NFL Week 7 Picks Against The Spread 2019: Predictions ATS, Updated Betting Odds For Every Game
Ten teams are favored by fewer than four points in Week 7 of the 2019 NFL season. All but two of Sunday’s games feature a point spread of less than a touchdown.
Below are picks against the spread for every game in Week 7, as well as updated betting odds at Las Vegas and online sportsbooks. Betting lines and trends are courtesy of OddsShark.
Kansas City Chiefs (-3) at Denver Broncos
Patrick Mahomes might have his top two receivers healthy for essentially the first time all season. As bad as Kansas City’s defense is, Joe Flacco and Denver can’t keep up with the Chiefs’ offense. Kansas City is 6-1 against the spread in their last seven meetings with Denver.
Prediction ATS: Kansas City
Oakland Raiders (+6) at Green Bay Packers
Green Bay wouldn’t have beaten Detroit in Week 6 without a little help from the officials. The Packers needed late interceptions to beat the Bears and Vikings by one score. With the Packers’ offense still looking no better than average, this should be another close game.
Prediction ATS: Oakland
San Francisco 49ers (-10) at Washington Redskins
Four of San Francisco’s five wins have come by 13 points or more. The 49ers proved that they are for real with a win in Los Angeles. One of the league’s top defenses will completely dominate a Redskins’ offense that hasn’t scored more than 16 points in four straight games.
Prediction ATS: San Francisco
Arizona Cardinals (+3) at New York Giants
Arizona’s offense is starting to click with Kyler Murray posting 593 passing yards, 125 rushing yards, four total touchdowns and no interceptions during the team’s two-game winning streak. The Cardinals have been able to take advantage of bad defenses. The Giants are 28th in total defense.
Prediction ATS: Arizona
Houston Texans (+1) at Indianapolis Colts
This might be the toughest game to predict on the Week 7 schedule. Deshaun Watson is playing at an MVP-level, so that might ultimately help the Texans win this battle of two-loss teams.
Prediction ATS: Houston
Minnesota Vikings (-1) at Detroit Lions
This line indicates that the Lions might still be the NFL’s most underrated team. Detroit has played just about as well as anyone in the NFC North, barely losing to Kansas City and falling a few penalties short of winning at Lambeau Field. Minnesota is a much better team at home. Since tying the Cardinals in Week 1, the Lions have covered every spread.
Prediction ATS: Detroit
Jacksonville Jaguars (-3.5) at Cincinnati Bengals
It could be a while before the Bengals win their first game. The only time they scored more than 20 points was in Week 5 against the Cardinals’ 30th-ranked defense. It’s not asking much for Gardner Minshew and the Jaguars to win by more than a field goal. Cincinnati is 1-7 against the spread in their last eight home games.
Prediction ATS: Jacksonville
Miami Dolphins (+17) at Buffalo Bills
Points will be tough to come by for Miami, but it’s hard to expect Buffalo to win by more than 17 points with their offense. The Bills have scored more than 21 points once this season.
Prediction ATS: Miami
Los Angeles Rams (-3) at Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons can’t stop anyone, giving up 87 points in their last two games. Atlanta even allowed Marcus Mariota to lead the Titans to a 24-10 win, and he’s already been benched as Tennessee’s starting quarterback. The Falcons are tied for last in the NFL in sacks. That should help Jared Goff and the Rams’ offense get back on track.
Prediction ATS: Los Angeles
Los Angeles Chargers (+2) at Tennessee Titans
As poorly as the Chargers have played, it’s hard not to pick Los Angeles when the team is getting points against a team that’s starting Ryan Tannehill at quarterback. Phillip Rivers and the L.A. offense are bound to start scoring some more points. The Chargers are 22nd in points per game but 11th in yards per play.
Prediction ATS: Los Angeles
Baltimore Ravens (+3.5) at Seattle Seahawks
The Ravens still have to prove they are a legitimate contender, despite sitting atop the AFC North. Every Baltimore win has come against a team that’s under .500. Russell Wilson will pick apart a below-average pass defense, continuing his MVP campaign. The Ravens last covered the spread in Week 1.
Prediction ATS: Seattle
New Orleans Saints (+3) at Chicago Bears
The Saints might be the NFC’s best team even with Teddy Bridgewater at quarterback, yet this betting line indicates that they are equal to the Bears on a neutral field. Drew Brees’ backup is 4-0 straight up and against the spread as a starter in 2019. Keep rolling with New Orleans until they lose.
Prediction ATS: New Orleans
Philadelphia Eagles (+3) at Dallas Cowboys
If the Eagles lose, it’s going to be the result of their secondary getting worked, yet again. Can Dak Prescott and Co. repeat what Kirk Cousins and Minnesota’s offense did in Week 6? Considering the way Dallas has played during their losing streak plus the injuries they have on the offensive line and at wide receiver, the answer is probably no.
Prediction ATS: Philadelphia
New England Patriots (-9.5) at New York Jets
Sam Darnold isn’t going to win a second straight AFC Offensive Player of the Week award with the Patriots on the schedule. Against the NFL’s best defense, New York’s offense will return to looking like one of the league’s worst, at least for one game.
Prediction ATS: New England
Season Record: 43-49
