Week 6 was odd for our game picks, not only in 2024, but also in previous seasons. Chalk ruled, as favorites dominated, both at home and away, and also took care of business with the numbers to demonstrate that they were unquestionably the stronger teams.
It’s unlikely that everything will go according to plan in Week 7, given that huge underdogs have pulled off major upsets in most weeks this season. However, there are some intriguing “pick ’em” competitions with tiny spreads.
The Bills’ defense has recently encountered some difficult pass defenses, as has Josh Allen. This is a get-well game at home, as Tennessee struggles through the air with Will Levis and may be forced to abandon the run at times. The Titans’ defense has plenty of gaps for OC Joe Brady to exploit as the Bills rely more on the rushing attack.
With Drake Maye at quarterback, the Patriots have regained confidence, freeing their main passing weapons just in time to face Jacksonville’s dismal pass defense in London. The Jaguars have been completely out of sync in terms of coverage.
Whether they start Trevor Lawrence or Mac Jones, Maye’s first-round quarterback, the Jaguars will lose a high-scoring game that could be Doug Pederson’s final game.

Looking at the totals, no team has a flawless Over/Under record. The Los Angeles Chargers began the season 0-4 O/U, but they cashed an Over ticket last week with a 23-16 victory over Denver on an O/U line of 37.
Week 7 Game Highlights:
The New York Giants are now the best Under club with a 5-1 record, while the Chargers, Dolphins, and Vikings are all 4-1.
Four clubs are 5-1 for the Over. They are the Baltimore Ravens, Carolina Panthers, Seattle Seahawks, and Commanders.
The Bears and Dallas Cowboys are the only teams with byes this week.
For NFL Week 7, predictions are based on the moneyline (ML), against the spread (ATS), and over/under (O/U) for each game. Analysts offer predictions on matchups, such as underdog teams covering the spread and games with more scoring potential for over/under bets.
The Seahawks are in peril at 3-3 as their schedule remains unfavorable. The run defense continues to struggle, putting significant pressure on Geno Smith in trail mode while allowing a large amount of throwing. The Falcons will run well and create downfield opportunities for Kirk Cousins as they win again to gain control of the NFC South.

The Bengals aren’t far from regaining wild-card status, and they won’t take their struggling cross-state rivals lightly in the Battle of Ohio. Joe Burrow can exploit a shaky downfield pass defense, but Deshaun Watson will encounter too much pressure from Cincinnati’s improved pass rush.
Key factors to consider are team performance, injuries, and home/away advantages. For more thorough breakdowns and expert advise on NFL Week 7, check out resources from major sports betting analysts and platforms.
