Opening line

Eagles -6.5, Over/Under 44.5

Why the line moved

UPDATE 8 P.M. ET THURSDAY: At FanDuel, Philadelphia opened -7 and dropped to -4 by Monday, but the line ticked up to -4.5 Tuesday and is still pinned there right now, as kickoff approaches. Tickets and money are both about 4/1 in favor of the Eagles. The total opened at 45.5 and bottomed out at 43.5, and it's now at 44.5, with 62 percent of bets/66 percent of money on the Over.

UPDATE 7:15 P.M. ET THURSDAY: An hour before kickoff, PointsBet USA's Patrick Eichner said the Eagles are back up to -5, after dropping as low as -3.5 from an opener of -6. Point-spread tickets and money are both running about 3/1 on Philadelphia. The total opened at 45 and dipped to 43, but has since rebounded to 44.5. with 56 percent of bets and 67 percent of money on the Over.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: A few hours before kickoff, the Eagles are -4.5 at DraftKings, after opening -6 Sunday night and plunging to -3.5 on Monday. Point-spread tickets are running 3/1 and money 4/1 on Philadelphia. The total opened 45.5 and got as low as 43 Tuesday, then jumped back to 45 Wednesday and is now 44.5. Tickets count is 2/1 and money 3/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 8 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Philadelphia opened -6.5 at PointsBet USA and dropped to -3.5 by Monday afternoon, thanks largely to injury news. But the Eagles appear to be getting a little healthier heading into this prime-time Thursday tilt and are now back up to -4.5. "The Eagles are attracting heavy action so far on the spread, with 81 percent of the bets and 78 percent of the handle," PointsBet's Patrick Eichner said.

UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET TUESDAY: This number already made a big move at The SuperBook, dipping to Eagles -3.5 by midday Monday, then ticking to -4 today. "The Eagles move was due strictly to injuries,” SuperBook risk manager Cameron Coombs said, noting right tackle Lane Johnson (ankle) is still dinged up, tight end Zach Ertz (ankle) could be out several weeks, and running back Miles Sanders (knee) is expected to sit this week.

---

Philadelphia's comeback fell short in a 30-28 home loss to Baltimore on Sunday, but it impressed the oddsmakers more than New York squeaking out a 20-19 home win over Washington. That said, after opening the Eagles -6.5, The SuperBook ticked down to -6 shortly after posting the line Sunday evening.

Opening line

Bengals +3.5, Over/Under 51.5

Why the line moved

UPDATE 12:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: At BetMGM Nevada, Cleveland moved from -3.5 to -3, then back to -3.5 this morning, but it's all Browns in this game. Point-spread ticket count is 4/1 and money 6/1 on Cleveland.

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET SUNDAY: PointsBet USA's Patrick Eichner said Cleveland moved from -3.5 to -3, then back to -3.5 this morning. "Eighty-one percent of spread bets and 83 percent of spread handle on the Browns."

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Both teams are a little dinged up, and most notably, Cincinnati won't have running back Joe Mixon (foot). The Browns opened -4 at FanDuel and went to -4.5 early, then dropped to -3 before setting at -3.5. Ticket count and money are both running about 4/1 on Cleveland. The total opened at 51.5, peaked at 52 and bottomed out at 50, and it's now 50.5. Seventy-two percent of bets and 81 percent of dollars are on the Over.

---

Cincinnati was a 7.5-point underdog Sunday at Indianapolis and had an upset in the making, but got outscored 10-0 in the fourth quarter and lost 31-27. Cleveland wasn't nearly as crisp in its role as a popular 3-point pup at Pittsburgh, where the Browns got boatraced 38-7.

That certainly impacted the Browns-Bengals line at The SuperBook, as 4-2 Cleveland opened -3.5 against 1-4-1 Cincinnati.

Opening line

WFT +3, Over/Under 49

Why the line moved

UPDATE 12:45 P.M. ET SUNDAY: This line jumped the fence at BetMGM Nevada, from Cowboys -2 to Washington -1, all on sharp Washington action. The public is on Dallas, with ticket count about 4/1 and money 5/1 on the Cowboys.

