NFL Week 7 Prime Time Betting Picks
Thursday night football returns to the NFL Week 7 prime time schedule. The biggest game of the three is Sunday night. Raiders’ head coach Jon Gruden will be facing Tom Brady and his old team when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers heads out west to Las Vegas.
NFL Week 7 Prime Time Betting Picks
Thursday Night Football- New York Giants (1-5) at Philadelphia Eagles (1-4-1)
Philadelphia is favored at home by 4 ½ points in this NFC East rivalry. Bovada has set the total line at 43 ½ points.
As bad as each team has played through the first six weeks of games, they are both in the thick of the NFC East title race. The New York Giants are coming off their first win but it was against Washington. The Philadelphia Eagles played tough against Pittsburgh and Baltimore that past two weeks but still came up on the losing end.
The Eagles have won their last five home games against New York SU. I have them winning again this Thursday while covering the 4 ½ points.
Sunday Night Football- Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-2) at Las Vegas Raiders (3-2)
BetOnline has Tampa Bay listed as a three-point road favorite with the total set at 53 ½ points.
Tampa Bay is coming off its most impressive win of the season after beating Green Bay 38-10. Las Vegas is coming off a bye after its big upset of Kansas City in Week 5. Both teams have quite a bit of betting upside heading into Sunday night.
Raiders getting three points at home is a very attractive play. However, my best bet in this inter-conference clash is the OVER on 53 ½ points. Both teams should be able to put up enough points in prime time.

Monday Night Football- Chicago Bears (5-1) at Los Angeles Rams (4-2)
The Rams are set as 5 ½-point home favorites for Monday’s NFC clash. The total for the game is 45 points.
Chicago is starting to look like a legitimate contender in the NFC North with a revitalized Nick Foles at quarterback. The Rams will try and bounce back from a bad loss to the San Francisco 49ers as road favorites. All four of their wins this season have come against the watered-down NFC East.
The Bears have won five of their last six games SU on the road. Yet, the Rams are 6-1 SU in their last seven home games. I am going with the OVER on 45 points as the top play.
NFL Week 7 Prime Time Betting Trends:
Through six weeks of games, road underdogs have covered against the closing spread 56.5 percent of the time. Road teams in general get the edge with a winning rate ATS of 54.9 percent.
Underdogs also have the overall edge in NFL betting trends. They have covered ATS 53.8 percent of the time.
When it comes to betting the total line, a bet on the OVER has cash-in 52.2 percent of the time. However, the total stayed UNDER the closing line at SportsBetting.ag in 10 of last week’s 14 games.
