The online sportsbook football fans around the NFL know that week seven is when teams traditionally start to make a move towards a playoff spot. There are some teams that have not made the playoffs for years that are suddenly in playoff contention. Other teams have struggled the first six weeks of the season and need to start making a move now.
Chicago Bears (-1 ½) @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Price per head sports fans in Chicago and Tampa Bay know that this is the time for each of these teams to finally make their move. The Bears need to start winning games or it will fall off in the NFC playoff hunt. The Bucs just took first place in the NFC South from the Saints and need to keep that spot if they want a playoff spot in January.
Pick: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
San Diego Chargers (-1) @ New York Jets
The San Diego Chargers are getting tired of hearing about the Oakland Raiders in the AFC West. The Chargers are the best team in that division, and it needs to start showing it. The Jets just beat the winless Dolphins, but looked awful doing it. This is the intertops game where the Chargers show its dominance and the Jets fall deeper into the abyss.
Pick: San Diego Chargers
Atlanta Falcons @ Detroit Lions (-3 ½)
Forget “the handshake” and the first Detroit loss of the season. This is the week where Detroit gets back on the winning track and the Falcons continue its downward spiral.
Pick: Detroit Lions
