The Week 7 NFL slate is full of exciting games. Here are my favorite bets for these games at DraftKings Sportsbook.
NFL Week 7 Best Bets
Bengals/Jaguars Moneyline Parlay (+100)
The Bengals take on the Browns on Sunday and they will look to build on their season-saving win over the Giants. The Browns’ offense is completely lost, ranking 31st in the NFL in EPA/play. Just like the Giants last week, they won’t be able to take advantage of the Bengals’ defensive issues.
The Jaguars have a massive advantage playing their second straight London game against the Patriots. The Patriots have to travel to London and start a rookie quarterback making his second career start. Meanwhile, the Jaguars have already been in London for over a week and they are the most experienced team in the league playing in London. In this same spot last year, they beat the Bills outright as big underdogs.
Packers -3 vs. Texans
The Packers have been the best ATS team at home since Matt LaFleur took over. The Packers are 30-17 (63.8%) ATS at Lambeau Field since 2019. C.J. Stroud has also struggled on the road in his career. He has a SU record of 9-2 when playing in Houston but is just 5-5 playing away from home.
Since Jordan Love returned, the Packers’ offense has been firing on all cylinders. They are going to be able to put up a big number at home and force the Texans to keep up. Houston is off to a great 5-1 start but its offense is only 16th in the NFL in EPA/play. The Texans won’t have enough offense without Nico Collins to keep up with Love.
Seahawks +3 vs. Falcons
The Falcons have played close games all season and this should be another tight one. The Seahawks have been on a bit of a skid but they have extended rest after playing on Thursday Night Football. That extra time will be essential for Seattle to find some of the offensive rhythm it had earlier in the season.
The Seattle secondary has also struggled but it has faced a tough slate of offenses this season. The Seahawks have a great defensive coaching staff and should improve as the season goes on, especially after the extra time to prepare for this game. Seattle needs to get back on track and should find a way to win this one.
49ers ML (-125) vs. Chiefs
The Chiefs are 5-0 but the 49ers are playing better football at the moment and they are also at home. It’s always scary to bet against Patrick Mahomes when he only needs to win the game, but the Chiefs are frankly not playing well enough to remain undefeated.
The 49ers’ offense is seventh in EPA/play and fifth in EPA/dropback. The Chiefs’ defense is 15th in EPA/dropback. Brock Purdy should be able to hit all of his weapons and move the ball through the air against the Chiefs. The 49ers have a chance to avenge their Super Bowl loss at their home stadium and should be able to do so.
6-Point Teaser: Dolphins +9/Rams -1 (-120)
The Dolphins have had a brutal season so far but they had a bye week to work on how they want their offense to look under Tyler Huntley. They managed to squeak out a win over the Patriots just before the bye so they should have had a confident two weeks of practice. Anthony Richardson is a downgrade from Joe Flacco at QB, so the Dolphins should be able to contain the Colts’ offense and keep this game close.
The Rams have had a tough season with all of their offensive injuries but this is an ideal get-right spot against the Raiders. The Rams are 1-4 but three of their losses have come by six points or less. They are not far off from picking up a win and the struggling Raiders are the perfect target. Aidan O’Connell is not a good quarterback and the Raiders’ offense is likely to be without Jakobi Meyers again, in addition to Davante Adams, who was traded this week. The Rams should get a win on the board in this game.
