NFL Week 9 Lookahead Lines And 2023 Market Moves

The 2023 NFL Week 9 lookahead lines provide us an advance look at the following week’s NFL lines before the current week’s games are played. I provide an explanation and tools for using lookahead lines below. As you review my Week 8 underdog picks, which are 11-12 ATS this season and greater than 57% the past six years posting weekly (173-129 ATS), take a glance at the Week 9 matchups and lookahead lines before they are posted for next week’s games. Then compare them to the actual lines following the Week 8 games.

These NFL Lookahead Lines or advance lines can be useful in not only projecting ahead to next week’s games and lines, but also to keep you from over-reacting to one game or the upcoming games results. That’s especially the case with game totals this week off a historically low-scoring Week 7 that saw games average just 36.7 points per game and over/unders went 2-13. Week 8 followed with 43.4 points per game – right at the season average of 43.15 PPG. Home underdogs barked loud in Week 8 going 5-1 SU and 6-0 ATS and just 4 of 9 favorites won and covered.

How to use Lookahead Lines

The tendencies for many bettors is to over-react to previous weeks’ scores and results. The lookahead lines provide a sense of stability from the linemaker, who is unbiased in setting the lines in advance without the information from the current week’s contests.

They do this based on not only a potential over-reaction to the recent week’s results, but by using information they have on teams including power rankings. Making adjustments is part of the process, along with formulating an opinion on certain teams. This can be based on personnel, injuries, situations and stats that come to light as the season progresses.
