Week 7 contest lines are listed above. The big favorites this week include the Chargers in London facing the Titans laying 6.5. The Colts laying 7.5 at home vs the Bills and the Rams as 9.5 point favorites on the road against the 49ers.

Last week I put up another 3-2 record winning with my Denver, Washington, and Miami picks and losing on the Colts and Patriots who failed to cover by only a .5 point. I have a 14-15-1 record on the season. Let's see if I can pick better this week.

The games I like this week are the Bears +3, the Vikings -3, the Ravens -2.5, the Jaguars -5, and the Bengals +6. The Bears get the Patriots this week and I think that team will be going all in as far as effort goes to beat this Patriots squad. The Patriots have uncharacteristically struggled on the road this year and I think that trend continues here as they have major problems on defense and Chicago will be more than able to exploit that weakness. I look for them to control the ball via the ground game and put up points. I also expect them to win this game outright. The Vikings travel to East Rutherford to take on the Jets. The Jets had the benefit of a ton of turnovers last week that I don't expect them to get that this week and Minnesota was already upset at home by a team they should have beaten and I don't expect that to happen again. I think the Vikings blow out the Jets in this spot so I'll take them laying only a field goal. The Ravens are at home facing a red hot Saints team that is a off a bye week after a huge MNF win. The Saints get a rematch with the team that beat them in last years playoffs next week and I think they're looking ahead to that matchup and will overlook this Ravens team. The Ravens are really good at home and have the best defense in the league. Granted they haven't faced a team like the Saints but I think the Ravens do enough to win this game. The Jaguars return home after 2 disastrous road outings getting blown out both times. That should have the team ultra focused on beating this Texans team. I think they're able to do it and will win by more than a TD. Last game I'm taking the Bengals on the road against the Chiefs. The Chiefs are off a super emotional game last week where they barely lost after performing great in the 2nd half. I doubt they will be able to carry the same emotion into this game and this spread is just a little too high for their opponent. They should be favored by 3-4 points, not 6. This game is ripe for a backdoor cover scenario and I expect the Bengals offense will be able to take advantage if they have the chance. I also think the Bengals have an outside shot at an outright win as well.

Those are my picks for this week. Let's see how they turn out.
