Monitoring NFL Lookahead Lines and Odds 

The 2023 NFL Week 14 lookahead lines are drawing interest as football in December kicks off following Thanksgiving. More playoff implication matchups and no more bye weeks following Week 13. The projected betting lines are worth monitoring as you watch and wager on the games and your Week 13 picks. 

These NFL Lookahead Lines or advance lines can be useful in not only projecting ahead to next week’s games and lines, but also to keep you from over-reacting to one game or the upcoming games results. 

Following Week 12 results that saw favorites go 12-4 SU and ATS for the best week of the season for many bettors, we took it in the A-- with our underdog picks adding more selections and paying the price. Now some of the adjustments to big wins by the Cowboys, 49ers and Dolphins over Thanksgiving with San Francisco and Miami laying double-digits in Week 14. The Cowboys have a big NFC East rematch with the Eagles in Week 14 that should be the most bet Sunday Night Football game of the season.  

Week 14 Lookahead Lines

Week 14 look ahead lines include six division games as teams push towards the playoffs, including the big division duel in Dallas between the Cowboys and Eagles (10-1). A huge Sunday Night Football game features Philadelphia at Dallas, who are 10-1 and 8-3 heading into Week 13. 

As you evaluate, watch and wager and live bet on the Week 13 games, be sure you review box scores, impactful injuries, misleading stats and meaningful data from each week's results. From there you can see where the leading online sportsbooks and bookmaker posts the following week’s lines on Sunday and Monday, and compare them to the lookahead lines and market moves during the week. 

Be sure to monitor the NFL weather as well with more rain, snow and colder temperatures ahead. 

How to use Lookahead Lines 

Advance NFL lookahead lines provide a sneak peak at the projected lines for the following week’s games. This advance information from top online sportsbooks, like BetOnline, provides lessons in understanding lines and projections before the current week’s games are played. 

The tendencies for many bettors is to over-react to previous weeks’ scores and results. The lookahead lines provide a sense of stability from the linemaker, who is unbiased in setting the lines in advance without the information from the current week’s contests. 

Bettors can also gain an edge or find value in the lines once the current week’s lines are released. They do this based on not only a potential over-reaction to the recent week’s results, but by using information they have on teams including power rankings. Making adjustments is part of the process, along with formulating an opinion on certain teams. This can be based on personnel, injuries, situations and stats that come to light as the season progresses. 

As you become more astute in your evaluations, betting and handicapping, you'll be able to use your skills to project and time the market better and make more +EV bets ahead of market moves.
