Feel free to keep track of your predictions and see if you can beat the author.
Straight-up Record: 66-24-1
ATS Record: 51-38-2
Week 7 Byes: Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, Baltimore Ravens
Thursday Night Football:
New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles (-4.5)
Carson Wentz and the Eagles will take the division lead heading into the weekend.
Sunday Games:
Detroit Lions at Atlanta Falcons (-2.5)
Falcons 27, Lions 24
Gardner Minshew may not be able to solve man coverage, but Matt Ryan should be able to. Expect Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley to be fantasy monsters in a high-scoring game.
Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals (+3)
Browns 28, Bengals 21
The Browns may not be on the level of the Ravens and Steelers, but they will complete the sweep of the Bengals.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Tennessee Titans (-1)
Steelers 23, Titans 20 F/OT
In the best game of the week, the Steelers and Titans will battle for the AFC’s top seed.
Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints (-7.5)
Saints 31, Panthers 24
Michael Thomas should be back just in time for the Saints to win their fourth game. Carolina might end up with a back-door cover.
Buffalo Bills at New York Jets (+12.5)
Bills 35, Jets 10
If your team is struggling, what is the best solution? A trip to MetLife Stadium.
Dallas Cowboys at Washington Football Team (+1)
Cowboys 24, Football Team 13
This will be the ugliest game of the weekend, but the Cowboys should make enough plays to move closer to .500.
Green Bay Packers at Houston Texans (+3.5)
Packers 34, Texans 28
Aaron Rodgers and Deshaun Watson will have an electric clash, but Green Bay will bounce back from their flat performance against the Buccaneers.
Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals (+3.5)
Seahawks 31, Cardinals 28
Russell Wilson will pull out a victory with a last-second drive, but the Cardinals will sneakily cover.
Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos (+9.5)
Chiefs 34, Broncos 17
Patrick Mahomes will throw four touchdowns and launch himself into the MVP conversation.
San Francisco 49ers at New England Patriots (-2)
49ers 24, Patriots 20
Much to the chagrin of those who wanted to retain Jimmy Garoppolo over Tom Brady in 2017, Garoppolo and the 49ers will upset the Patriots.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Los Angeles Chargers (-8)
Chargers 34, Jaguars 27
Justin Herbert will get his first NFL win, but Jacksonville could keep it close as Los Angeles tries to blow a lead.
Sunday Night Football:
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Las Vegas Raiders (+3.5)
Buccaneers 26, Raiders 20
The Jon Gruden Bowl will be an entertaining game, but Tampa Bay will win to move to 5-2.
Monday Night Football:
Chicago Bears at Los Angeles Rams (-6)
Bears 21, Rams 17
Nick Foles will make one necessary play as the Bears hold the Rams to fewer than 20 points.
