NFL Week 7 Line Movement

The Dallas Cowboys were the big winners in Week 6 with an impressive road triumph over the Seattle Seahawks. What impact did that result have on the line for their impending clash with the New York Giants? Let’s take a look at that big rivalry game as well as all the other lines that have moved for NFL’s Week 7 to help give you the bettor a sense of how to prep for the weekend’s action.

As per usual, these lines will often move due to several factors, whether it be a significant amount being bet on one side, key injuries, bad matchups, etc. that may have arisen within this week. While we aren’t privy to exactly why a decision to move the line was made over here in the News department, we’re happy to speculate and analyse those movements.

NFL Line Movement for Week 7

Tennessee Titans (+6) at Washington Redskins (-6)

Line moved from 4.5 – view all NFL lines

[sc:NFL240banner ]In the last two weeks, the Titans a) blew a 25-point lead against the Cleveland Browns at home and b) despite snapping their four-game losing streak last week, needed a last-second blocked field goal to beat the winless Jacksonville Jaguars, also at home.

Those two results suggest that the Titans are in fact a terrible team and the betting public has definitely noticed, causing the line to move by a whopping 1.5 points even against a Redskins team mired in their own four-game skid.

But Washington is far from a safe bet, especially with a quarterback in Kirk Cousins, who’s prone to throwing mind-numbing picks.

Cleveland Browns (-5.5) at Jacksonville Jaguars (+5.5)

Line moved from 5 – view all NFL lines

After a confident three-touchdown home win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns are looking like the real deal. The Browns’ rushing attack has certainly had staying power so far through six weeks, averaging 146 yards per game (third in the NFL) with a league-high eight touchdowns. As for the Jaguars… They’re still winless and still quite bad at football.

But if there’s something the Jags haven’t completely sucked at this season, at least statistically speaking, it’s been defending the run. They’re a less-awful 19th in the league, allowing 117 yards per game.

Minnesota Vikings (+5.5) at Buffalo Bills (-5.5)

Line moved from 4 – view all NFL lines

The Minnesota Vikings have just looked plain awful in their last two games, losing to the Packers and the Lions by a total score of 59-13. Rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was a lamb to the slaughter in their 17-3 loss to the Lions last week as he was sacked eight times and was picked off three times.

He won’t have it any easier against a Buffalo defense that has 19 sacks (tied for second in the league) and leads the league with just 67.5 rushing yards allowed per game.

However, this is still a very inconsistent Bills offense ranked 26th in points per game (19.7), just two spots above Minnesota (17.3) with a running game that has unexpectedly stalled. They’re averaging just 101 yards per game on the ground.

New York Giants (+6.5) at Dallas Cowboys (-6.5)

Line moved from 5.5– view all NFL lines

All aboard the Dallas bandwagon! The popularity of America’s team among bettors was always going to take a positive bump with their very impressive 30-23 win at Seattle, which improved their record to 5-1. It also didn’t hurt to see that the Giants were shut out, gave up 203 rushing yards and lost Victor Cruz for the year against the Eagles.

But while the Cowboys have looked good so far, are they ready to cover their biggest spread as favorites since 2011? The Cowboys are 0-5 in the last five games where have been favored by six or more points. Eli Manning and the Giants have also had their fair share of success in Dallas, going 4-1 SU/ATS in their last five visits to the Big D.
