Week 7 of the 2018 regular season will bring us ever closer to the midway point of the season, which means we should have a good idea of who the main challengers are going to be this season. Sure, we already have a good idea of who might be a Super Bowl contender, but expectations can go out the window as soon as the action begins. Let’s look at the schedule for NFL Week 7 and make some straight up betting predictions as we go.
2018 NFL Week 7 Early Betting Picks for Every Game
Denver Broncos at Arizona Cardinals
The Thursday night game is certainly not the most glamorous, especially since these two may be on the outside looking in at the playoffs. I am inclined to go with the Broncos in a close one.Tennessee Titans at LA Chargers
This is a little different in that these two have a real shot at being in the postseason. LA will be hoping to get off to a better start than usual so that they are not in must-win territory early on. Another close one, but I have the Chargers winning.Cincinnati Bengals at Kansas City Chiefs
It was a surprise to see Marvin Lewis return as the coach of the Bengals, a decision he may yet regret. Cincinnati is not going to be very good this year and is onto a beating here.Cleveland Browns at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
With only 1 win in the last 2 seasons, the only way is up for the Browns. This is a game they might well compete in, but I still think they come up a little short.Carolina Panthers at Philadelphia Eagles
Two of the potential power houses in the NFC go head to head here in what should be a very entertaining game. I think we have a lot of close ones on tap this week, with the Eagles just edging this one.Minnesota Vikings at New York Jets
Not really much to write about here, as this looks like one of the more obvious picks of the week. A blowout win for the Vikings.Detroit Lions at Miami Dolphins
A bit of a coin flip here, as this is one that really could go either way. If Stafford gets hot, the Lions win, but I have a feeling that the Dolphins are going to edge this one at home.New England Patriots at Chicago Bears
Another one that looks to be a straightforward pick, as it’s tough to imagine the Patriots losing here.Buffalo Bills at Indianapolis Colts
Even if you are a huge fan of another team, the hope will almost certainly be that Andrew Luck stays healthy this year. If he does, I think the Colts should come out on top in this one.Houston Texans at Jacksonville Jaguars
A huge game for both teams, as both are expected to be contending for a playoff spot in the AFC. A close one her, but I am on the Jags at home.
