Week 7 Picks!

Here are my picks for Week 7 in the National Football League.......

Last Week's Record: 8-6-0
Overall Record: 44-40-6
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

Tennessee (+7) over LA Chargers (London): Interesting game in London that starts at 9:30 am EST and 6:30 am PST. I think the Titans will keep this game close. Everyone is going to pick the Chargers, but remember they played in Cleveland last week and now are over in London. I'll take the Titans as a live dog.

JACKSONVILLE (-5) over Houston: At 3-3, the Jags return home and need to get back on the winning track. I think they will overwhelm Houston at home, and their defense will play much better.

Detroit (-2) over MIAMI: I like the Lions to go on the road and get to 3-3 with a win over the Fish, who have to start Brock Osweiler for the second straight week, and I can't see him playing as well as he did last week in the win over Chicago.

Carolina (+5) over PHILLY: The Panthers head to Philly, and although I don't think Carolina is a good road team, I think they will play well here in this spot. I still think the Eagles are finding their way. Expect a close game, but look for a field goal to decide it late.

INDY (-7) over Buffalo: With Josh Allen hurt for the time being, the Bills have to go with newly signed Derek Anderson at QB because Nathan Peterman is just that bad. Now, Indy comes to town at 1-5, but very competitive the last few weeks. The Colts will get their second win of the season this week.

New England (-3) over CHICAGO: I like this game a lot in the early window. It will be interesting to see how the Bears defense matches up with the Pats offense. I was going to take the Bears, but I can't go against the Pats. I think they will be locked in.

Cleveland (+3) over TAMPA BAY: The Bucs have lost three in a row and they fired their offensive coordinator Mike Smith this week. The Browns come to town 2-3-1, but got buried at home to the Chargers last week. I'll take the Browns on the road getting the points.

Minnesota (-3) over NY JETS: The Jets have won two in a row and are 3-3. The Vikings are 3-2-1, and I think the Jets are in for it this week. This could be a tricky spot for the Vikings, but I think they will take care of business.

BALTIMORE (-2) over New Orleans: Great late game on Sunday afternoon. The Ravens are always as different team at home. I give their defense the advantage against the high-flying Saints. I'll take them at home only laying two points.
WASHINGTON (-1) over Dallas: Big game in the NFC East. I think the 3-2 Redskins will find a way to get it done at home over their bitter rivals. I'm still not sold on Dallas even after their blowout win over Jacksonville last week.

SAN FRANCISCO (+9) over LA Rams: This is the third game of a three game roadtrip for the Rams and they have to be feeling a little from the last two weeks. I think the Rams will win and get to 7-0, but look for the 49ers to be a tough out and keep it closer than people think.

Cincy (+7) over KANSAS CITY: The Chiefs will win the game at home, but look for the Bengals to keep it close. I would expect a back and forth game for awhile.

ATLANTA (-5) over NY Giants: The 1-5 Giants are done, and now they head to Atlanta to take on the Falcons. The Falcons are banged up all over the place, and injuries have taken their toll. Look for the Falcons to win and get to 3-4.
