The Falcons have been dethroned as the lone undefeated team against the spread in Week 7, but now, the Eagles have their chance to go to 7-0 straight up this week vs. the Steelers. Let's look at the slate with the betting trends, stats and notes you need to know.

Welcome to Week 8 of the Action Network's NFL betting primer.

1. At The Brink

Aaron Rodgers has made 234 regular-season and playoff starts in his NFL career, and Sunday could be the first time he's a double-digit underdog.

Streak Over…

His 234 consecutive starts without being a double-digit underdog is the longest streak from the start of a quarterback’s career in NFL history (via Elias Sports Bureau).

Aaron Rodgers’ Largest Spread as Underdog:

+10.5: at Bills (2022)
+8.5: at Seahawks (L, 28-22; 2015)
+8: at 49ers (L, 37-20; 2020)
+7.5: at Rams (L, 29-27; 2018)

2. Dog Day Afternoon

So far in the 2022 season, underdogs have been cashing at a historic rate.

Underdogs are 43-64-1 straight up, meaning a $100 bettor would be up +$1,465, and they're 62-45-1 against the spread. The biggest advantage has been with road underdogs and bigger-sized dogs:

• Road underdogs this season: 36-26 ATS
• Underdogs of over a FG (3 pts) this season: 44-22 ATS

It's also the best start for underdogs of over a FG against the spread through seven games in the last 20 years.

3. A Streak for the Ages

The Pittsburgh Steelers' last four games:

• +10.5 at Eagles
• +7 at Dolphins
• +10 vs. Buccaneers
• +14 at Bills

The Steelers have been TD+ underdogs in four straight games — that hasn’t been done in Pittsburgh in over 40 years. In 1991, they were dogs of 6+ in four straight games.

4. Midseason Superlatives

Entering Week 8, it's time to look at the best and worst performing teams this season.

Best ATS: ATL 6-1, NYG 6-1
Worst ATS: 2-5 (GB, CAR, NO, JAX, DEN, TB)

Best SU: NYG: 6-1 (+$952), NYJ: 5-2 (+$680)
Worst SU: NO: 2-5 (-$413), DET: 1-5 (-$405)

Best Over teams: NO 5-2, CLE 5-2
Best Under teams: TB 6-1, IND 6-1, DEN 6-1

2H Unders: DEN 7-0, CIN 6-0-1
2H Overs: NO 6-0-1

1H ATS: PHI 6-0, SEA 6-1 | IND 0-7, CHI 1-6, ARI 1-6
2H ATS: CIN 7-0, IND NYG 6-1 | GB 0-7; TENN 0-6

5. Nightmare for Chalk

The Giants enter Week 8 undefeated straight up as underdogs this season, going a perfect 5-0 SU.

New York became the first team since the 1999 Lions and 2004 Jaguars to win five games as underdogs in the first seven games of the season.

If New York wins this week, they would join that 1999 Lions team, who won 6 games SU as underdogs in their first 8 games that season.

Where Did All The Scoring Go?

Unders continue to hit across the NFL

In 2022, unders are now 64-44 (59.3%), the best start for unders since 1994 (through seven games).

Unders have finished .500 or better each and every week this season:

• Week 1: 11-5
• Week 2: 11-5
• Week 3: 8-8
• Week 4: 8-8
• Week 5: 9-7
• Week 6: 10-4
• Week 7: 7-7

Here are your highest under hit percentages through six games in the Wild Card era.

Highest Pct Games Under – Through 7 games since 1990

1991: 60-36-1 (62.5%)
1994: 57-38-3 (60%)
2022: 64-44 (59.3%)

We've Hit The Middle Point…

This week starts some teams eighth game of the season, which is just about the middle of the year into the second half. Let's dive into a few ways to profit later in the season (Game 8 or later):

+ Avoid the bad teams now. Teams with a win percentage of 40% or less facing a team with a win percentage of 60% or higher in Game 8 or later are just 159-187-11 ATS in the last decade.

Week 8 match: Bears & Steelers

+ Time to bet struggling offensive teams. In Game 8 or later, teams to score 14 pts or less in consecutive games are 108-68-5 against the first half spread in the last decade.

+ Ride or fade the surprise team? Teams to win and cover at least three consecutive games who didn’t make the playoffs the previous year are 172-147-8 ATS (53.9%) last 20 years. In games 1-7, they are 45-46-1 ATS. In games 8-18, they are 127-101-7 ATS. In November specifically, these teams are 70-38-3 ATS.

