NFL Week 7 Betting Trends, Stats, Notes: Action Network Betting Primer

Where has all the scoring gone? The story of the NFL entering Week 7 is low scoring games and unders across the board. We are currently seeing the best under rate entering Week 7 since 1991.

Let's look at this week's slate with the betting trends, stats and notes you need to know. Welcome to Week 7 of Action Network's NFL betting primer.

All data, stats and trends are updated as of Sunday, October. 22, 1 a.m. ET.

Unders went 12-2-1 in Week 6 (best under rate for single week since 1996) and are 56-36-1 entering Week 7.

Unders are hitting at 61% rate, the highest under win rate through six weeks since 1991 and the second-most profitable start for unders since 2005. The best? Last season.

Unders are 164-115-2 through six weeks over the last three years. The best three years to the under through Week 6: 2022, 2023, 2021.

Scoring is down:

• Teams averaged 18.4 PPG in Week 6, the lowest since Week 15, 2014 (18.3).
• For only the second time since 1994, nine teams won in the NFL last week without scoring 21 points.
  + The 5.2 yards per play mark would be end of season lowest since 2007.
  + The 2.32 TD/game for a team would be lowest end season mark since 2006.
  + Yards per attempt is below 7.0. Hasn’t ended year there since 2008.

Saints are the only team in the NFL to play six games this season that have gone under the total.

Dating back to last season, the under has cashed in 12 straight Saints games, including going 15-1 to the under in their last 16 games overall.

The Saints' 12 straight unders is tied for the longest over or under streak outside of a single season in the Wild Card era with the 2010-11 Cowboys going over in 12 straight games and the 1996-97 Jets, also going over in 12 straight games.

Patriots are between 8.5 and 9-point home underdogs this week. Their biggest home underdog line since 2001. If they close at +9 or higher, it would be their highest home dog line since facing the Colts and Peyton Manning back in 2001, Tom Brady's first career start.

Public Sides, which are teams with 51% of tickets or more, are 56-32 SU, 51-34-3 ATS (+$1,222) this season.

The most profitable start for the public through Week 6 in the Bet Labs database. Public has been .500 ATS or better in all six weeks.

In Kirk Cousins' career, he has started 40 games in primetime – which are high profile games, night, playoffs, overseas, Saturday, etc. Cousins is 16-23-1 SU, 15-25 ATS. At night, he is 11-19 SU, 12-18 ATS.

4-3 SU in primetime since start of last season. ATS has been issue: 1-6 ATS.

In his career, Cousins is 2-10 straight up and against the spread on Monday Night Football. His 2-10 SU mark is the worst for any QB on MNF and his teams average 16.5 PPG on MNF while allowing 25 PPG.

Outdoor windy games have been a profitable trend recently for unders. Over the last 20 years, they are 57.1% to the under. In 2023, these games are 11-1-1 to the under, including 103-51-1 to the under last three seasons.

We are looking for games that close with 10+ MPH winds. Here is the current weather report via Action Network.

Falcons have struggled in the first half under Desmond Ridder, going 0-10 against the first half spread in his career. They are failing to cover first half spread by 6.4 PPG.

First half points under Ridder: 3, 9, 7, 10, 14, 3, 3, 0, 7, 10

Dating back to college, Ridder has lost 12 straight against the spread in the first half.

Currently, nine of the 13 games (69%) in Week 7 have a spread of 3 points or less.

Since the merger in 1970 there have only been five other weeks where more than two-thirds of the games had spreads of 3 points or less.
