NFL Week 8 Lookahead Lines And 2023 Market Moves

The 2023 NFL Week 8 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 7 underdog picks, which are 10-10 ATS this season and nearly 58% the past six years posting weekly (172-127 ATS), take a glance at the Week 7 matchups and lookahead lines before they are posted for next week’s games. Then compare them to the actual lines following the Week 7 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 Lookahead Lines

Week 8 look ahead lines include four division games. The league has to be disappointed in not only the scoring dropping to historical lows, but in the lack of marquee matchups. Especially with the Chicago Bears playing on Sunday Night Football at Los Angeles against the Chargers.
