Top Consensus Picks for NFL Week 7
- Buffalo Bills – 67% of picks | BUF -8.5 at NE
- Jacksonville Jaguars – 67% of picks | JAX +3 at NO
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 65% of picks | TB -2.5 vs ATL
- Minnesota Vikings – 61% of picks | MIN +7 vs SF
Most of our bookies are kicking Week 7 off with a victory. Two-thirds of the submissions picked Jags +3, and Jacksonville ended up winning an eventual thriller against New Orleans. The Saints hung around and eventually tied the game up, but couldn’t complete the comeback.
On Sunday, most of our contestants are laying the big spread on Bills -8.5 in New England. The Patriots finally avoided a blowout, but still lost 21-17 on the road to Las Vegas last week. Buffalo’s been a little inconsistent this season, but still holds a 4-2 record and looks to rebound against a Patriots team that’s 0-3 at home.
Buccaneers -2.5 is the next-highest consensus pick across our bookies. Desmond Ridder had over 300 yards and two TD passes for the Falcons, but threw three picks that ultimately cost them a chance to win the game. Washington had less than 200 yards on offense and came out with the victory.
Another consensus pick over 60% is the Vikings +7. Our bookies believe Minnesota will keep things close against San Francisco. The 49ers are optimistic about the injury woes after the Cleveland loss, but they finally looked vulnerable for the first time all season.
