Our NFL Luck Rankings can be used to bet on unlucky teams that meet one of three criteria:

  1. A difference of at least 24 places in our weekly NFL Luck Rankings (Luck Difference).
  2. A Luck% difference (Luck Gap) of at least 50% between two opposing teams at any point in the season.
  3. A Luck% difference (Luck Gap) of at least 30% between two opposing teams in Week 13 or later.

Unlucky teams meeting at least one of these three criteria 122-70-6 (63%) against the spread (ATS) in regular-season games other than the last week of the season when using closing lines, which are the hardest to beat.

In Week 7, there were no Luck Matchups. That keeps the unlucky team in luck-based matchups to a 9-9-1 (50%) record ATS on the season.

The three Luck Totals in Week 7 consisted of two Luck Unders that went 1-1 to the under and a Luck Over that went 1-0 to the over. That moves Luck Unders to 5-4-0 on the season, while Luck Overs a perfect 4-0-0. Combined, Luck Totals have a 9-4-0 (69.2%) record this season.

As a reminder here are the criteria for Luck Totals:

  1. A Luck Total above +10 after Week 3.
  2. A Luck Total above +5 after Week 11.
  3. A Luck Total below -5 after Week 2.

Sides and totals meeting any Luck Ranking criteria are 18-13-1 (57.2%) on the season.

This week there are three Luck Matchups and three Luck Totals. Let's take a look.
