slide with an impressive performance in a blowout win at the Washington Redskins. Oakland&amp;rsquo;s roller-coaster season continued with an ugly loss to a New York Jets team that appeared to be on life support before the Raiders&amp;rsquo; defense showed up. One note on the total: The UNDER is 14-2-1 in the past 17 meetings in the Chiefs-Raiders AFC West rivalry.The red-hot Eagles head to Minnesota as road favorites. Behind the hot hand of quarterback Nick Foles, Philadelphia has won five straight games, highlighted by last week&amp;rsquo;s comeback over the Detroit Lions in a snowstorm. Ten of the Vikings&amp;rsquo; 13 games have gone OVER the total this season, appropriate for a defense that ranks 30th against the pass and 22nd against the run.The San Francisco 49ers also are surging down the stretch. The 49ers&amp;rsquo; three-game win streak was capped by last week&amp;rsquo;s 19-17 win over the Seattle Seahawks, who have emerged as the favorites to win the Super Bowl at most shops. The 49ers were 6-point favorites over the suddenly-hot Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Bovada as of Friday. Some shops opened the spread as low as San Francisco -3.5.The New England Patriots head to the Miami Dolphins as tiny road favorites. At Bovada on Friday, the Patriots were 1.5-point favorites, while some books had the game listed as a pick &amp;lsquo;em. This will be the Patriots&amp;#039; first game since losing TE Rob Gronkowski, one of the reasons this line has shrunk drastically since opening at New England -3.5."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
