With 14 games on the Week 7 schedule, four teams are favored by more than a touchdown. Six contests feature point spreads of a field goal or less, including one game that has moved to a pick’em.
Here are picks against the spread for every game in Week 7 of the 2020 NFL season, as well as the latest betting odds. Betting lines and trends are courtesy of OddsShark.
New York Giants (+4.5) at Philadelphia Eagles
Carson Wentz might have turned a corner after leading the Eagles to 57 total points in a pair of matchups with two of the NFL’s top-three scoring defenses. Philadelphia’s quarterback has proven he can have success without his top playmakers. Daniel Jones is averaging 188.8 passing yards with one touchdown and seven turnovers in his last five games for the league’s last-ranked offense.
Prediction ATS: Philadelphia
Carolina Panthers (+7.5) at New Orleans Saints
Carolina’s offense should improve upon its 16-point effort against Chicago. The Panthers are 11th in both total yards and yards per play. The Saints have given up at least 29 points in each of their last four games, going 2-2 in that span with a pair of wins by one possession. Carolina is 4-1 against the spread in its last five matchups with New Orleans.
Prediction ATS: Carolina
Green Bay Packers (-3.5) at Houston Texans
The Packers will bounce back from their embarrassing performance against the Buccaneers. That especially includes Aaron Rodgers, who went from playing at an MVP-level to throwing his first two interceptions of the season and failing to complete half of his passes. Rodgers was sacked four times in Tampa Bay. Houston’s pass rush has been underwhelming. The Texans have surrendered the second-highest passer rating.
Prediction ATS: Green Bay
Buffalo Bills (-13) at New York Jets
Every playoff contender should be able to defeat the Jets by at least two touchdowns. New York has been outscored by 110 points in six games. Because of injuries, the Jets have a worse roster than the one that the Bills defeated 27-17 in the season opener. New York hasn’t covered a spread yet.
Prediction ATS: Buffalo
Detroit Lions (+2.5) at Atlanta Falcons
Detroit’s losses have come against teams that have a combined 12-4 record. Atlanta still ranks last in yards per play allowed and opponents’ passer rating after beating Minnesota for its first win of the season. The Lions are averaging 29.7 points in their last three games.
Prediction ATS: Detroit
Cleveland Browns (-3) at Cincinnati Bengals
The Browns defeated the Bengals 35-30 in Week 2 with 215 yards on the ground. Cleveland’s No.1 ranked rushing offense will get back on track against the Bengals, who are 29th in opponents’ yards per rush. Myles Garrett could wreak havoc on Joe Burrow and arguably the NFL’s worst offensive line.
Prediction ATS: Cleveland
Dallas Cowboys (PK) at Washington Football Team
The Cowboys could be down four of their five starting offensive linemen in addition to their two-time Pro Bowl quarterback. Chase Young and a good Washington pass rush will present problems for a once-explosive Dallas offense. Everyone finds a way to move the ball against this Cowboys’ defense, so expect Kyle Allen to have his best game of the season.
Prediction ATS: Washington
Pittsburgh Steelers (-2) at Tennessee Titans
This line should probably be a pick’em, considering both teams are 5-0 against pretty weak schedules. Pittsburgh has the better defense, but Ryan Tannehill actually gives Tennessee the better quarterback. If Derrick Henry can have success against a great Steelers’ run defense, the Titans should stay undefeated.
Prediction ATS: Tennessee
Seattle Seahawks (-3.5) at Arizona Cardinals
Seattle is 4-0 in its last three games off a bye, and its last three victories during that stretch have come by an average of 13 points. It’s very possible that safety Jamal Adams will return, which would be important in trying to slow down Kyler Murray. As well as Murray has played, there still a significant gap between him and MVP favorite Russell Wilson.
Prediction ATS: Seattle
Kansas City Chiefs (-9.5) at Denver Broncos
Losing to the Raiders and struggling to beat the Chargers in overtime, the Chiefs seemingly let their guard down against opponents they’re expected to beat with ease. It could be a similar story Sunday when Kansas City takes on an above-average Broncos defense. Maybe Denver can slow down Patrick Mahomes for a few quarters and make things interesting.
Prediction ATS: Denver
San Francisco 49ers (+2.5) at New England Patriots
The Patriots can still be a very good team this season. A lack of practice time because of positive coronavirus tests might have affected New England in its upset loss to Denver. Bill Belichick will find ways to give Jimmy Garoppolo trouble.
Prediction ATS: New England
Jacksonville Jaguars (+7.5) at Los Angeles Chargers
All the Chargers do is play close games. Since beating Cincinnati by three points in the season opener, Los Angeles has four straight losses by one score. The Chargers are 2-8-1 against the spread in their last 11 matchups with an AFC opponent.
Prediction ATS: Jacksonville
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-3) at Las Vegas Raiders
Derek Carr could struggle against the Tampa Bay pass defense, which might be the NFL’s best. After making Aaron Rodgers look like a backup, the Buccaneers are allowing an 82.1 passer rating and rank second with 22 sacks. Tampa Bay allows just 3.0 yards per rush, which ranks first in the league. Tom Brady will play well against the 25th-ranked pass defense as his playmakers finally appear to be healthy.
Prediction ATS: Tampa Bay
Chicago Bears (+5.5) at Los Angeles Rams
The Bears probably aren’t as good as their 5-1 record suggests, but they still aren’t getting enough respect with this point spread. Chicago’s defense is sixth in opponents’ yards per play and seventh in points allowed. The Rams haven’t beaten a team outside of the incredibly weak NFC East.
Prediction ATS: Chicago
Season Record: 42-47-2
