NFL WEEK 7 – Predictions (Projected odds makers @ Oct.22.2020 – 12:00PM EST) 
 

Thursday Oct.22
 
NY Giants @ Philadelphia -4.5
The New York Giants secured their first win of the season verse the Washington Football team and now get another monster of a contest against the Eagles. With the NFC East a complete crapshoot, leaving everyone viable to win the division – this is a great opportunity for the Giants to steal a game. Their defense has been much improved this season, which should give the Eagles a tougher time.
 
When it comes to those Eagles, no team in the league has dealt with more injures while trying to be competitive in each contest. Carson Wentz has done his best with limited support, but they have found something in Travis Fulgham in the past few weeks. This game could go either way and we won’t be shocked to see either team come out on top. We’ll error on the side of caution.

Sunday Oct.25
 
Detroit @ Atlanta -2.5
The enigma that is the Atlanta Falcons continues to be a problem for the betting public. Looking much more put together last week under interim head coach Raheem Morris, we again find ourselves struggling to support their cause. However, with change comes progress and perhaps we again see this Falcons team play the way we had envisioned early on.
 
The Detroit Lions on the other hand came off their bye week and showed much more dedication to the ground attack. Perhaps this is a new look we should expect as the talent in rookie D’Andre Swift is oozing out in bunches. If the Lions can finally put it all together in both the run and pass games – we could finally see them fly as well. Tough to bet against the Falcons at home, but we could see an upset here.
ADF: ATL doesn’t cover the spread @ -2.5 DET 23 ATL 22 (W)
@SoJash: ATL covers the spread @ -2.5 DET 23 ATL 22 (L)
 

Cleveland -3 @ Cincinnati
The Cleveland Browns again played the Jekyll & Hyde role to perfection, leaving a lot on the field of play. Baker Mayfield looked uneven last week, which begged to believe his injured ribs played a major role. The last time these teams played the Browns ended up winning by five off the strength of the ground attack. Still without Nick Chubb in the lineup and injuries piling up – this could be a difficult task.
 
The Bengals on the other hand have improved virtually every week and gave the Colts a run for their money in week six. Young teams need to learn how to win and Joe Burrow is looking everything the part of being a franchise passer. It’s hard to believe the Bengals won’t come out in this one geared up and ready to go. Should be a very close contest.
ADF: CLE doesn’t cover the spread @ -3 CLE 37 CIN 34 (L)

Pittsburgh @ Tennessee -1
When all is said and done, this could be seen as the game of the week with the Steelers and the Titans riding high. Pittsburgh looks very impressive and decisive in their first five victories as the offense is loaded with talent. Following suit, the defense is equally as strong but have shown to have moments of collapse in giving up yardage in bunches. This will be the toughest test they’ve had to date.
 
When it comes to evaluating the Titans and what they have put together, the offense is the envy of the entire league. Rolling behind the prowess of Derrick Henry and his tank like running, Ryan Tannehill has found new levels to his game. The Steelers have been known to give up rushing yards and big plays in the pass, which could be exploited in this one. We can’t shy away from Tennessee in this one as they r a league force.  
ADF: TEN covers the spread @ -1 PIT 27 TEN 24 (L)
@SoJash: TEN doesn’t cover the spread @ -1 PIT 27 TEN 24 (W)


Carolina @ New Orleans -7.5
The New Orleans Saints are coming off the bye week and looking to improve on their uneven play so far this season. The issue for this offense has been the absence of Michael Thomas and it appears a hamstring injury may preclude him from suiting up in this one as well. If Thomas can’t go, the offense will continue to lean on Alvin Kamara who is playing fabulous football.
 
The Panthers come into this one with a chip on their shoulder, as they were stifled by the Falcons last week. Having yet another division rival matchup – this game is massive for the playoff hopes of Teddy Bridgewater and company. For how well the Panthers have played and being something of a revenge game for Bridgewater, the added fire should bring with it, his A-game. However, Coach Sean Payton knows Bridgewater very well from coaching him last season and should scheme properly to give him fits. We’ll gamble here.

