Opening Betting Lines & Spreads for All Games
The NFL schedule for Week 7 features six games where teams are favored by at least 7 points. The Saints take on the Cardinals on Thursday Night Football. Tampa Bay takes on Carolina. Chiefs-49ers rematch of Super Bowl 54 is the most anticipated game.
The Buccaneers are 10-point favorites over the Panthers. Kansas City, Tennessee and Jacksonville are the shortest favorites on the board at -2.5. The only over/under north of 50 belongs to the Seahawks and Chargers at 52.
The Chiefs-49ers game is the most compelling one in Week 7. The Chiefs are coming off a loss to the Bills. Carolina is 1-5 both straight up and against the spread in 2022. Tampa Bay has failed to beat the spreads in four straight games. The Panthers have failed in 17 of their 23 games since the start of last season.
The Seahawks entered Week 6 as the top-graded offense per DVOA. Seattle is allowing 30.8 points per game. Los Angeles has the sixth-ranked passing attack per VDOA, and each of their last three games have gone over the total. Chicago's offense ranks 29th on offense, while Justin Fields has worst passer rating of any starting QB. New England's run first mentality and strong defense are working in favor of a low-scoring game, as they run the ball at the NFL's seventh highest rate and rank ninth defensively per DVOA in the league.
The lookahead line for this game is Bengals -7. The line opened Sunday night at Cincy -6.5. Atlanta beat the spread again on Sunday, but upset the visiting 49ers 28-14.
Green Bay Packers are a public team. They are fresh off back-to-back losses against New York teams. Washington is a bottom-five team per DVOA. The team has won just one fewer game than Green Bay. Green Packers should be laying 5.5 points against Washington.