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET SUNDAY: The Redskins saw some sharp play earlier in the week, and this line jumped the fence at PointsBet USA, from Dallas -3 to Washington -1. However, that's counter to the activity on this game. "Heavy action on the Cowboys, with 79 percent of spread bets and 76 percent of spread handle," PointsBet's Eichner said.

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET FRIDAY: This game is down to pick 'em at The SuperBook, after opening Dallas -3. That entire move occurred Tuesday morning. "The game was adjusted because of the way the Cowboys looked in the Monday night game," SuperBook manager/oddsmaker Eric Osterman said, alluding to Dallas' 38-10 home loss to Arizona. After dropping to pick, the line has bounced between Cowboys -1, Arizona -1 and the current line of pick.

---

Washington fell just short at the New York Giants on Sunday, losing 20-19 after a failed 2-point conversion in the waning seconds. Dallas, which is without Dak Prescott (ankle) for the rest of the year, still has Week 6 work to do in the Monday night game against Arizona.

Still, The SuperBook opened the Cowboys -3, and there was no line movement Sunday night.

Opening line

Falcons -3, Over/Under 57

Why the line moved

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET SUNDAY: Atlanta dropped from -3 to -1.5 at PointsBet USA, but Eichner said the Falcons are getting action. "Sixty-one percent of spread bets and 59 percent of spread handle on the Falcons."

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Atlanta opened -2.5 and moved to -3 at FanDuel, but was down to -1.5 Saturday night. The spread is getting two-way action with a slight lean toward the Falcons, who are taking 52 percent of tickets and money. The total moved from 55.5 to 56.5 to 54.5, though the Over is landing 82 percent of bets/72 percent of money.

---

In its first game since firing coach Dan Quinn, Atlanta rolled over host Minnesota 40-23, and Detroit had a similarly easy time in a 34-16 win at Jacksonville. The SuperBook opened the Falcons -3, and there was no line movement Sunday night.

Opening line

Saints -8, Over/Under 51.5

Why the line moved

UPDATE 10:30 A.M. ET SUNDAY: The Buccaneers opened -7.5 at PointsBet USA and spent the past couple of days at -7, before ticking to -6.5 this morning. New Orleans is without wideouts Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. "A bit surprising in terms of action here, with 55 percent of bets on the Panthers and 58 percent of handle on them, as well," PointsBet's Patrick Eichner said.

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET FRIDAY: The SuperBook moved the Saints from -7.5 to -7 Thursday afternoon, in the wake of news that wideout Michael Thomas has a hamstring injury and likely won't play. "We took a sharp bet on the Panthers at +7.5 and moved to +7 (even). We didn't want to stay at any form of 7.5, especially with the Michael Thomas news," Osterman said. The line is now at 7 flat.

---

New Orleans is rested up, coming off a bye week, while Carolina was dealt a 23-16 Week 6 home loss as 2-point chalk against Chicago. That prompted The SuperBook to post the Saints as a touchdown-plus favorite for this NFC South clash, and there was no movement Sunday night.

BACK TO TOP

Opening line

Jets +10.5, Over/Under 48

Why the line moved

UPDATE 12:45 P.M. This line moved all over at BetMGM Nevada, from Bills -12 to -13.5, then down to -10. "Wiseguys all over the Jets," BetMGM's Randy Madayag said. However, tickets and money are running 4/1 on Buffalo, with the public buying the Bills.

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET SUNDAY: The Bills plunged from -13 to -10 at PointsBet USA, yet are still taking the bulk of the action. "Overwhelming amount of action on the Bills, 89 percent of spread bets and 88 percent of spread handle on them," Eichner said.

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Sam Darnold should be back at QB for the Jets, returning from a shoulder injury. Coupled with some Bills receiving corps absences, the line at FanDuel went from Bills -13.5 Thursday morning to the original opener of -10.5 by Friday night. Still, tickets and money are running more than 9/1 on Buffalo.

UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET TUESDAY: The Bills jumped two points to -12.5 Monday and reached -13 this morning at The SuperBook, with the anemic Jets (0-6 SU and ATS) seemingly an auto-bet-against. "The Bills movement was due to the Jets looking terrible this week. Laying goose egg never helps power ratings," Coombs said, alluding to New York's 24-0 loss at Miami on Sunday.

---

New York continues to make its case for the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, losing at Miami 24-0 to fall to 0-6 SU and ATS. Buffalo is 4-1 SU (3-2ATS) and atop the AFC East, though it still has some heavy Week 6 lifting to do, in a 5 p.m. ET Monday clash with visiting Kansas City.

Opening line

Texans +3, Over/Under 56.5

Why the line moved

UPDATE 12:45 P.M. ET SUNDAY: This game has the largest point-spread ticket-count disparity of all Week 7 matchups at BetMGM. Tickets are 16/1 on the Packers, and although the money is much closer at about 2/1, there's plenty of Green Bay parlay play, and the book will need the home 'dog.

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET SUNDAY: Green Bay moved from -3 to -3.5, then back to -3 Saturday night, but make no mistake, it's all Pack at PointsBet USA.""Bettors all over the Packers coming off a loss," Eichner said. "Eighty-six percent of spread bets and 89 percent of spread handle on them."

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Green Bay moved from -3 to -3.5 early in the week and stuck there all week long at The SuperBook. However, liability continues to pile up on the Pack. "It looks like the Texans are going to be our biggest need for the early games. Big parlays on the Packers," SuperBook manager/oddsmaker Eric Osterman said.

---

The Packers opened -3 at The SuperBook, and in the wake of their 38-10 blowout road loss to the Buccaneers, the line didn't move Sunday night.

"Today’s performance may give some bettors pause on taking Green Bay, but I’d still expect to need Houston big at kickoff," Murray said Sunday evening. "It'll probably be one of the biggest decisions of the week."

Opening line

Cardinals +3, Over/Under 55

Why the line moved

UPDATE 8:10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Just before kickoff, the Seahawks have now moved to -4 at South Point sportsbook, where oddsmaker Jimmy Vaccaro estimates 75 percent of straight-bet tickets and money are on Seattle. "And all the live teasers, parlays and moneyline parlays will be tied to Seattle. This game will make or break us today." Also in the past hour, the total leapt from 54.5 to the opening number of 56, so per usual, the book needs 'dog and Under in a stand-alone game. Better still: "The biggest thing would be the upset outright winner," Vaccaro said. "Arizona winning outright would be a Scoop Jackson for us."

UPDATE 5:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: FanDuel pegged Seattle a 3.5-point favorite all week, save for a few hours at -4 Tuesday. The Seahawks are drawing 73 percent of tickets and 67 percent of money on the spread. The total opened at 56.5, hit its low of 54 this morning and is now at 55, with 70 percent of tickets/83 percent of money on the Over.

UPDATE 1:15 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Seattle is up to -3.5 from an opener of -3 at DraftKings, where the Seahawks are getting 76 percent of tickets and 71 percent of money for a game that's now in the Sunday night slot, at 8:20 p.m. ET. The total dropped from 56 to 54 and is now at 54.5, with 78 percent of bets and 88 percent of money on the Over.

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET FRIDAY: The SuperBook moved the Seahawks to -3.5 on Monday, and the line is still stuck there now. The bigger news is that this game has moved from Sunday afternoon into the Sunday night slot, due to COVID issues surrounding the Buccaneers-Raiders game. "We have not moved the line because of the time change," Osterman said. "It's expected that we will see a lot of Seahawks money from the public anyway, but now, with the extra time to bet, I'm sure we will have an even bigger need for the Cardinals to cover and win."

