Week 7 Picks


After last week's performance, it is safe to say
that Wentz isn't the best quarterback in the NFL
(via CrossingBroad)

NY Giants (-2.5) @ Los Angeles - Odell Beckham has found his groove over the past few weeks.  The Giants run defense has held up well in earlier weeks against Ezekiel Elliot and Matt Jones as New York looks to apply the same formula to Todd Gurley.  

New Orleans @ Kansas City (-6.5) - The Chiefs have played well at home with 2 wins and also came away with an impressive road win against the Raiders.  The Saints lack of defense is also problematic even against a limited Alex Smith.

Minnesota (-3) @ Philadelphia - The Vikings defense should be able to contain rookie Carson Wentz, who had an extremely poor showing against Washington.  It will be interesting to see if Bradford is affected by the boo birds at Philadelphia.

Indianapolis (+3.5) @ Tennessee - Indianapolis will be playing without its top offensive lineman in Jack Mewhort but Andrew Luck could do enough to keep the Colts in this game.  

Buffalo (-2.5) @ Miami - After an 0-2 start, the Bills look like one of the best teams in the NFL.  The Dolphins did come away with a surprise victory against the Steelers and should not be taken lightly but the Bills look like the superior team.

Washington (+1) @ Detroit - Washington looks to build on its 4 game winning streak as Detroit has had trouble putting opponents away at home including the Titans and the Rams.  Washington has not started the season 3-0 since 1999.  

Cleveland  @ Cincinnati (-10.5) - The Bengals look to get back on track against a depleted Cleveland team.  

Oakland (+2) @ Jacksonville - The Raiders' offense struggled last week against the Chiefs but look to get it together against the Jaguars who have come away with a close win against the Bears.

Baltimore (+2.5) @ NY Jets - The Ravens look to end a 2 game winning streak against a relatively weak Jets team where Geno Smith makes his first start of the season.

San Diego @ Atlanta (-5.5)  - Atlanta should be motivated after a tough loss to the Seahawks.  The Chargers have lost its last 3 road games.

Tampa Bay (+1) @ 49ers - Jameis Winston looks to get the Bucs back on track against a struggling 49ers team.

New England (-7) @ Pittsburgh - Big Ben is out as Brady's revenge tour continues.

Seattle (+1) @ Arizona  - Seattle looks to extend its division lead on Arizona and could do so if they can pressure Carson Palmer.  

Texans @ Denver (-8.5) - Brock Osweier makes his return back to the Denver Bronco; so far his poor quarterback has not made the Broncos regret giving the former backup QB an extension.
