At this time of the year, significant line movement can mostly be tied to injuries or trades that happen ahead of the NFL trade deadline. For example, the Titans were 10-point underdogs on last week's lookahead line but shifted to +10.5 at most books by Thursday. Then, Jeffery Simmons was reportedly dealt to the Bears, and within an hour ,+11.5 became available in the market.
The biggest move from last week's lookahead came in the Colts-Jaguars game with Indy dealing Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner to the Seahawks and 49ers, respectively. Once 7.5-point underdogs on the lookahead and even in some markets after the Sunday reopen, the Colts find themselves at +9.5 or +10 following the two trades as of Thursday.
Now, we turn to Week 9 lookahead lines prior to the kickoff of Week 8 and try to find value worth attacking early.
Let's get into the games that could offer line value to those who place early bets before Week 8 kicks off.
