Week 7 Expert Picks & Predictions: NFL

Diving into the NFL world, the five lines that appear to be a wee bit favorable are …

5. Kansas City at Denver

LINE: Kansas City -7.5
ATS PICK: Kansas City
Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

Normally it’s no fun to take a road favorite by more than a touchdown, but obviously this isn’t any normal team going away from its own house.

How has Kansas City done so far on the road? It got by the Chargers, destroyed Baltimore, and last week locked down Buffalo. It came up with its two best defensive performances of the year away from Arrowhead, and now it gets a rivalry date with a Denver team with the NFL’s fourth-worst offense.

Turnovers are going to be the biggest issue. The Broncos turned it over ten times on the year and two or more times in the last four games. The Chief D has come up with at least one takeaway in every game so far.

So why is the line relatively low? The Broncos looked strong in the win over New England on the road last week, and it’s got a good enough defense to keep games from getting out of hand.

All you’re asking for is an 8-point win. Four of KC’s five wins came by eight or more.

Week 7 Expert Picks & Predictions: NFL

NEXT: Dallas at Washington

4. Dallas at Washington

LINE: Washington -1
ATS PICK: Dallas
Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

There’s never any reason to think Dallas can do anything right, but this might be when the team finally comes up with a decent enough performance to simply win the game.

This is basically a PICK game with the line going up slightly late for the Football Team. Do you believe in Washington any more than Dallas?

The Football Team lost to the Giants. Go from there.

There are way too many turnovers, the running game doesn’t exists, and scoring points has been like pulling teeth, coming up with 20 or fewer since the 27-17 win over Philadelphia to open the season.

Everyone fattens up on the Dallas defense, but Washington doesn’t have quite enough firepower to keep up if everyone on the Cowboy side is focused.

Will Zeke Elliott keep having fumbling issues? Is Andy Dalton going to feel more comfortable? Probably not, and yes.

Just win the game, Dallas. That might be asking for a whole lot considering the victories over Atlanta and the Giants required a ton of magic, but …

It’s due, and Washington is the team to help make it happen.

NEXT: Cleveland at Cincinnati

3. Cleveland at Cincinnati

LINE: Cleveland -3
ATS PICK: Cleveland
Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

Did you have Cleveland giving away the points in the Week 2 35-30 game? Were you on the wrong end of the semi-miraculous final Joe Burrow drive to break hearts all over America?

Here’s where you get it back.

This is Part One of Team Will Rebound From An Embarrassing Clunker – Parts 2 & 3 come next.

Cleveland had its shot to make a huge statement that it was among the elite of the elite with a trip to Pittsburgh last week, and …

38-7. It was a total disaster with the offense unable to do much of anything as the game was all but over right away.

It’s a rivalry battle against Cincinnati, it’s on the road, and it’s against a dangerous team with a fun passing game. However, the Bengals don’t have any run defense, they’re missing Joe Mixon, and most of all, they owe us.

The -3 isn’t a lot against a 1-4-1 team that shouldn’t be able to handle the Brown O.

And now for Part 2 …

NEXT: Green Bay at Houston

2. Green Bay at Houston

LINE: Green Bay -3.5
ATS PICK: Green Bay
Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

And now for Part 2 of Team Will Rebound From An Embarrassing Clunker.

Green Bay couldn’t get anything going against a jacked up Tampa Bay defensive front in last week’s miserable 38-10 road loss. Aaron Rodgers didn’t have any time to work, the defense couldn’t handle the Buccaneer offensive balance, and it was all ugly.

Aaron Jones might be hobbled against a Texan team that blasted Jacksonville and pushed Tennessee to overtime, but the Rodgers and company should have some fun.

The 3.5 just isn’t that much to overcome considering all five of Houston’s losses were by six points or more.

The Texan firepower is there to keep up the pace, but Green Bay is a whole lot better than it showed last week. It’ll look the part again, and by four points or more.

And ….

NEXT: Buffalo at New York Jets

1. Buffalo at New York Jets

LINE: Buffalo -10
ATS PICK: Buffalo
Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

And let’s close this off with Part 3 of Team Will Rebound From An Embarrassing Clunker.

Let’s not make this more difficult than it has to be.

There’s a reason why the line is just ten.

Buffalo beat the Jets at home 27-17 in the season opener, and now this is on the road.

Sam Darnold is back for the Jets, Buffalo has totally lost its mojo over the last two weeks, it hasn’t beaten anyone by more than ten, and it’s an NFL road game.

You don’t get rich taking double-digit road dogs in the NFL.

However, that ten-point win in the opener represented one of the best games the Jets played all year.

Since then, New York were obliterated by everyone but Denver, and even that was a nine-point home defeat.

Buffalo is better than it looked in the offensively-challenged struggle against Kansas City last Monday night, and it’s a whole lot stronger than the 42-16 loss to Tennessee on that strange Tuesday game.

The Jets losing by double-digits has become the norm, and Buffalo is just the team to make it happen.
