Daniel Collins (SPJ) NFL Week 7 Best Bet (3-3)
Ja'Marr Chase should feast against the Ravens
Ja'Marr Chase o79.5 Receiving Yards (-120)
Chase has been a bit pedestrian to his high standards to start the season but in this divisional matchup, Ja'Marr should feast.
In his career, WR1 has 10 matchups with Baltimore and has absolutely torched them for 75 catches, 1,204 yards and 8 receiving touchdowns.
He also has 100+ receiving yards in the last 4 games against the Purple and Black.
Be great, #1.
Chef T NFL Week 7 Best Bet (3-3)
Jaylen Warren o25.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
Jaylen Warren has cleared 25.5 receiving yards in all six games this season, averaging 43 yards on five targets per game. New Orleans has struggled against running backs, allowing over 30 receiving yards per game to the position.
With Warren playing roughly 75% of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps and Rico Dowdle dealing with a knee injury, I love this spot for Warren to stay perfect against this number.
Nate Hornung NFL Week 7 Best Bet (1-3)
Chiefs ML (+126)
You don't get Mahomes as a dog very often.
Take it and say thank you.
Varun Sharma NFL Week 7 Best Bet (1-5)
Garrett Wilson has been Geno Smith's favorite target this season
Garrett Wilson o62.5 Receiving Yards (-112)
Wilson's averaging 5.8 receptions per game, he's got 418 total receiving yards and 3 touchdowns. He's seeing a 28% target share this year, 35% 1st read target share and averaging 2.3 yards per route run (YPRR).
Wilson's average depth of target is 10.6 yards and he's accounted for 31% of his team's receiving yards share.
The Dolphins blitz at a top-3 rate in the NFL this year, but generate a bottom-5 pressure rate.
Geno Smith's been fantastic from a clean pocket this year and he's handled the blitz incredibly well. Against the blitz, Geno's completing 67% of his passes, averaging 8.78 yards per attempt with 4 touchdowns, 1 interception and a passer rating of 111.4.
From a clean pocket, he's completing 71% of his passes, averaging 7.25 yards per attempt and he's got 5 touchdowns with no interceptions. Wilson's been Geno's favorite receiver this year, averaging 3.5 yards per route run against the blitz and 0.35 targets per route run against the blitz.
Brad Blakemore NFL Week 7 Best Bet (2-4)
Joe Burrow o259.5 Passing Yards (-110)
Burrow is rested and ready to cook. He has "murdered" the Ravens in the past, ramping up an average of 325 passing yards in his last four matches vs Baltimore.
The Ravens secondary has been torched this season, and Burrow will be ready to go BTA on his division rival, or I will eat crow.
Tristan Vieira NFL Week 7 Best Bet (5-1)
Can Gibbs have a big day against the Packers?
Lions -3.5 (-103)
Packers roll into this divisional match up red hot after massive performances from Jordan Love & Mathew Golden. They have all the momentum including getting star RB Josh Jacobs back, but the Lions are coming into this game rested off a bye week and the comfort of a home game.
In a big divisional match up, I expect the Lions to keep the ball on the ground. If they win the time of possession battle, they cover this spread easily. Let's keep rolling with the lions at home!
Sukh Brar NFL Week 7 Best Bet (1-5)
LV Raiders +3.5 (-119)
I could do a write up but you see my record, right? I'd put a basketball play in here if they'd let me.
Raiders are 5-1-0 ATS on the year and they're getting the cushion of a field goal at home.
We need this one.
K.I.S.S
Justin Carlucci NFL Week 7 Best Bet (3-3)
Matthew Golden Most Receiving Yards vs. Detroit (+290)
I think there's real value in Matthew Golden to lead this game in receiving yards.
Golden has 501 receiving yards this season compared with Christian Watson's 538, but look underneath those totals. Golden owns a 24.3% target share, ahead of Watson's 19.9%, and a massive 40% air-yards share.
In fact, his 781 air yards lead the NFL. This should be a shootout, and we just need a bomb from Golden to be in a very competitive position.
PJ Glasser NFL Week 7 Best Bet (3-3)
Joe Burrow and the Bengals off of a BYE
Bengals ML (-102)
Whether or not Lamar plays, I think Bengals win. Ravens haven't been a good team at home and Bengals are coming off a bye. Bet Chase overs as well. He loves playing Baltimore.
Tone's Takes NFL Week 7 Best Bet (2-4)
Tucker Kraft over 49.5 Receiving yards (-114)
It's National tight ends day and the GB TE gets a fantastic Matchup. He faces a Detroit team that is allowing 109 yards/game to TEs, which is the most in the NFL, by far.
Kraft has had a tough time getting going but this is a perfect breakout spot for him.
Betting the Pitch NFL Week 7 Best Bet (3-3)
Chiefs +3 (-115)
Mahomes getting points? Every single time, I'm taking them.
Yes, it's on the road in one of the most hostile environments in the NFL, but what's the best recipe for winning in that situation? Run the football. Walker facing his former team with a little revenge game narrative? Yes, please.
Sam Darnold just hasn't looked right this season, and the Seahawks can't establish a running game. Good luck going up against Spags' defense when you can't run the rock. I expect him to have Darnold seeing ghosts on Sunday night.
BetAlytics NFL Week 7 Best Bet (2-4)
Giants +10.5 (-114)
Our model projects HOU 27, NYG 20, a 7-point game, so the spread is 3.5 points wider than the projection. That's a 63.4% cover chance against about 53% implied by the price, and Betalytics grades it an A.
Recent play backs the number: NYG has lost by more than 10 only once in six games (the 28-6 loss at the Rams), and the Giants have scored 27 in each of their last three. HOU is 2-4 and has won by double digits just once, a 26-3 win at Tennessee.
On scheme, HOU is a pass-first team (285.7 passing yards a game vs 84.8 rushing) and NYG leans more on the ground (104.8 rushing yards a game), which keeps the clock moving and the margin tighter.
The risk is NYG pass protection: they've allowed 18 sacks and HOU's defense has 18 of its own, so a few drive killers could blow the game open.
Brandon Pham NFL Week 7 Best Bet (4-2)
Ja'Marr Chase o80.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
For his standards Chase has had a relatively quiet year so far so what better way to get your season going than coming off a BYE against a divisional opponent?
Chase usually has some great games against the Ravens and with their less than stellar pass defense that ranks 27th against the WR, I love this spot for Ja'Marr Chase.
Alex Bohling NFL Week 7 Best Bet (4-2)
Bo Nix looks to get back on track
Denver Broncos -4.5 (-108)
Fun fact, when the Broncos win, they cover the spread, 100% of the time this year.
Many are quick to write off this Broncos squad even though they are 4-2, only having lost to the Chiefs and 49ers who are both undefeated and Super Bowl contenders. They have already beaten the preseason Super Bowl favorites (Rams), and the former Super Bowl champions (Seahawks).
The Cardinals' defense isn't good enough to stop the Broncos' offense, and Denver's defense is more than capable of keeping the Cardinals at bay.
Jackson McNeese NFL Week 7 Best Bet (1-5)
Packers +3 (+100)
Divisional game. Two electric offenses. Both have massive question marks on defense. The game will come down to who can score more and in my opinion will come down to whoever has the ball last.
I'll take my Packers bias and scoop up the points and see you at the bank!