UPDATE 8 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: "Seventy-eight percent of spread bets and 76 percent of spread handle is on the Seahawks so far. No movement on the spread from the Seattle -3.5 opener," PointsBet USA's Patrick Eichner said. "Given that the line hasn’t moved, it will be interesting to see if some sharp money comes for Arizona +3.5 and can move that number onto the key number 3."

---

Seattle opened -3 at The SuperBook, with no movement Sunday night.

"The Seahawks are coming off their bye, and it's a short week for Arizona," Murray said, alluding to the Cardinals' Monday night game at Dallas. "Seattle's defense has been very shaky. There should be money both ways, but we will need Arizona."

Opening line

Patriots -4, Over/Under 45.5

Why the line moved

UPDATE 4:10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: The Patriots opened as 5-point favorites at FanDuel and fell to -2.5 by Monday afternoon, and they're currently at -3 pre-kick. It's two-way action with lean toward New England, which is attracting 57 percent of bets and 54 percent of money.

UPDATE 1:15 P.M. ET SUNDAY: DraftKings has the Patriots at -3, after opening -3.5 and falling to -1.5 midweek. Ticket count is two-way with a slight lean toward San Francisco, at 53 percent, but 66 percent of point spread money is on New England. The total bounced from 45.5 to 43.5 to 44.5, with tickets 2/1 and money 4/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: FanDuel moved the Patriots from -5 to -1.5 by midweek, but the line has since climbed back to -3 on two-way action. New England is getting 56 percent of bets, and point-spread money is split right down the middle.

UPDATE 8 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: "It's fairly split action so far on this one, with the Niners coming off a big win against the Rams and the Patriots' loss against the Broncos," PointsBet USA's Eichner said. "Fifty-two percent of spread bets and 54 percent of spread handle are currently coming in on the Pats." The line opened New England -3 and earlier today spent a brief time at -2, but it's since rebounded to -3.5.

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET TUESDAY: This line reopened Patriots -3 on Monday morning at The SuperBook and moved to -2.5 by Monday afternoon. "The Pats movement is based off how the 49ers played Sunday night," Coombs said. "Beating a solid Rams team after having a few down weeks helped move the spread."

---

New England opened -4, and per The SuperBook's standard operating procedure, the game came off the board Sunday night when the Rams-49ers game kicked off. The game will go back up Monday morning.

"I’ll be interested to see how the public plays this game, after the New England performance today," Murray said Sunday evening, noting the Patriots' pathetic performance in an 18-12 home loss to Denver as 7-point favorites.

Opening line

Broncos +8.5, Over/Under 48.5

Why the line moved

UPDATE 4:15 P.M. ET SUNDAY: As kickoff looms, Kansas City is down to -7 at FanDuel, after opening -8.5 and getting as high as -9.5. But that's almost entirely due to the weather in Denver today, as the Chiefs are still taking 83 percent of bets and 85 percent of money on the spread. The total dropped from 48 to 44 but is now 45.5, with 73 percent of tickets/62 percent of money on the Over.

UPDATE 1:15 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Weather is wreaking havoc on the line and total in this game. Kansas City opened -9 at DraftKings and went to -9.5 early, then plunged as low as -6.5 by this morning, before ticking back to -7. Still, it's all Chiefs, who are attracting 83 percent of bets/86 percent of money on the spread. The total bottomed out at 44 and is now 44.5, after opening at 48. Still, tickets are 4/1 and money 2/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Kansas City stretched to -9.5 by midweek at The SuperBook, but the line is now -7.5, though that's not because a load of sharp money rolled in on the Broncos. Rather, the great equalizer is rolling into the Denver area. "Weather. It's going to be windy, with 6 to 10 inches of snow," SuperBook manager/oddsmaker Eric Osterman said. "We were out ahead of the market on that one." The total opened 48.5 and, to Osterman's point of being ahead of the market, hit 43.5 by mid-Saturday morning, before ticking up to 44.

---

Denver is coming off a stunning 18-12 victory at New England, but all 18 points came on field goals, which surely won't hold up against the explosive Kansas City offense. The Chiefs still have their Week 6 game Monday at Buffalo, but The SuperBook pegged K.C. 8.5-point road chalk in this Week 7 AFC West matchup.

