After reviewing the current week’s odds, games and my NFL content and underdog picks, monitor the market moves each week and advance lookahead lines and compare as the actual week’s betting lines as provided by the leading online sportsbooks following each week’s games.

It even hit +4 at the SuperBook. The Vikings went off as a +2.5 underdog and won outright as one of our Week 2 underdog picks. Minnesota is a -2.5 favorite vs. the New York Jets to kick off Sunday Week 5 action in London, and the lookahead line favored the Jets.

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.

Bettors can also gain an edge or find value in the lines once the current week’s lines are released. 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.
