This means NFL Week 7 Best Bets! Last week provided us with a few surprises. Those include the\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/eagles\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Philadelphia Eagles<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0and<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/49ers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0San Francisco 49ers<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0suffering their first loss. To go along with that the\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/lions\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Detroit Lions<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0asserted themselves in the top tier of the league. The one bad thing last week was only going 1-2 in Best Bets. Out of the losses last Sunday, the most painful had to be the 49ers versus\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/browns\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the Cleveland Browns<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0over 37.5 total points. Unfortunately, the 49ers missed the game-winning and over-hitting field goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This Sunday is setting up to be a great one, even outside of games that might be bet on. We\u2019ll get to enjoy heavyweight battles and big divisional games. The biggest of them all will be the Eagles taking on the\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/dolphins\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Miami Dolphins<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, almost like a midseason Super Bowl. On top of that, there is a great matchup in Lions versus Ravens, a rare meeting. It will be interesting to see how the Lions fare with a depleting backfield. Additionally, there will be five big divisional matchups Sunday. Even when it seems like a division game doesn&#8217;t matter necessarily, they always deliver.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Through it all it\u2019s been narrowed down to just 3 games, albeit these are the main three that stood out this week. Looking to turn around a shaky performance last week, here\u2019s the NFL Week 7 Best Bets!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Best Bets<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cleveland Browns @ Indianapolis Colts &#8211; Pick, Browns -2.5\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Coming off a huge win versus the 49ers, the Browns will try to continue their climb. Led by a very impressive defense this Browns team is full of grit. They\u2019ll try to stop\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/09\/21\/signing-gardner-minshew-was-smart-move-by-indianapolis-colts\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Gardener Minshew<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> and the Colts. Now starter for the season, it unfortunately doesn\u2019t seem the Minshew Mania is there. With or without Deshaun Watson, the Browns are primed for another big win and cover. Hopefully, it will be a good start to NFL Week 7 Best Bets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[metabet_core_game_tile query=&#8221;fbp\/cleveland_browns&#8221; size=&#8221;350&#215;300&#8243; site_id=&#8221;lastwordonsports&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Buffalo Bills @ New England Patriots &#8211; Pick, Bills -8.5<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/06\/15\/is-bill-belichick-the-greatest-coach-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bill Belichick<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0magic is wearing off in\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/browns\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">New England<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0and fast. After years of assuming it\u2019ll be figured out, the Patriots are now at the bottom of the league. Not only can they not win, but they also can\u2019t cover. So far, they are 1-5 in both categories. The\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/bills\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bills<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0have had a few blowout wins, and the Patriots have given up plenty. Opposingly, it seems like Buffalo has found a consistent run game. Even with a shaky Josh Allen, the Bills by a couple of scores seems inevitable.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[metabet_core_game_tile query=&#8221;fbp\/buffalo_bills&#8221; size=&#8221;350&#215;300&#8243; site_id=&#8221;lastwordonsports&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Los Angeles Chargers @ Kansas City Chiefs &#8211; Pick, Chiefs -5.5<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Not only are the\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/chiefs\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Chiefs\u00a0<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">winning, per usual, but this year they\u2019re covering. Through six games they\u2019ve posted a 4-2 ATS record, up from most years. Also per usual the\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/chargers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Chargers<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0are loaded talent-wise and underperforming. Unfortunately for Justin Herbert, his team always finds a way to let it slip through. Also, not great for them is to go to Kansas City, not a place to find a turnaround. The Chiefs also will be welcoming back weapon Mecole Hardman, a dynamic outside threat. A Chiefs win and hopefully cover gives them a huge AFC West lead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[metabet_core_game_tile query=&#8221;fbp\/kansas_city_chiefs&#8221; size=&#8221;350&#215;300&#8243; site_id=&#8221;lastwordonsports&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Universal Responsible Gambling Disclaimer:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ages 21+.
