NFL Betting Odds Week 7

Week 7 of the NFL is here and there are some must-watch games on the slate. After a Week 6 that saw favorites and public darlings come out on top, what can we expect in the week ahead?

We kick off Week 7 in the NFL with the Denver Broncos traveling to New Orleans to take on the Saints. QB Spencer Rattler filled in last week for an injured Derek Carr and while the Saints lost, Rattler looked better than expected. As for the Broncos, it continues to be an up-and-down year for Rookie Bo Nix.

We have another London game this week as the New England Patriots and rookie QB Drake Maye head across the pond to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in their second home. The Jags are off to an atrocious 1-5 start with fans calling for the firing of head coach Doug Pederson. Meanwhile, The Pats are also 1-5 but there are reasons to be positive based on how Maye played in his first-ever NFL game.

In NFC-East action, the Philadelphia Eagles take on the New York Giants in Week 7. The Eagles looked about as bad as you can in a win in the NFL last week, and head coach Nick Sirianni has come under fire after trading barbs with fans. Still, at 3-2, the Eagles are just a half-game behind the Commanders for first place in the division. As for the Giants, their offense looks terrible without Malik Nabers as they struggle to find the end zone each week.

Probably the best game on the Week 7 NFL schedule comes to us from Minnesota as the 4-1 Detroit Lions go head-to-head with the unbeaten Vikings. Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, David Montgomery and Sam LaPorta picked Dallas apart last week on the way to a 47-9 win. As for Minnesota, QB Sam Darnold and the rest of the team will be well-rested coming off a bye.

This week's national Game of the Week features the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers in a rematch of last season's Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the Chiefs have kept up their part of the bargain, with a 5-0 record. Ont he other side of the field, the 49ers have been a bit of a mess. At 3-3, San Francisco is already 60% of the way to last year's total losses. Injuries have plagued the Niners, but can Brock Purdy lift them above the competition?

How To Read NFL Odds

If you're new to betting, NFL betting odds can be confusing, but they are easy to learn. Most games will have a favorite, the team most likely to win, and the underdog, the less favored team. Many NFL sportsbooks will display NFL odds in American odds.

With American odds, you’ll get a three-digit number and a symbol. The symbol tells you how to interpret the number. A minus (-) symbol will tell you how much you need to wager to make $100 in profit. A team with minus (-) odds is usually the favorite.

With a plus (+) symbol, the three-digit number tells you how much profit you can make from a $100 bet. Plus odds are usually awarded to the underdog.

Here’s an example of an NFL moneyline with American odds:

Pittsburgh Steelers: -220

Las Vegas Raiders: +130

The Steelers are the favorite in the example above. If you wager $220 on the Steelers, you’ll make $100 in profit, giving you a $320 payout. Meanwhile, a $100 bet on the Raiders will get you $130 in profit, a total win of $230.

Moneyline Odds

A moneyline bet is one of the most basic wagers you can place on the NFL, as all you have to do is predict which team will win. As the bet type is straightforward, so are the betting odds. You will see American odds listed next to each team in an NFL matchup, indicating how much you’ll earn if the team you back wins.

Point Spread Odds Explained

With point spread betting, your sportsbook will apply imaginary point advantages and disadvantages to NFL teams. The team you back on the spread has to win the game, including these imaginary scores. The favorite will have a point deficit to overcome, while the favorite will have a point advantage.

You have two numbers to consider when placing point spread bets. These wagers will look like this in your sportsbook:

Minnesota Vikings: -6.5 (-110)

Green Bay Packers: +6.5 (-110)

In this case, the Vikings need to win by 7 points or more for a point spread bet to be successful, while the Packers can lose by 6 points or fewer for a winning point spread bet. The American odds tell you how much you can expect to win if your chosen team covers the spread.

The point spreads above have a “hook,” a 0.5 number, which prevents any exact matches. However, not every point spread has a hook, so your point spread could be -7 or +3. If you bet on a point spread and the team wins by exactly the point spread, you’ll get a push, where you’ll get your stake back with no profit.

Totals and Over/Under Odds Explained

Your NFL sportsbook will set a points total for both teams combined in an NFL game, and you can bet on whether the final total will be over or under this amount. As with point spread betting, sometimes totals lines won’t have a hook, so if the points scored hit the total set by the sportsbook, you’ll get a push.

Other Betting Terminology for NFL

You can use a parlay wager to combine betting lines from different events into one wager. With a parlay bet, your whole bet loses if even one prediction fails. Some sportsbooks will offer teasers, letting you change point spreads to suit your needs as long as you create a parlay of teased point spreads.

Finding odds and sportsbook comparison

Every sportsbook provides different NFL betting odds. The Oddschecker platform compares prices across several top US sportsbooks and gives insight into which site offers the most generous odds. You can find odds comparisons for a range of NFL events, including NFL moneyline odds, NFL point spread odds, and NFL totals odds for the upcoming week of action. You’ll also find NFL futures odds throughout the season on markets like teams to win the Super Bowl.

The Different Prop Bets In NFL

A prop bet is a wager on the statistical performance of a player or a team, such as a quarterback throwing a certain number of passing yards or a team hitting a particular number of rushing yards. As prop bets allow you to wager on a variety of parts of an NFL game, many NFL bettors enjoy adding these bets to same-game parlays.

Some of the most famous prop bets in sports feature in the Super Bowl, with fans often betting on the color of the Gatorade poured over the winning team and how long the featured performer will take to sing the Star Spangled Banner.

Betting On NFL Futures

With an NFL future bet, you can wager on significant events in the far future weeks and months in advance, like the winner of the Super Bowl, a division, or an end-of-season award. Many sportsbooks will open futures for the next Super Bowl the day after the last one finishes. The earlier you place your NFL futures, the greater the odds you’ll receive, as there are more unknowns further in advance.

The Latest NFL Lines For The Playoffs

You can bet on the NFL playoffs throughout the season, and we’ll always display the most relevant odds comparisons for you. What odds are displayed for the NFL playoffs will depend on what point of the season you’re looking.

If you’re looking during the preseason, you’ll get futures on teams to make it to the playoffs or win conference championships. Meanwhile, once the playoff teams are locked, you’ll find more betting options to compare, such as NFL moneyline odds, NFL totals odds, and NFL point spread odds.

What Are The Vegas Odds For The NFL?

You may have heard the phrase “Vegas has the price at…” or some other variations of this from your sports friends. Sometimes, people refer to Las Vegas or Vegas odds for NFL games. This expression comes from when Nevada was the only US state to offer a full suite of sports betting options, and major sportsbooks in Las Vegas set the precedent for NFL odds.

However, several US states have started offering sports betting since the US Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA) in 2018. Now, there is no noticeable difference between odds offered by sportsbooks in Vegas and major online operators across the US.