BACK TO TOP

Opening line

Raiders +2.5, Over/Under 53

Why the line moved

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Just before kickoff, Tampa Bay is a 3.5-point favorite at FanDuel, and this line bounced around quite a bit this week. The Bucs opened -2.5 and stretched to -5.5 Saturday, before dipping back today. Despite that drop, point-spread tickets and money are still running 4/1 on Tampa Bay.

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: It appears the Raiders' offensive line will be mostly intact today after passing COVID protocols, although right tackle Trent Brown is out after testing positive midweek. The Buccaneers opened -3 at DraftKings and dropped to -2 before surging to -4.5, and they are currently -4 for a 4:05 p.m. ET kick, after this game was moved from the Sunday night slot. Tickets are running more than 2/1 and money more than 4/1 on Tampa Bay. And although the total is down to 51.5 from a 53.5 opener, 72 percent of bets and 84 percent of money are on the Over.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: This game went back on the board Saturday morning at The SuperBook, after the latest round of COVID testing for the Raiders came up with no new positive cases. The Bucs went back up at -3.5 and moved to -4.5 within a few hours. This game was pegged for Sunday night, but was moved to 4:05 p.m. ET.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: As noted Wednesday, right tackle Trent Brown was placed on the injured reserve/COVID -19 list, with the rest of the offensive line starters held out of practice. Today, the offensive line was again not at practice, prompting The SuperBook and several other operators to take this game off the board this morning. "Wednesday, there was a good chance that those Raiders players would return to practice today. Once we found out that those players were not going back, the decision was made to take the game off the board until more information comes out."

UPDATE 8 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: The Bucs opened -3 at PointsBet USA and ticked up to -3.5 earlier today, and there's a potential COVID issue to keep an eye on with the Raiders. "Heavy action on the Bucs, coming off their huge win against the Packers," Eichner said. "Eighty-four percent of spread bets and 88 percent of spread handle are on the Bucs' side. As the Sunday night game, this will definitely be one of our more important results for the week." 

---

Tampa Bay opened -2.5 on the road, and there was no movement Sunday night at The SuperBook. But there'll be no shortage of cash flying on this Sunday Night Football contest.

"This will be a huge-volume game," Murray said. "The Bucs' D looked awesome today (vs. Packers), but there should be a lot of support for the Raiders, especially in this market. The Raiders are off a huge win (at Chiefs) and a bye week. The Bucs are very popular this year, but the Raiders will see a lot of support, too."

Opening line

Rams -6.5, Over/Under 46

Why the line moved

UPDATE 7:45 P.M. ET MONDAY: Less than an hour before kickoff, the Rams are back to the opening number of -6.5 at The SuperBook, after initially dropping to -5.5 and spending most of the week at -6. "Some public and sharp action on the Rams -6," SuperBook manager Reyna Hernandez said. "We've got good two-way moneyline parlay liability on both sides, more on the Bears." The total just got to 44, down from the opener of 47, and Hernandez said there's even some public play on the Under. Summing up the book's rooting interest: "It looks like we lose on both sides. We actually need the Rams to win and the Bears to cover, and Over 44.5, for a smaller decision."

UPDATE 5:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: About three hours before kickoff, FanDuel has the Rams -6.5, the same as the opening number, though the Rams spent a couple of days at -5.5 last week and were at -6 from Wednesday afternoon until earlier today. This game is drawing much stronger point-spread action on the underdog Bears, with ticket count 4/1 and money 2/1 on Chicago. The total opened at 46.5 and bottomed out at 44.5, then went to 45.5 and is now 45. The Under is grabbing 57 percent of bets and 63 percent of dollars.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: BetMGM's New Jersey hub opened the Rams -6.5 and is down to -6, with plenty of bettors thinking highly of the Bears tonight. Point-spread tickets and money are both running about 2/1 on Chicago. "The Bears are the surprise team in the NFC, (and) bettors don't think Chicago is getting enough respect," sportsbook manager Matt Cosgriff said. "BetMGM will be looking for the Rams to cover." That's even with the book getting a $110,000 bet on Rams -6. The total is down to 44.5 from an opener of 46, with the Under taking 58 percent of tickets and 70 percent of money.

