NFL odds Week 7: Finest bets for Bears-Patriots, extra

By Sam Panayotovich

No person is extra upset a few 1-4 weekend than me.

Our greatest bets (18-12 YTD) are nonetheless within the inexperienced, and I’m rolling with 4 performs over the following few days. This house isn’t the place for 1,000,000 picks or five-team parlays, both. These are the video games I really like essentially the most.

Let’s go to work with odds courtesy of FOX Guess.

Minnesota at No. 16 Penn State (7:30 p.m. ET Saturday, ABC)

It’s not trying good for Gophers quarterback Tanner Morgan. 

The tremendous senior took a vicious hit final week at Illinois, and the phrase out of the Twin Cities is that Morgan hasn’t practiced all week. The chances are good that backup Cole Kramer will get the decision, and he has accomplished solely 14 passes in 4 years. If Minnesota can’t throw the ball, they’re in bother.

It is going to be a "White Out" at Comfortable Valley, and that place might be completely rocking. That’s not precisely a super scenario for a backup quarterback. Kramer gained’t be capable of hear himself suppose, and altering performs on the line of scrimmage will certainly be a problem. 

I’m laying this quantity earlier than Morgan is probably going dominated out.

PICK: Penn State (-4 at FOX Guess) to win by greater than 4 factors

No. 14 Syracuse at No. 5 Clemson (Midday ET Saturday, ABC)

Lastly, some respect for Clemson.

The Tigers have coated three-straight video games towards NC State, Boston Faculty and Florida State, and now they’re nearly two-touchdown favorites towards undefeated Syracuse. The origin of this line says quite a bit.

I've a sense many individuals might be working to the window to take all these factors with the No. 14 Orange, however I’m not offered. Syracuse has been an excellent story, however that is simply the hardest take a look at of its season. Don’t be shocked if Clemson wins by three touchdowns.

Lay this quantity now earlier than it will get to -14.

PICK: Clemson (-13.5 at FOX Guess) to win by greater than 13.5 factors

Jets at Broncos (4:05 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS)

The Jets hype is getting ridiculous.

Denver was a 3.5-point favourite on the look-ahead line in Las Vegas, and it’s wild to me that the sport is principally right down to a decide ’em. Zach Wilson and the Child Jets have morphed right into a public darling, and that’s by no means a great signal.

The Broncos’ go protection continues to be among the finest within the league, and if they'll put strain on Wilson, there’s a powerful likelihood that he’ll make some errors. Ejiro Evero’s protection already has 20 sacks this season and has solely allowed 5 passing touchdowns.

This gained’t be a preferred decide, however I’m using with Denver.

PICK: Broncos (-115 moneyline at FOX Guess) to win outright

Bears at Patriots (8:15 p.m. ET Monday, ESPN)

What number of factors will the Bears rating?

Hopefully, you simply mentioned your reply out loud, and it was no increased than 10 or 13 factors. I've a tough time envisioning the ever-erratic Justin Fields mounting a lot of an offensive assault towards Invoice Belichick’s protection.

Chicago is averaging 15.5 factors per recreation — second-worst within the NFL — and odds are good that Belichick could have Fields seeing ghosts. New England has feasted on younger quarterbacks for many years, and Fields is definitely confused. The Bears offensive line stinks, and playmakers are few and much between.

A 23-7 ultimate rating feels method too doable.

PICK: Beneath 39.5 factors scored by each groups mixed at FOX Guess
