NFL Week 7 Games
Jacksonville Jaguars @ New Orleans Saints
Oct. 19, 8:20 p.m. ET (TNF)
- Jaguars +1 (-110) @ Saints -1 (-110)
The Jaguars are short road underdogs despite being the better team as they travel to New Orleans to take on the Saints.
Jacksonville is on a three-game winning streak, knocking off the Falcons, Bills, and Colts during that span. New Orleans is coming off a tough loss to the Texans, looking to bounce back at home on a short week.
This looks like a letdown spot for the Jags, so give me the Saints -1.
Cleveland Browns @ Indianapolis Colts
Oct. 22, 1 p.m. ET
- Browns -2 (-110) @ Colts +2 (-110)
The Browns pulled off a dramatic upset against the 49ers despite starting P.J. Walker at quarterback.
The Colts offense has struggled with Gardner Minshew, who is averaging only 6.4 yards per attempt. That’s bad news against an elite Cleveland defense.
Deshaun Watson has a chance to return for this one, making Browns -2 look like the sharp play.
Las Vegas Raiders @ Chicago Bears
Oct. 22, 1 p.m. ET
- Raiders -3 (-112) @ Bears +3 (-108)
The Raiders are short road favorites against the Bears since it’s likely that Justin Fields (hand) will be out for this game.
That leaves undrafted rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent as the starter (5.9 yards per attempt vs Minnesota).
Even though Jimmy Garoppolo (back) may miss time, the Raiders still have the advantage under center with rookie Aidan O’Connell, who had a strong preseason.
Washington Commanders @ New York Giants
Oct. 22, 1 p.m. ET
- Commanders -2 (-108) @ Giants +2 (-112)
The Commanders bounced back with a road win over the Falcons, led by their defense, which forced three interceptions with three sacks on Desmond Ridder.
The Giants almost completed a shocking upset in Buffalo with Tyrod Taylor under center. The offense looked more functional with the veteran at the helm.
This has the look of a close NFC East divisional clash, so take the points with the Giants.
Detroit Lions @ Baltimore Ravens
Oct. 22, 1 p.m. ET
- Lions +3 (-110) @ Ravens -3 (-110)
This should be an exciting matchup between two prolific offenses in the Lions and Ravens.
Jared Goff is playing at a high level and this offense looks to take the next step with Jameson Williams providing the team with a downfield threat.
This has the look of a game that will come right down to the wire, so take the points with Lions +3.
Atlanta Falcons @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Oct. 22, 1 p.m. ET
- Falcons +2.5 (-108) @ Buccaneers -2.5 (-112)
The Falcons have finally started to get Drake London and Kyle Pitts more involved in the offense, which bodes well going forward.
Look for London to continue his hot streak and burn a vulnerable Buccaneers’ secondary. Atlanta just needs Desmond Ridder to do a better job protecting the football.
These are two relatively evenly matched teams, so it’s safer to take the underdog Falcons.
Buffalo Bills @ New England Patriots
Oct. 22, 1 p.m. ET
- Bills -9 (-110) @ Patriots +9 (-110)
The Bills narrowly escaped against Tyrod Taylor and the Giants, set to travel to New England to take on a reeling Patriots team that has now lost three games in a row.
Mac Jones continues to struggle, averaging only six yards per attempt while throwing seven interceptions.

It’s tough to see how the Pats can keep up with Josh Allen and company, making the Bills -9 look like the better play.
Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks
Oct. 22, 4:05 p.m. ET
- Cardinals +8.5 (-110) @ Seahawks -8.5 (-110)
The Seahawks are coming off a tough loss vs the Bengals, while the Cardinals are starting to look like the team we thought they were coming into the year, losing three games in a row, each by double digits.
Seattle got offensive tackle Charles Cross back last week, which bodes well for its offense moving forward.
Look for it to bounce back with a victory over Arizona this week.
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Los Angeles Rams
Oct. 22, 4:05 p.m. ET
- Steelers +3 (-102) @ Rams -3 (-118)
The Steelers-Rams game projects to be a close one, featuring an improved Pittsburgh team taking on a Los Angeles that has Cooper Kupp back in the fold.
Pittsburgh is coming off the bye and could keep this one close, especially with George Pickens emerging as a top wideout.
Take the Steelers +3 in a game that could be decided by a last-minute field goal.
Green Bay Packers @ Denver Broncos
Oct. 22, 4:25 p.m. ET
- Packers -2 (-110) @ Broncos +2 (-110)
It’s tough to trust the Packers as road favorites with the way that Jordan Love is playing right now, even against a disappointing Broncos team.
Despite Denver’s struggles, Russell Wilson has at least shown some improvement under head coach Sean Payton.
Look for the Broncos to lean on their running game en route to an upset win here.
Los Angeles Chargers @ Kansas City Chiefs
Oct. 22, 4:25 p.m. ET
- Chargers +5.5 (-105) @ Chiefs -5.5 (-115)
While the Chiefs are on a five-game winning streak, their offense hasn’t been nearly as good this season, averaging 24.5 points per game.
The Chargers have their flaws on defense but should be able to keep this one close with Justin Herbert playing at a high level.
Take Los Angeles plus the points in this AFC West divisional clash.
Miami Dolphins @ Philadelphia Eagles
Oct. 22, 8:20 p.m. ET (SNF)
- Dolphins +2.5 (-110) @ Eagles -2.5 (-110)
Here we have a potential Super Bowl preview between the Dolphins and Eagles.
Miami’s offense continues to be in its own tier compared to the rest of the NFL. Meanwhile, Philly has struggled a bit on that side of the ball, as it’s clearly affected by the loss of Shane Steichen.
Aside from a letdown vs the Bills, the Dolphins look like one of the best teams in football. Look for them to pull off the upset here in a statement win.
San Francisco 49ers @ Minnesota Vikings
Oct. 23, 8:15 p.m. ET (MNF)
- 49ers -7 (-108) @ Vikings +7 (-112)
The 49ers are heavy road favorites despite dealing with injuries to Trent Williams, Christian McCaffrey, and Deebo Samuel, which puts their status in question for this game.
The Vikings got a much-needed road win vs the Bears, despite playing without Justin Jefferson, who will remain out for the next few weeks.
It’s tough to trust San Fran laying this many points on the road given its injuries, so look for the Vikings to keep it close in this one.
