SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS VS. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
| Lookahead | Opener | Current Line | |
| Spread | SF -3 | SF -3 | SF -3.5 |
| Total | 47 | 47.5 | 49.5 |
Spread: The spread spent the first half of the week locked in at 3 before ticking up to 3.5. There are nothing but 3.5s across the board.
Total: A pick release pushed this total up a few points from its opener to as high as 50 before settling in at 49.5.
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS VS. CHICAGO BEARS
| Lookahead | Opener | Current Line | |
| Spread | JAX -1 | CHI -2.5 | CHI -2 |
| Total | 42 | 42 | 44.5 |
Spread: We’ve yet to see this touch 3, as Chicago opened as the favorite after being a small dog in the lookahead market. I don’t see this line moving much before kickoff.
Total: A pick release pushed this total up from 42 to as high as 45.5 before money showed up on the under.
Situational Factors: This is a London game, and no team has more experience making the trip than the Jaguars.
