2023 NFL Week 7 Best Bets
Lions at Ravens
The Lions are getting way too much public love and hype this past week after roaring out to a 5-1 record. It has been an impressive start and Jared Goff has improved as a QB. But they did get their signature win over the Chiefs when Kelce and Chris Jones were out.
The Ravens have been clicking and really should have beaten the Steelers if they hadn’t literally dropped 7 passes. I’ve been impressed with how Lamar has looked in this new passing scheme that’s been coordinated by Todd Monken.
This game on the road for the Lions is a big one, I think we’re about to find out if they’re actually contenders or not, and I have a feeling they’re fugazi.
Give me the Ravens on the moneyline.

Steelers at Rams
We’ve got ourselves a matchup of very smart head coaches in Mike Tomlin vs Sean McVay. The Rams look really good and have their offense back on top of the league with the addition of Puka Nacua. He’s taken over the Robert Woods role in the offense, allowing Cooper Kupp to thrive again.
The Steelers have struggled on offense this season, but their defense and TJ Watt have won them games they shouldn’t have won. This is going to be a good game, Tomlin is really good off a bye week and I think the extra time will help and his team get the edge in this one.
I love the Steelers pulling the upset in this one.

Chargers at Chiefs
The Chargers have really looked bad this season. I am surprised Brandon Staley has not been let go yet. The addition of Kellen Moore has not helped Justin Herbert. In fact, it looks like Herbert has regressed. I say all this and the Chargers have to go on the road to Arrowhead to face Mahomes and company.
This one feels too easy, the Chiefs should easily roll the Chargers and I wouldn’t be surprised if Staley is fired soon after this game ends. I’ll take the Chiefs -5.5 points in this one.
Chiefs -5.5 points (-110) 1 Unit
Dolphins at Eagles
The Dolphins are going into a prime-time game with expectations for the first time in a while. The Eagles are trying to bounce back after a horrific turnover-filled loss to the Jets. The first matchup between Jalen Hurts and Tua. This should be a great game.
The Dolphins offense is too fast for the Eagles to keep up. The injuries the Eagles have on the defensive side of the ball will be tough to overcome when dealing with Tyreke Hill and all the speed the Dolphins have.
I’ll take the Dolphins on the moneyline to pull the upset.