Buffalo -13 @ NY Jets
The Buffalo Bills went from league darling to being in the doghouse after two lackluster performances verse two top NFL clubs. Not being able to stop the run whatsoever, this contest is fabulous for the Bills defense as Frank Gore is the primary back to stop. This should act as a tune up correction contest for the Bills as they iron out their inadequacy from the past two games. Josh Allen will provide and the defense should shut down.
 
As for the Jets, the season has already been written, as Coach Adam Gase continues to display his inability to move an offense. Sam Darnold was spotted back at practice and is gearing up to play in this one off that AC-Joint sprain. Even with Darnold potentially throwing the ball, the Bills need a pinpoint showing of improvement and we believe Coach Sean McDermott will have his troops ready.
ADF: BUF covers the spread @ -13 BUF 18 NYJ 10 (L)
@SoJash: BUF covers the spread @ -13 BUF 18 NYJ 10 (L)
  
 
Dallas -1 @ Washington
The Dallas Cowboys clearly were a shell of themselves offensively last week as the loss of Dak Prescott was felt in a very big way. Andy Dalton and the offense looked unprepared and unwilling to create anything tangible. Reports have come out suggesting the coaching staff isn’t teaching the systems properly which is aiding in the terrible play. The Cowboys defense is a league worst in nearly every category, which is a giant problem.
 
Facing the Washington Football Team and their stout front seven, we have some level of optimism that they will be able to compete. The offense with Kyle Allen wasn’t terrible last week but will need to demonstrate a lot more. Terry McLaurin is truly a league superstar and has proven to be virtually bust proof going up against top coverage, and catching passes from lesser quarterbacks. Even though we feel a better week from Dallas is on the horizon – we believe Washington will play hard. Upset time!

Green Bay -3.5 @ Houston
The Green Bay Packers had their dinner cooked and eaten right in front of their eyes last week as two interceptions completely derailed the outlook. Not having seen this club hit much adversary so far this season – watching them fold like a cheap suit is something of a concern. However, Green Bay will surly have a great week of practice to rebound in the biggest of ways.
 
The Houston Texans played their hearts out verse the Titans last week in a contest that was decided by overtime. The defense continues to struggle at the best of times leaving Deshaun Watson to bring them all back. Houston is pretending at this point, as all pieces just aren’t gelling. Houston will try their best to keep up and should find traction in the explosive play department – but in our mind, an angry Aaron Rodgers is tough to bet against!
ADF: GB covers the spread @ -3.5 GB 35 HOU 20 (W)
@SoJash: GB covers the spread @ -3.5 GB 35 HOU 20 (W)
 

Kansas City -9.5 @ Denver
The Kansas City Chiefs run the ball down the Bills throats on Monday Night and will attempt to do much of the same in this one. Patrick Mahomes had an easier day in rainy Buffalo but should get back to passing the ball with high regularity in this one. The addition of LeVeon Bell should be an interesting sight as he should be ready to take the field for the first time since signing with the club.
 
Even as we witnessed the Broncos play very sound football last week in New England, (which should be the anomaly), the Chiefs will bring a very different level of competition. Drew Lock looked poised in moving the offense last week, but settled for field goals over touchdowns, which will ruin their chance to win this match on Sunday. Playing in Denver does give us some level of pause – but we won’t be fools in betting against the Chiefs this week.
ADF: KC covers the spread @ -9.5 KC 43 DEN 16 (W)
@SoJash: KC doesn’t cover the spread @ -9.5 KC 43 DEN 16 (L)
   

San Francisco @ New England -2
For the first time since being traded to the 49ers, Jimmy Garoppolo goes back to New England where it all started to face off against his former club. San Francisco looked very good last week against the Rams after falling on their face the week prior to the Dolphins. With virtually everyone back in the mix on offense – Deebo Samuel was a force on the field. We fully expect Garoppolo to be fired up for this one leaving no stone unturned.
 
