Editors note: This column appears each week to give ESPN Chalk readers a first look at the next weeks NFL lines. The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook also puts out the advance lines on the prior Tuesday (so Week 8 lines will be posted this upcoming Tuesday), and well examine how the weekend action affected those lines from the openers on the Don Best odds screen. Well also look at which lines were the first to be bet by the professional bettors in Vegas (traditionally, those are the bettors most likely to fire away on these openers, though its not the exclusive club that it used to be). LAS VEGAS - The marquee matchup of NFL Week 7 was expected to be the New England Patriots visiting the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the game was conspicuously off the betting board at the Westgate SuperBook on Sunday afternoon.QB Ben Roethlisberger was injured in Pittsburghs 30-15 loss at Miami in the early games on Sunday and it was later learned that he had a torn meniscus and would undergo surgery on Monday.

Most other books opened the Packers between -8.5 and -10 with CG Technology on the high end, and the line has settled in between at -9 or -9.5. Hydro Flask Rose .
