2023 Week 7 NFL Picks


 McDaniels demonstrate his ability to call Time Outs


Atlanta Falcons @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-2.5)  – Neither team is playing that well.  Ridder could have gotten the Falcons a win must was too turnover prone.  The Bucs have not been shartp either although they will get Mike Evans back into the lineup who is dealing with a hamstring injury.  Chris Godwin has averaged 6 receptions and 96 yards in his career against the Falcons.  

Las Vegas Raiders @ Chicago Bears (+3) – Neither team inspires much confidence.   The Raiders at least have a healthy running back.  While Justin Fields looked good against the Commanders, he was not able to keep it up against the Vikings.

Cleveland Browns (-2.5) (LOCK) @ Indianapolis Colts – The Browns defense has been stellar and goes against a Colts team that will be without its start QB Anthony Richardson for the remainder of the season while DeShaun Watson returns for the first time in a month.  

Washington Commanders (-1.5) @ New York Giants- The Commanders will try to keep their momentum against the Giants who will be playing without Daniel Jones but will start Tyrod Taylor.  The Giants don’t have many receivers that burn defense although Washington’s pass defense must not play down to the level of its competition like it did against the Bears or guys like Wan'dale Moore could get more involved in the passing game.  

Detroit Lions (+3) @ Baltimore Ravens – The Lions have been playing well although perhaps the Ravens can do enough to force Jared Goff into some mistakes.

Buffalo Bills @ New England Patriots (+8.5) -  Mac Jones has looked bad and the Bills do have a propensity to play down to their competition like they did against the Giants and the Jets.  

 

Seattle Seahawks @ Arizona Cardinals (+7.5)  –  Perhaps the Cardinal can continue their trend of covering the spread coming off a bye.

Pittsburgh Steelers (+3)  @ Los Angeles Rams- This is another game where the Steelers fans will outnumber the LA Fans.  The Rams running back situation is also a mess with Kyren Williams out.   

Los Angeles Chargers @ Kansas Chiefs (-5.5) – The Chargers played a competitive game against the Cowboys although they appear to be missing Mike Williams. The Chiefs running game has appeared to have found magic with Pacheco.

Green Bay Packers (-1) @ Denver Broncos – The Packers have not looked great after Jordan Love lead a comeback win against the Saints who was playing without Derrick Carr in critical stretches of the game. The Broncos though seeme to be playing in quicksand.

Miami Dolphins @ Philadelphia Eagles (-2) -  The Dolphins look like a great team although the Eagles may rebound after a bad loss against the Jets.  Still, the Eagles secondary hasn’t looked great. 

 

San Francisco 49ers (-6.5)(LOCK) @ Minnesota Vikings-  According to Adam Schefter, all signs point to Christian McCaffrey playing.

Week 7 Straight up – 1-0

2023 Against the Spread - 38-41