Week 8 match: Giants and Jets

+ With a double-digit home favorite, in a divisional game, look under late in the season. In a team's first seven games, the under in games with a double-digit home favorite are just 27-33-1. In games 8-18, the under in games with a double-digit home favorite are 89-60-5 (59.7%).

Rapid Fire

Broncos vs. Jaguars

London Trends…

+ Favorites of over a FG overseas are 16-3 SU, 12-7 ATS.
+ In 35 international games, favorites are 27-8-1 SU, 23-13 ATS.
+ At Wembley Stadium, favorites are 17-5-1 SU, 14-9 ATS
+ Both international games in 2022 have gone over the total.
+ The under has hit in the last three Jaguars games in London.

Tough Time Ahead? The Broncos are averaging 14.3 PPG heading overseas. Struggling offenses don’t perform well in the international series. Teams scoring 17 PPG or less are 3-12 ATS overseas, failing to cover by 6.5 PPG.

What a Jaguars Win Would Mean…

• Trevor Lawrence: 2-0 SU/ATS overseas
• Trevor Lawrence: 4-19 SU, 6-17 ATS in USA

Entering Week 8, Trevor Lawrence is 5-19 SU and 7-17 ATS in his career, the least profitable QB ATS since he was drafted in 2021.

Favorites! Again! The Jaguars are now 0-5 straight up as favorites since 2020, failing to cover the spread by 16.8 PPG. Since 2020, all other NFL teams have a cover as a favorite.

+ The Jaguars are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games.
+ Trevor Lawrence 1H ATS: 9-15 ATS (0-4 as a favorite)

All The Under: The Broncos are 6-1 to the under this year, going under by 12.6 PPG, largest margin to the under in the NFL.

For Denver, the second half under is also 7-0 in their games this season.

Falling Behind: Twelve teams had double-digit win totals entering the season. The Broncos are the only team with two wins or less.

New York Impact: The Broncos lost to the Jets in Week 7. The last fourteen teams to lose to New York are 2-12 ATS in their next game dating back to 2019.

Bears at Cowboys

Under at Jerry World: The last six Cowboys home games have gone under the total.

Just Unfair: The Bears are at a distinct disadvantage this week. Teams who play back-to-back road games with the second game on short rest on a Sunday are 15-26 SU and 17-23-1 ATS in the last 20 years.

Bad Start: The Bears are 1-6 against the first half spread this season.

Short Rest:Justin Fields has played one game on short rest: TNF vs. the Commanders this season (12-7 loss).

+ Fields is 6-11 ATS as a starting QB, including 5-10 ATS as an underdog.

Off Foxboro: The Bears just beat the Patriots in New England. Teams coming off a game vs. the Patriots, playing on short rest, are 14-21 SU, the least profitable previous opponent on the moneyline. When that team plays on the road in their next game? 3-12 SU.

Can They Repeat? The Bears are 4-25 on the moneyline as above a FG underdog since 2019 (3-19 SU as a TD dog or bigger since 2016).

Cover Kings: Since the start of last season, the Cowboys (18-7 ATS) are the most profitable team against the spread.

All About The Opponent…

Dak Prescott is 49-40-2 ATS (55.1%) in his career.

• 22-8-2 ATS (73.3%) vs. opponents below .500 SU
  A $100 bettor would be up +$1,293 – second to Brady since 2005 ($3,109)
• 14-23 ATS (37.8%) vs. opponents above .500 SU
  A $100 bettor would be down $975 – 108th of 110 QBs since he was drafted in 2016.

High Regard. Dak Prescott when he listed above a TD favorite: 8-1 SU, 7-2 ATS

+ Saints second half overs are 6-0-1 this season.

Can Vegas Keep It Going?Raiders current streaks: 3 straight covers, 4 straight overs.

Points, Points, Points: The Saints and Raiders have both gone over the total in 4 straight games entering this contest. Just the 3rd time that’s happened in the last decade:

+ 2018 – TB/ATL, 57.5 (34-29; Over)
+ 2016 – MIA/BUF, 44.5 (34-31; Over)
+ 2014 – DEN/NE, 52.5 (43-21; Over)

Saints games are going over the total by 10.6 PPG, the highest margin in the NFL.

