NFL Week 7 Spreads, Money Lines and Totals
With six teams enjoying a bye the Week 7 NFL schedule has the fewest games of any this season with 12 contests on tap. The betting week opens with the red-hot Jacksonville Jaguars visiting the New Orleans Saints in the Thursday Night Football matchup and concludes with a NFC contest between the San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football.
Jacksonville moved into first place in the AFC South beating Indianapolis, 37-20, for their third straight win and cover. The excitement of the victory was muted by a knee injury to Trevor Lawrence leaving him questionable on a short turnaround. Look ahead lines had the Jags as a 1-point favorite with the spread moving in favor of the Saints when the numbers came out Sunday night. The Saints have allowed 20 points or less in 13 of their last 14 games with the UNDER 13-1 in that span and 6-0 this season.
The Niners and Philadelphia Eagles were the last remaining unbeaten teams and both were upset on Sunday, marking the earliest since 2017 that the NFL had no teams with zero losses entering Week 7. Frisco closed as a 9.5-point favorite over Cleveland when it was revealed Deshaun Watson wouldn’t play. A missed field goal that would have won the game sailed wide saddling the Niners with a 19-17 loss. Playmakers Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel exited the game with injuries and will be evaluated during the week. That didn’t bother oddsmakers who positioned the Niners as a converted touchdown favorite.
Hours after San Francisco lost the Eagles suffered the same fate giving up the final 17 points in a 20-14 loss to the Jets. Philly was favored by 6.5-points but failed to score in the second half. Maybe looking ahead to their Week 7 opponent cost the Eagles, who host AFC East leading Miami as a 2.5-point favorite with the total of 52.5 the highest on the Week 7 board in a matchup of 5-1 teams. Miami overcame an early 14-0 deficit to keep the Carolina Panthers winless with a 42-21 victory covering the 14-point line. Along with Detroit the Fins are the most profitable team in the NFL with five payouts in six games.
With Philly and San Francisco losing on Sunday the Lions are now tied for the best record in the NFC while holding a big lead as the only NFC North club with a winning record. They won their fourth straight downing Tampa Bay 20-6 on Sunday covering the 3-point line to improve to 5-1 SU and ATS. For the first time since opening the season with a win in Kansas City, the Lions play an AFC club heading to Baltimore as a field goal dog on the opening line. The biggest improvement has been on the defensive side with the club among the top 10 in total defense and scoring defense. Last season the Lions were last in total defense and 28th in points allowed.
Five divisional games dot the schedule headlined by the AFC West confrontation between the Chargers and Chiefs. Buffalo is a 9-point road favorite against the Pats in an AFC East battle. Two teams are favored by more than 7-points with the Seahawks one of them at -8 against the 1-5 Cardinals.
Week 6 was not a good one for offense, unless you’re the Dolphins. Only seven teams scored more than 20 points, which if you do the math leaves 23 clubs with 20 or fewer points. As a result the UNDER was 12-3. Oddsmakers have adjusted with the early total under 40 in four Week 7 games. Last week was a good one for the favorites, though, with teams laying points going 11-3 SU and 10-4 ATS. Behind backup QB P.J. Walker the Browns were the biggest upset winner handing the Niners their first loss while getting 9.5-points on the closing line. The early Week 7 line has Buffalo as the biggest favorite spotting New England 9-points in an AFC East confrontation.
