Almost halfway through the NFL season. The weather is getting cold, the holiday commercials are cranking up. That Thanksgiving meal is starting to creep into the back of our minds. Let’s dive into week 7 NFL picks from The Red Beard.
This week I have an average slate for you, eight games are in the scope.
The Red Beard: NFL Picks Week 7
New Orleans Saints vs Arizona Cardinals Over 44
Even though the Cardinals might be the worse team in the league offensively speaking, I see them putting up 17-24 points tonight against the New Orleans Saints. The Cardinals have revamped their receiving core via trades and superstar Hopkins returning from suspension.
I also see the Cardinals losing this game outright, which means the Saints should get close to 30 points on their end. Making the Over here the play for me, I also am eyeing the Saints Moneyline at plus money.
Yet, just give me the Over 44, Saints win 33-20. Who Dat!
Atlanta Falcons vs Cincinnati Bengals Over 47.5
The Falcons are 6-0 this season, ATS that is. Which means they have been very competitive on both sides of the ball. With one or two plays going their way, they might be 5-1 and considered one of the best teams so far this season.
The Bengals on the other side are just getting into their groove on the season. Finding their feet after coming down from the high of the Super Bowl run last season.
The over feels like the safe play to me, I see this game turning into a shootout going into the fourth quarter needing one more score to cover. Give me the Bengals winning 31-27.
Cleveland Browns vs Baltimore Ravens Over 45.5
Both of these teams have two things in common as much as they and their fans wish they didn’t. Both teams struggle on defense getting stops, and both teams are above average scoring points.
I think the Ravens have the upper hand in this game, however, I would not be surprised to see Cleveland pull out the upset.
Either way, this game will be exciting and high scoring according to my number. Give me the Ravens winning 38-34.
New York Giants +3 vs Jacksonville Jaguars
New York Giants are the most underrated team this season in my eyes. Every week they are dogs on the number and have played to a 5-1 record outright.
Jacksonville Jaguars on the other hand are one of the most overrated teams in the league. I have been hearing about them winning the division all preseason and early in this season. To everybody saying that I have one thing to say back, Laugh Out Loud!
Give me the Giants moving to 6-1, give me the. points, Giants win 24-10.
Kansas City Chiefs -2.5 vs San Francisco 49ers
The Chiefs will go into San Francisco as the road favorites against the 49ers. I see a motivated Chiefs team dominating this game.
The 49ers have been inconsistent, to say the least, looking like the best or worse team in the league depending on what week’s tape you choose to look at.
Give me the Chiefs jumping out early and holding a lead throughout. The Chiefs win and cover, 27-16.
Seattle Seahawks +6 vs Los Angeles Chargers
The Seahawks have been an exciting team to watch in this post-Russell Wilson era. Geno Smith has been a feel-good story to this point in the season.
The Chargers due to injury have not been able to reach their full potential yet this season, struggling to get any momentum.
Give me a close game coming down to a field goal, with the Seahawks covering the number. Chargers win 26-24.
Pittsburgh Steelers +7 vs Miami Dolphins
The Steelers getting a full touchdown against anybody in this league is an automatic bet for me, especially to Dolphins.
Steelers have a defense that turns any offense into a jv squad compared to what they usually do. This weekend will be no different, look for the steelers to win outright.
I will take them to cover the number as one of the easiest picks of the weekend. Steelers win 23-20.
New England Patriots -8 vs Chicago Bears
This game speaks for itself, the Patriots are back regardless of what you may think. The bears on the other hand are even worse than the Cardinals offensively. I do not see the bears surpassing 10 points in the game.
An old fashion blowout will take place on Monday Night Football.
Give me the Patriots winning 38-9.