The Good & Bad of Derek Carr…

+ Carr is 17-26-1 ATS on the road since 2017, the 2nd-least profitable road QB ATS in that span (109 of 110 QBs).
+ Carr is 13-7-1 ATS facing a team coming off extended rest (5th of 112 QBs since he was drafted).

All A Fantasy…

Josh Jacobs is the first player to score 30-plus PPR fantasy points in three consecutive games since Davante Adams in Weeks 7-9 of 2020, and the first running back to do it since Todd Gurley in Weeks 5-8 of 2018. (via Tristan H. Cockcroft)

Panthers at Falcons

Coming off Brady: Teams are 21-18 SU and 24-14-1 ATS after facing the Bucs since Tom Brady arrived in 2020. The Panthers were 2-1 SU/ATS, within one score in all three games.

Can Carolina Hang?Teams coming off an upset as a double-digit underdog are just 17-49 SU and 27-36-3 ATS when listed as an underdog in their next game.

+ Teams coming off an upset as a double-digit underdog are just 2-18 SU, 8-11-1 ATS when listed as an underdog vs. a divisional opponent in their next game.

They Are Still Carolina: The Panthers are 1-28 SU and 5-24 ATS when their opponent scores 17 pts or more since 2020.

+ Panthers last 14 games with backup QB since 2019: 3-11 SU, 4-10 ATS

Getting There:The Falcons are 1.5 wins away from eclipsing their preseason win total of 4.5.

Not Covering The Number:Marcus Mariota is 9-4 SU but just 3-10 ATS as a favorite of over a FG.

Up or Down? The Falcons started 6-0 ATS. Time to see how they finish…

6-0 ATS teams last decade perform after hot start…

2022 Falcons: 6-0 ATS -> 0-1 ATS
2021 Cowboys: 6-0 ATS -> 7-5 ATS

Steelers at Eagles

Hard To Beat Philly…

+ Eagles at home off a bye last 20 years: 12-3 SU, 7-7-1 ATS.
+ Eagles are 3-0 ATS at home this year (10-4-1 ATS last 15 home games).
+ Eagles are 6-0 against the first half spread this season.

Big Prep Advantage. Eagles are undefeated and coming off a bye week.

Undefeated teams straight up on a bye are 27-14 SU and 26-15 ATS over the last 20 years. When those teams are at home, they are 15-1 SU and 14-2 ATS.

+ No team has been off a bye while undefeated SU this late since the Broncos, Bengals & Packers back in 2015.

Not The Right Start. Kenny Pickett is the +400 favorite to lead the NFL in interceptions this season. He has 7, two behind Matt Ryan. Pickett opened the season at +5000 to lead the NFL in INT.

Points in Philly. The over is 7-1 in the last 8 Eagles home games.

Pennsylvania Battle. The Eagles and Steelers have met 13 times since the merger in 1970. This week will be the biggest spread in the series:

Biggest spreads:

PHI -10.5, 2022
PIT -8, 1974
PIT -7.5, 2020

The Tomlin Rundown…

+ Mike Tomlin: 0-2 SU/ATS on the road in the Eagles, losing by a combined score of 49-9.

+ Tomlin is 20-13 SU and 24-9 ATS as an underdog vs. teams above .500 SU and ATS.
+ Tomlin is 6-0-1 SU/ATS in his last 7 games vs. opponents off a bye.

He Always Finds A Way…

Mike Tomlin is 39-15-1 ATS (72.2%) as an underdog from Week 5 forward in the regular season.

+ When the game is in Eastern Time in this spot, Tomlin is 33-9-1 ATS (79%).

Could Get History: Tomlin's Steelers have only closed at +11 or higher twice in his career:

+14, 2022 at BUF (L 38-3)
+11.5, 2021 at KC (L 42-21)

Dolphins at Lions

Time To Buy In? Lions home overs have been hot lately…

+ Won four straight (3-0 in 2022)
+ 19-8 since 2019, 36-23 since 2015 — best home team to the over in that span.
+ When the total is 45+ since 2019, Lions home overs are 16-6.

History On The Other Side:The total for Dolphins/Lions should close at 50 or above this week. This season, the under is 9-4 in the 13 games with a total of 50 or more (43-33, 57%, since start of last season).

Struggling Offense: The Lions have scored six total points combined in their last two games. Teams to score seven points or less in consecutive games are 23-12-1 against the first half spread in their next game since 2010.

Tough for Goff. Goff has been middle of the pack as a favorite but straight up as an underdog has been a problem.