When we look back at what occurred last week in New England, coming off the Covid outbreak rest did this club no service. Looking sloppy and inefficient, a harder week of practice should occur to have them ready to roll in a very important contest. Cam Newton needs to play much better and the supporting cast truly needs to find open space. With a defense looking worse for wear – we are shocked the 49ers are the underdog. This isn’t your Dad’s Patriots anymore and Jimmy gets his revenge.
ADF: NE doesn’t cover the spread @ -2 SF 33 NE 6 (W)
@SoJash: NE covers the spread @ -2 SF 33 NE 6 (L)


Jacksonville @ LA Chargers -8
The L.A Chargers were forced into a bye last week due to the shuffling of schedules because of Covid outbreaks. Coming back rested and likely more prepared – rookie Justin Herbert has been a revelation. As mentioned before, our affinity for this passer had no bounds coming into the offseason, as he was our clear-cut choice to lead this Chargers offense. Now with an extra prep week and facing the lowly Jaguars at home – get ready to witness fireworks as if it were the 4^th of July.
 
At this point, we can’t speak many positives for the Jags as their season is all but on cruise control to finish as a top five pick in the upcoming draft. Gardner Minshew will continue his efforts to keep this team competitive – but unfortunately, there aren’t enough horses in the stable to gallop free. Easy pickings for this one.
ADF: LAC covers the spread @ -8 JAX 29 LAC 39 (W)

Tampa Bay -4 @ Las Vegas
For Sunday Night Football, this might be a very nice matchup with Tom Brady going to Las Vegas for the first time in his career. Displacing the Packers last week with the help of their defense, Brady moved the offense, as they appeared to have much more balance overall. Tampa used Ronald Jones in much better fashion, which set up the play action to Rob Gronkowski. We could see much of the same this week but with different members feasting.
 
The Raiders on the other hand are coming off the bye week but have a Covid scare we all need to be aware of. The entire offensive line was sent home to isolate in hopes no outbreak comes. This could be a major issue for Vegas as the Buccaneers defense is starting to pick up steam. While we would like to believe they would compete – Tampa should be too strong.
ADF: TB covers the spread @ -4 TB 45 LV 20 (W)
@SoJash: TB covers the spread @ -4 TB 45 LV 20 (W)

Seattle -3.5 @ Arizona
Before heading into the bye, the Seahawks were playing like a league powerhouse and look to get back on the same footing against the Cardinals in a division showdown. Russell Wilson is playing at MVP levels and will have this offense moving once again. Where the Hawks stumble is in the defensive end and will have their hands full with super youngster Kyler Murray.
 
Speaking of those Cardinals, they have truly impressed this season, but we aren’t over shocked, as we are giant supporters of Coach Kliff Kingsbury. The way in which this offense adjusts on the fly, it will be paramount in the success they could generate this week. Kyler Murray verse Russell Wilson will be a fantastic show and we for one believe a field goal will decide it even though we lean to Seattle winning this contest.

Monday Oct.26

Chicago @ LA Rams -6
Finishing off the week on Monday Night, the Rams get the Bears after licking their wounds from last week’s beat down. Like others in the league, the Rams have become a tough bet each week, as the offense looks far less explosive than in years past. Trying to setup the pass with the run, there are many negatives that occur when Jared Goff is having an off day. With Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods not playing the way we grown to appreciate – the task get tougher verse a stout Bears secondary.
 
It really is a difficult evaluation when we discuss the Bears and their 5-1 record. On the onset, they appear to be wolves, but could be sheep wearing wolf clothing? Nick Foles has moved this offense with better frequency and will need to be on point against Aaron Donald and company. Nevertheless, this spread appears to be full bait to get Vegas the upper hand in taking your money. We’ll be cautious on this one.
