Now that sports wagering has become legal and significantly more popular, many people enjoy getting more invested into the games. The best way to be successful and profit from sports wagering is by having the right information available to understand the best bets to make and watch the money pile up thanks to educated decisions. 

Here are some interesting money trends that showcase some tendencies that have occurred recently and could reveal a valuable investment for NFL Week 7.  

Game: Washington Football Team @ Green Bay Packers (currently at GB -8)

TREND: Green Bay is beating every spread since Week 1 dud

  • ATS: Packers are 5-0 (100%) over the last 5 weeks
 

Two words…Aaron Rodgers. The guy is filthy and has a top receiver in the league in Davante Adams. Washington hasn’t shown any consistency on either side of the ball, and it’s hard to see them being able to hang with Rodgers after getting decimated by Mahomes and company in the second half last week. An eight point line is not an ideal one to ride, but this could easily be a double digit victory for the cheese heads.

Pick: GB -8 (-110)

Game: Carolina Panthers @ New York Giants (currently at CAR -3)

TREND: Carolina covers on the road

  • ATS: Panthers are 8-1 (89%) over the last 9 road games
 

New York has seemed like a dumpster fire this season. Everything that has gone wrong has practically gone wrong from injuries to inconsistency. And now here comes Carolina who reps the third best defense in the NFL. Smart money is on the Panthers at a field goal all day.

Pick: CAR -3 (-110)

Game: Chicago Bears @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (currently at TB -11.5)

TREND: Chicago struggles on the road 

  • ATS: Bears are 3-6 (33%) over the last 9 road games
 

Tampa Tom is simply too much to handle for this horrid Chicago Bears offense. Chicago has a terrible offensive line so expect Tampa Bay to get pressure all night. Brady will have to overcome offensive injuries (AB and Gronk) but that’s nothing he hasn’t done before time and time again. 

Pick: TB -11.5 (-110)

Game: Indianapolis Colts @ San Francisco 49ers (currently at O/U 43)

TREND: San Francisco scores at home, Indianapolis scores on the road 

  • SF OVER: 4-2 (67%) over the last 6 home games
  • IND OVER: 5-1 (83%) over the last 6 road games
 

The lights are bright on Sunday night and both of these teams need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Here’s two coaches who have a plethora of innovative plays in their pocket, and this is the type of game to pull those out during a must-win matchup that neither team can afford to lose if they want to be considered legitimate contenders.

Pick: Over 43 (-110)

Game: New Orleans Saints @ Seattle Seahawks (currently at NO -4.5)

TREND: Saints defy the odds away from NOLA

  • ATS: Saints are 14-4 (78%) over the last 18 games on the road
 

Sean Payton gets an extra week to prepare for the Geno Smith-led Seahawks, and there’s some recent tape on him now after suffering a loss to Pittsburgh last week on SNF. Look for New Orleans’ defense to control the pace and make plays to shut down Seattle’s depleted offense. Parlaying this with the under (42.5) would be a solid play as well (+270). 

Pick: NO -4.5 (-115)

Bonus pick: NO ML & UNDER 42.5 (+180)
