Week 7 NFL Picks

Tennessee Titans (2-4) @ Buffalo Bills (3-3)
Sunday, 1:00pm, CBS, O/U 46.5
            Who owns the worst point differential in the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE? That would be the Tennessee Titans, who’ve been outscored by 90 points this season. You should have no faith in this team on the road.

BILLS (-3) over Titans

Top-5 Pick of the Week
 

Arizona Cardinals (4-2) @ Minnesota Vikings (4-2)

Sunday, 1:00pm, FOX, O/U 6.5
            Minnesota should win, but this feels like a 14-10 final.

Cardinals (+6.5) over VIKINGS

 

Cleveland Browns (1-5) @ Indianapolis Colts (2-3)

Sunday, 1:00pm, CBS, O/U 45.5
            Cleveland delivered the goods last week against Cincinnati at home, but a trip on the road against a Colts team that just got their ass kicked by the Jets doesn’t feel like a winning scenario.

COLTS (-2) over Browns

Top-5 Pick of the Week
 

Baltimore Ravens (5-1) @ Houston Texans (5-1)

Sunday, 1:00pm, CBS, O/U 48.5
            Unpopular opinion alert…losing Ray Lewis won’t hurt the Ravens much.

Ravens (+7) over TEXANS

Top-5 Pick of the Week
 

Green Bay Packers (3-3) @ St. Louis Rams (3-3)

Sunday, 1:00pm, FOX, O/U 45.5
            This is a tricky one (and the “Vegas Zone” betting line proves it), but I’ll roll with Aaron Rodgers keeping momentum from his six touchdown pass performance against Houston last week.

Packers (-5.5) over RAMS

 

Dallas Cowboys (2-3) @ Carolina Panthers (1-4)

Sunday, 1:00pm, FOX, O/U 46
            If Dallas doesn’t drop 30+ points this week, there’s no hope for their offense for the rest of the year.

Cowboys (-2.5) over PANTHERS

Top-5 Pick of the Week
 

Washington Redskins (3-3) @ New York Giants (4-2)

Sunday, 1:00pm, FOX, O/U 51
            This feels like a “Eli Manning throws for 525 yards and five touchdowns” game.

GIANTS (-6) over Redskins

 

New Orleans Saints (1-4) @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-3)

Sunday, 1:00pm, FOX, O/U 49.5
            One more week and the Saints don’t have to use an interim-interim coach. Good times!

BUCCANEERS (+2) over Saints

 

New York Jets (3-3) @ New England Patriots (3-3)

Sunday, 4:30pm, CBS, O/U 47.5
            Is that over/under for the game, or just the Patriots?

PATRIOTS (-10.5) over Jets

 

Jacksonville Jaguars (1-4) @ Oakland Raiders (1-4)

Sunday, 4:30pm, CBS, O/U 44
            What an utterly unwatchable game. It’s like the NFL version of a WNBA game.

RAIDERS (-6) over Jaguars

 

Pittsburgh Steelers (2-3) @ Cincinnati Bengals (3-3)

Sunday, 8:20pm, NBC, O/U 45
            The hardest game on the docket to predict, but we’ll bank on Pittsburgh’s recent history against Cincinnati and hope for the best.

Steelers (-1) over BENGALS

 

Detroit Lions (2-3) @ Chicago Bears (4-1)

Monday, 8:30pm, ESPN, O/U 47.5
           Hard not to like the Bears coming off a bye at home. Remember that when Detroit wins 20-14.

BEARS (-6.5) over Lions

Top-5 Pick of the Week
 

Last Week = 7-7

Thursday = 0-0-1 (thanks for declining the safety Harbaugh)
Season = 45-43-3
