The NFL season is often unpredictable. However, at week seven, we can start to see which teams are playing well, plagued with injuries, or, in the Jets’ case, playing without a solidified head coach. While all these factors often play into making an educated bet, sometimes you need a little luck to win big.
With several ways to bet on the action, including game lines, futures, and props, there is no reason anyone can’t find a line worth betting on for week seven. Below, we will discuss the different betting types and offer current odds from some of today’s most trusted online sportsbooks.
Week 7 NFL Game Lines
Heading into week seven, several game lines offer good value to bettors. I personally like the Jets over the Steelers and the Lions over the Vikings.
The Jets, while without a head coach, does have Aaron Rodgers, who was hot last week. The Jets lost last week, but without a coach, they have nothing to lose, and I expect Rodgers to air it out all game long. The Steelers will have Russell Wilson taking the field for the first time this year, but I hope he will struggle.
Both the Lions and Vikings are playing lights out, but the Lions will win this game, and the Vikings will suffer their first loss of the season.
While betting on the underdogs is sometimes a good strategy, I would likely bet on the favorite for most of the betting lines offered at Bovada (see below). Below are a few of the current game line odds for week seven of the NFL’s regular season.

Betting On NFL Futures
NFL Futures change as the season progresses, and since the Chiefs are still undefeated and back-to-back Super Bowl champs, they are still sitting on top of the odds boards at many sites. Popular options for future betting include the Super Bowl winner, division winners, conference winners, NFL’s most valuable player, offensive player of the year, and more.
Below are the current odds of winning the Super Bowl LIX from legal football betting sites.

NFL Prop Betting Options
NFL Props are also plentiful and often include team props and player props. Some of the most wagered-on props often include which team will score first, the total number of touchdowns, the longest field goal, the winning margin, and the total points scored. Once the regular season has ended, there are tons of Super Bowl props, including everything from halftime to national anthem props.
