Evaluating NFL Week 8 Lookahead Lines And Week 7 Market Moves

Each week during the NFL season, the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas, FanDuel, PointsBet, William Hill and other selected sportsbooks release the betting lines for the following week’s games. These lines offer a glimpse at the projected betting lines up to 10 days in advance of the games. This week we provide and evaulate the Week 8 lookahead lines and some selected match-ups.

I update these NFL Week 7 lookahead lines and current week market moves initially each week in the Recency Report at TheLines. I also review weekly stats and provide information you can bet on in reports and Inside the Numbers updates. I contribute sports betting industry updates at TheLines and chip-in information you can bet on. I’ll update a bit more here each week with links to other NFL team info and tools you can use for your own handicapping and betting.

NFL Week 7 – Odds

The most bet teams in Week 7 at FanDuel Sportsbook include Green Bay (-3.5) and Buffal0 (-12.5). The Packers are taking more than 95% of the bets and money (handle) in their game at Houston. The Bills are taking more than 91% of the bets and money in their road game against the NY Jets.

In the over/under market, the Packers/Texans game has the highest total of the week at 57, and the most OVER money on any game with 85% betting on a very high scoring game.

Key Week 7 games include Seattle (-3.5) at Arizona with the undefeated Seahawks (5-0) off a bye taking more than 81% of the bets against the Cardinals (4-2) in a NFC West duel in the desert.

Another NFC West contender is the Los Angeles Rams (4-2), who are up to a 6-point home favorite against the NFC North first place Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football.

In a match-up of undefeated teams, Tennessee (5-0) hosts Pittsburgh (5-0), and the line has flipped with the Titans now a 1-point favorite. Monday night has two contests with Kansas City at Buffalo the first game between division leaders followed by Arizona at Dallas.

WEEK 8 LOOKAHEAD LINES AND BETTING BREAKDOWN

Week 8 has a number of key divisional games and one lopsided spread:

New England at Buffalo: This game should attract significant action with the Patriots (+2.5) as a road underdog for the third time this season. The Pats went 0-2 straight-up and against the spread against the Seahawks and Chiefs. Buffalo leads the AFC East at 4-2 going into Week 7, while the Patriots are 2-3.

NY Jets at Kansas City: Did you see the massive lookahead line on this game? The Chiefs are a 21-point favorite and a double-digit loss by the Jets to the Bills in Week 7 may move this line up higher. The only other time the Jets started 0-6 was in 1996 when the flyboys finished 1-15. The largest point spread in franchise history was +20.5, and it happened twice (2007 vs. New England and last year vs. New England).

Pittsburgh at Baltimore: A huge rivalry for first place in the AFC North. The lookahead line of Ravens -5.5 is likely to drop as the undefeated Steelers (5-0) travel for the second straight week off their Week 7 game at Tennessee. The Ravens (5-1) will enter the key division showdown off a bye in Week 7.