• Favorite: 38-17 SU, 28-25-2 ATS
• Underdog: 10-28-1 SU, 20-19 ATS

Of 120 QBs since 2016, Goff is ranked 116th in ML profit as an underdog.

Can't Cross Over. Jared Goff is 1-7-1 SU and 3-6 ATS vs. the AFC since 2020.

Not So Pretty For Tua Either…

+ Tua Tagovailoa vs. teams allowing 28+ PPG: 1-5 ATS
+ Tua vs. teams with 33% or less win pct: 3-6 ATS

Cardinals at Vikings

Kyler's Korner…

+ Kyler off a SU win: 14-11 SU, 14-10-1 ATS
+ Kyler doesn’t love long rest (eight days or more): 3-7 SU, 4-6 ATS

+ Kyler is 25-28-1 against the second half spread — 19-11-1 as an underdog, 6-17 as a favorite.

Tough Spot for Kirk…

+ Kirk Cousins is 2-5 ATS off a bye in his career, including 9-16 SU and 7-18 ATS on extended rest (eight days or more). In the last 20 years, Cousins’ 7-18 ATS mark is the third-least profitable of 208 QBs (Rivers and Romo).

+ Since 2010, the Vikings are 3-10 ATS off a bye week, the least profitable team in the NFL.

• W/O Tom Brady: 39-38-1 ATS

No Disadvantage: Belichick is 33-10 SU and 28-15-1 ATS on short rest over the last 20 years.

Just Unreal: Belichick is 36-11 SU and 39-7-1 ATS after a loss as either an underdog or under a TD favorite last 20 years in the regular season.

Going Back East: The Jets are coming back east after playing in Mountain Time Zone. Teams who played on road in Mountain or Pacific and then play in Eastern are 80-47-1 (63%) against the first half spread since 2017.

Eleven Away. It's been 11 years since the Jets have made the playoffs, the longest drought in the NFL. They were +650 to make the playoffs entering the season, +135 now.

Can They Stay Afloat? The Jets were the second team in the Super Bowl era to have a winning record through six games despite being an underdog in all six of those games (2001 Cleveland).

The Browns ended up 3-7 SU, 3-6-1 ATS after the hot start.

+2.5

Titans at Texans

Division Battle. Mike Vrabel is 18-8 SU, 15-11 ATS vs. AFC South, but just 3-5 ATS without Ryan Tannehill in that spot.

Overall, Vrabel is 29-24-1 ATS with Tannehill as a starter and 10-12 ATS without him.

Same Story:Week 8 is Davis Mills’ 18th career start, up to this point, all 17 starts have been as an underdog. If the Texans close as favorites, it will be Mills' first such start of his career.

Mills has never closed below a 3.5-point underdog, and 14 of 17 starts have come as a TD underdog or more. Mills is 3-13-1 SU career.

The Texans have been favored once since December of 2020.

Where's The Speech? The Titans are 0-6 against the second half spread this season.

Vegas Vacation: Teams after facing the Raiders in Vegas are 6-15 ATS in their next game. These teams have failed to cover the spread in six consecutive games.

+ Since the Raiders moved to Vegas in 2020, they are the least profitable prior city of all 32 NFL teams.

Giants at Seahawks

Tough Road: The Giants played on road in Eastern time last week and continue their road trip west to face the Seahawks. Teams to go from Eastern to Pacific on the road are just 14-15 SU but 9-19-1 ATS since 2019.

How To Bet The Jones…

+ Daniel Jones career Road/Neutral: 15-6 ATS (No. 2 of 87 QBs since 2019, behind just Kyler) — Jones has one start in Pacific time in his career: 2020 at LAR, +13.5 (L 17-9).

Commanders at Colts

Tough Start: The Colts are now 0-7 against the first half spread this season and have lost nine straight 1H ATS dating back to last year.

Backup Time: Washington turns to Taylor Heinicke again this week with Carson Wentz still hurt. Washington backup QBs are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games since 2019.

Why the Colts are going away from Matt Ryan…

+ Matt Ryan is 28-42-1 ATS over the last five seasons. A $100 bettor would be down $1,542 — least profitable QB in the NFL.

+ Matt Ryan is 53-36 to the under since 2017, by far the most profitable QB to the under in that span.

+ Since 2014, Matt Ryan is 16-31 ATS as a home favorite, the least profitable QB in the NFL (101 of 101 QBs).

49ers at Rams