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: DraftKings moved from Rams -6.t to -5.5 and up to -6, but the action is very much on the Bears, with point-spread tickets and money running 3/1 on Chicago. The total fell from 46 to 44.5, with 55 percent of tickets and 77 percent of dollars on the Under.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Los Angeles dipped from -6.5 to -5.5 Monday and is now -6 at FanDuel. Interestingly, it's all Chicago, with the Bears landing 85 percent of bets and 73 percent of money on the spread. The total fell from 46.5 to 44.5, thanks to 65 percent of tickets and 70 percent of cash going on the Under.

---

There was no early movement at The SuperBook off the opener of Los Angeles -6.5, and this game came off the board when the Rams-49ers game kicked off Sunday night. Bears-Rams will go back up Monday morning.

"The Bears don’t get any respect, but they just keep winning," Murray said of the NFC North leaders, who are 5-1 SU (4-2 ATS) heading into the Week 7 Monday nighter. "There will be moneyline bets on the Bears. It’s a long way off, but I’m guessing we will want the Rams to win but not cover at kickoff."

BACK TO TOP

Opening line

Titans +1, Over/Under 52.5

Why the line moved

UPDATE 12:45 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Sharp play took this game from Pittsburgh -1.5 to Tennessee -1.5, with the pros getting on the Titans. But Joe Public is backing the Steelers, and ticket count and money are both 2/1 on Pittsburgh.

11 A.M. ET SUNDAY: This line moved from Pittsburgh -1 to -2, then jumped the fence to Titans -1.5 and is now Tennessee -1 at PointsBet USA. Despite that move, 65 percent of tickets and 73 percent of money are on Pittsburgh.

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET FRIDAY: "We took some sharp money on the Titans at +2.5, and the line has steadily moved since then," Osterman said of action at The SuperBook. The Titans are now 1.5-point favorites.

UPDATE 8 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: This line is on the move today at PointsBet USA, from Steelers -2 this morning to Titans -1 by this afternoon. "Sixty-six percent of the money is on the Steelers, though, and 81 percent of the handle, as well," Eichner said, noting the game is taking on a Pros vs. Joes flair, with sharp play helping move the number.

---

"We opened Steelers -1 and are now up to -2.5," Murray said of a big Sunday night move at The SuperBook. "The Titans just keep winning, but haven’t gotten much respect in the betting market. We will definitely need them here."

Opening line

Chargers -9.5, Over/Under 49.5

Why the line moved

UPDATE 4:10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: With 15 minutes until kickoff, Los Angeles is -7.5 at FanDuel, just a tick above the opener and well below the -9.5 high point of last Sunday night. However, tickets and money are still 2/1 on the Chargers.

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Los Angeles opened -9.5 and quickly dropped to -8 last Sunday night, then to -7.5 Tuesday, but the Chargers are up to -8 this afternoon at DraftKings. The Chargers are taking 70 percent of tickets and money.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: The Chargers opened -7 at FanDuel and quickly climbed to -9.5 last Sunday night, but there was a quick correction back to -7, and the line spent most of the week at -7.5. Ticket count and money are running about 2/1 on Los Angeles. 

UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET TUESDAY: Los Angeles is down to -8 from the opener of -9.5 at The SuperBook, but there's not much action on this game yet. "The Chargers movement was market movement," Coombs said.

---

The Chargers, coming off their bye, are 1-4 SU, and the Jaguars are 1-5 SU. But Los Angeles has played well and is in pretty much every game, as evidenced by its 4-1 ATS mark, while Jacksonville is 2-4 ATS. So The SuperBook pegged the Bolts 9.5-point favorites Sunday night, and bettors didn't dispute it, as there was no early movement.
