Daniel Collins’ Week 7 NFL Pick
Chuba Hubbard o69.5 Rush Yards (-115) Available at BetOnline
Let’s get this week rolling with one of my favorite backs to bet on this season, Carolina Panthers RB1, Chuba Hubbard.
Hubbard has asserted himself in the Panthers backfield this season, taking full advantage of the additional work load. Hubbard is averaging 80.8 yards per game on the ground this season and has been COOKING the last 4 weeks.
- Week 3 vs Las Vegas Raiders- 21 carries, 114 yards
- Week 4 vs Cincinnati Bengals- 18 carries, 104 yards
- Week 5 vs Chicago Bears- 13 carries, 97 yards
- Week 6 vs Atlanta Falcons- 18 carries, 92 yards
As you can see, Hubbard has been awesome for Carolina the past month and that should continue on Sunday against a subpar Commanders rushing defense.
Washington is bottom 10 in the NFL in Rush defense, allowing 137/game on the ground and even worse to running backs especially. The Commanders are 28th in the league, allowing 120.5 yards/game on the ground to backs.
This is a no brainer at this line and is a great ladder spot. I will be taking Hubbard for 90+ yards for +190 as well at MyBookie.
Nate Hornung’s NFL Week 7 Pick
Chiefs ML (+102) Available at BetOnline
It’s the Chiefs as an underdog, do I have to elaborate?
Mahomes has been a betting underdog 13 times in his shorts career. He is 11-1-1 ATS and 10-3 Straight Up in those contests. Now of course, the 49ers are hungry to enact their revenge against Kansas City, but Andy Reid and company are coming off a bye week. As the Head Coach of the Chiefs, Reid is 8-3 off a bye week and 5-1 with Mahomes as his QB.
I can see an argument for the 49ers in this spot, they obviously need to win this game. But you don’t get to bet on Mahomes with a plus sign very often, and when you do, you cash 76.9% of the time. That’s enough for me to understand that KC is the right side in this game.
Homerisms aside, give me the Chiefs to get the job done, and if you need a plus money player prop as well, check out my full game breakdown.
Colby Marchio’s NFL Week 7 Pick
Seahawks (+3) Available at BetOnline
First off, just fade me; I feel cursed. Sigh…
Now, back to the analysis.
The Seahawks have been struggling lately, going 0-3 both straight up and against the spread. During this stretch, they faced tough opponents: the Lions in Detroit and the Giants at home, while looking ahead to their Thursday night matchup against the 49ers. Their last win, a dominant 24-3 performance against the Dolphins, feels like ages ago. However, Week 7 brings a fresh start, especially after their mini-bye following the Thursday night game in Week 6.
On the other hand, the Falcons are on a three-game winning streak, but they’ve faced some of the league’s more mediocre teams, defeating the Saints, Buccaneers, and Panthers. While Tampa Bay isn’t a bad team, the Saints and Panthers have struggled this season. The Saints are far from their early-season form, and the Panthers are having a rough year.
With the Seahawks needing a win to regain momentum in the NFC West, this is a prime opportunity to catch the Falcons off guard after their unimpressive victories in recent weeks. I love the current number; if you’re considering waiting to see if it moves to 3.5, that’s a solid strategy. I anticipate this game will remain close throughout.
Varun Sharma’s NFL Week 7 Pick
Dionte Johnson Anytime Touchdown (+140) Available at BetOnline
Over the last 2/3 seasons, poor quarterback play has been the reason we’ve seen such a big drop in Dionte’s numbers. Dionte Johnson can still ball, no question about it.
Through his first 3 seasons in the league, Dionte averaged 60 receiving yards per game, 5.4 receptions per game and he recorded 20 touchdowns across 47 games. In his last 3 seasons, Johnsons averaging just 4.6 receptions per game, 53 yards and he’s scored just 8 touchdowns in 36 games.
This year it looked to be more of the same, he caught just 5 of his 12 targets, recording just 34 yards in the first two weeks with Bryce Young under center. Since Andy Dalton took over, Johnsons seeing 9.8 targets per game, averaging 5.2 receptions per game and 65 receiving yards.
Johnson’s also recorded a touchdown in 3 of the 5 games together, and he’s coming off a game in which he caught 6 passes for 72 yards and a touchdown. He sits 2nd among wide receivers this year in red zone targets, and 8 of those 11 targets have come with Dalton under center.
Their connection’s undeniable and this week they’re matched up with a bad Commanders’ secondary. Washington’s tied for last in touchdowns given up to opposing wide receivers, 10 of the 12 passing touchdowns they’ve allowed have been to wideouts.
This year they’ve given up touchdown to Ja’Marr Chase (2), Mike Evans (2), Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, and so many more; WR1s have continued to have their way with this Commanders’ defense.
Brad Blakemore’s NFL Week 7 Pick
Jameson Williams o47.5 Receiving Yards (-113) Available at BetOnline
The Detroit Lions receiver has arrived. And while you may be crying as an Amon-Ra St. Brown fantasy owner, you can get over your tears by cashing out on Jameson Williams. Through five games Williams has crushed this line four times.
- Week 1 vs LAR: 121 receiving yards and a touchdown
- Week 2 vs TB: 79 receiving yards
- Week 3 vs AZ: Miss
- Week 4 vs SEA: 80 receiving yards and a touchdown
- Week 5 vs DAL: 76 receiving yards and a touchdown
So why is this line so low? I factor this into the fact that Detroit has SO many receiving weapons and recency bias. Williams has struggled with injury and suspension his past two seasons. But now the stud receiver is breaking out with his big play ability. He has three longest receptions that are above his 47.5 receiving line.
The Minnesota Vikings have been one of the most surprising teams this season. But their games tend to lead to shootouts. They rank 30th in passing yards against and 32nd in passing attempts, making this a great match.
I’m riding with Jamo this week and my dynasty team with him has never looked better.
