Another week and the Falcons are still undefeated against the spread. The Eagles are still undefeated straight up. Atlanta's an underdog again, while Philadelphia gets a bye week. Let's look at the slate with the betting trends, stats and notes you need to know.
Welcome to Week 7 of the Action Network's NFL betting primer.
1. The Big Apple!
The Giants (5-1) and Jets (4-2) are the two most profitable teams on the moneyline through six weeks this season.
- A $100 bettor would be up $812 on the Giants and $603 on the Jets.
- The last time both New York teams combined for nine wins through Week 6? Back in 2010.
- The Giants are 4-0 SU as underdogs this season. New York is only the third team in the last 20 years to go 4-0 SU or better as underdogs through their first six games: 2012 Seahawks and 2009 Broncos.
+ Jets are the second team in the Super Bowl era to have a winning record through six games despite being an underdog in all six (2001 Browns).
2. From The Six.
The Atlanta Falcons are 6-0 against the spread this season, the only undefeated team ATS in the NFL.
They are the third team to start 6-0 ATS in the last decade:
- 2021 Cowboys
- 2018 Chiefs
Thinking ahead: Only four teams have started 7-0 ATS since 1978:
3. Can't Cross Over.
The Jaguars have had their share of struggles through the years, but this is next level. The Jaguars face the New York Giants from the NFC this week.
+ The Jaguars have lost 18 consecutive games SU vs. the NFC dating back to 2018 (they are 2-16 ATS in those games).
+ Since 2012, the Jaguars are 4-39 SU vs. the NFC (8-35 ATS).
+ Since 2009, the Jags are 3-9 SU and 2-10 ATS as favorites vs. the NFC.
4. Unhappy Times.
Tom Brady is the G.O.A.T., but right now, Tom and Tampa are on a skid.
Brady and the Bucs have lost four consecutive games against the spread. This is the first time that has happened to Brady since failing to cover nine in a row between his 2007-08 Super Bowl run through his injury in 2008, into his first two games of the 2009 season.
+ Teams on a 4+ game ATS losing streak as a double-digit favorite have won seven straight games SU (last loss? 2007-08 Patriots in Super Bowl vs. Giants).
5. Underdog Jimmy.
The 49ers are listed as home underdogs against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs this week.
Jimmy Garoppolo is 14-6 SU and 16-4 ATS as an underdog in his career. That is the best winning percentage by any QB as an underdog in the Super Bowl era, including the playoffs.
All data, stats and trends are updated as of Sunday, Oct. 23, 10 a.m. ET.
