It’s Monday, which means it’s time to analyze NFL week 7 opening lines.
We’ll take a look at all of the line movement for the point spread and over/under betting markets.
NFL Week 6 Betting Recap
Let’s take a look at the results from NFL week 6 betting action.
Four teams were on a bye week, so there were 14 games scheduled for week 6.
Favorites went 7-7 ATS. That brings the overall season record for favorites to 38-52-3 ATS. We’ve seen less underdogs cashing the last two weeks in the NFL.
Six of the underdogs that covered ATS (Giants, Jets, Falcons, Steelers, Patriots and Seahawks) also won their game straight-up. The biggest upset was the Steelers defeating the Buccaneers.
The over/under record for week 6 is 4-10, which brings the season over/under record to 36-56-1.
