NFL Picks Week 7: Tips and Predictions for Prop Bets, Over/Under Lines and Odds
- Updated: October 18, 2016
In the wake of the Arizona Cardinals dissecting the New York Jets in 28-3 fashion on Monday Night Football, the NFL can advance to what looks like one of the more interesting weeks of the season.
“Interesting” meaning lucrative for bettors. The week starts easy enough with the Green Bay Packers hosting the Chicago Bears on Thursday Night Football in a predictable affair before moving on to a slate looking good on paper.
