Dustin Saracini’s expert pick: Texans
The Los Angeles Rams hurt us deeply in Week 6 after the Arizona Cardinals stunned them. But give me the Texans here to help us bounce back and find the win column.
We’re seeing the most lopsided spread of the week, with Houston as the -10.5 favorite against the New York Giants in the NFL Week 7 odds. And with CJ Stroud coming off his second 300-plus-yard game in three weeks, we’ll invest in Houston Texans stock. The third-ranked rushing defense will make New York turn to the air, which won’t be pretty for JJ McCarthy in his first start for the Giants.
Josh Inglis' survivor pick: Panthers
It took me until Week 6, but the Indianapolis Colts were my first letdown of the season. There are landmines everywhere in Week 7, but I'm backing the Carolina Panthers, who are healthy on offense and facing a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that was lucky to get to OT last week with a 3.1 YPP mark.
The honeymoon is over with Jalon Daniels, who needed 43 passes for 164 yards and struggled to play from behind. He's logged five interceptions since Baker Mayfield went down.
Joe Osborne's survivor pick: Vikings
The Colts have been exposed as one of the NFL's worst teams, so let's take advantage in a great spot for the Minnesota Vikings, who are at home and coming off a bye.
Indy comes into the week ranked 31st in net yards per play, and the latest Daniel Jones reclamation project is hitting a wall. Don't expect improvement for Jones versus a defense that's first in points allowed, with the highest pressure percentage leaguewide.
Geoff Clark’s expert pick: Broncos
This could be a "contrarian pick" since the Denver Broncos are on the road and their opponent, the Cardinals, just beat the preseason Super Bowl favorite Rams.
But even though Denver QB Bo Nix has been terrible this season, this is a get-right game because Arizona's defense is 31st in points allowed per contest.
