Chicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers welcome rival Chicago Bears to Lambeau Field in what shapes up as a must-win Thursday Night Football game for both sides. The Packers are 9-2 at the line in their last 11 games against the Bears but face the prospect of entering this game with just one recognised running back due to injuries to Eddie Lacy and James Starks.
Line bet – Bears at the line +7.5
Best bet – Bears +15.5 points @ $1.34
Feeling lucky – Packers to win by 1-6 points @ $4.00
New York Giants @ Los Angeles Rams
London welcomes the NFL for the second time in three weeks as the Rams ‘host’ the Giants. Odell Beckham Jr is coming off a game where he tallied 222 receiving yards and two touchdowns while the Rams will be hoping star second-year running back Todd Gurley finally breaks through and has a dominant match. The Giants have won the last six games in the series.
Line bet – Rams at the line +2.5
Best bet – Either side to win by less than 8 points @ $1.57
Feeling lucky – Rams to win by 1-13 points @ $2.69
New Orleans Saints @ Kansas City Chiefs
The New Orleans Saints are an offensive juggernaut at home but struggle on the road, and travel to face the dangerous Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7. The Saints average more than 12 points a game less on the road than they do at home since the beginning of last season, while the Chiefs rank #1 in least points conceded at home during the same time period.
Line bet – Chiefs at the line -6.5
Best bet – Chiefs to win @ $1.36
Feeling lucky – Chiefs to win by 14 or more points @ $3.14
Indianapolis Colts @ Tennessee Titans
The Indianapolis Colts are in a must-win situation when they travel to Tennessee to tackle the Titans in an all-important AFC South clash. The Colts are coming off a short week, having blown a 14-point lead in the last four minutes against the Houston Texans but they will enter this game with confidence having won the last nine games against the Titans.
Line bet – Titans at the line -2.5
Best bet – Titans to win @ $1.69
Feeling lucky – Titans to win by 1-6 points @ $3.50
Minnesota Vikings @ Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles will look to arrest a two game slide when they return home to host the undefeated Vikings fresh off the bye. The Vikings defence is arguably the best in the league and they will relish the opportunity to tackle rookie quarterback Carson Wentz. Sam Bradford returns to the place where he was so disappointing as an Eagle; he has rejuvenated his career leading the Vikings in the absence of Teddy Bridgewater.
Line bet – Vikings at the line -2.5
Best bet – Vikings to win @ $1.70
Feeling lucky – Vikings to win by 1-13 points @ $2.38
Cleveland Browns @ Cincinnati Bengals
The reigning AFC North champion Bengals are struggling but will welcome the only winless team in the league as the Browns come to Cincinnati. The Bengals normally solid offense ranks fourth-last in points scored per game, while the Browns will look to reverse recent history as they have lost the last three games in the series but an average of more than 28 points per game.
Line bet – Browns at the line -10.0
Best bet – Bengals to win @ $1.23
Feeling lucky – Bengals to win by 7-12 points @ $4.50
Washington Redskins @ Detroit Lions
The Redskins head to Detroit having won four straight, while the Lions are at 3-3 with all six of their games having been decided by less than 7 points. Both quarterbacks come into this game in form, raising the chances of a Sunday afternoon shootout. Each of Detroit’s three home games this season have been decided by 3 points or less.
Line bet – Lions at the line -1.0
Best bet – Total game score over 49.0 points @ $1.90
Feeling lucky – Lions to win by 1-5 points @ $4.50
Oakland Raiders @ Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars return home looking for their third-straight win when they host the AFC West-leading Oakland Raiders. Struggling Jags quarterback Blake Bortles should have plenty of chances against a woeful Oakland defence, but the Raiders come into this game with impressive road form on the season. Each of the last three Jaguars games have been decided by three points or less.
Line bet – Raiders at the line +1.5
Best bet – Either team by less than 8 points @ $1.45
Feeling lucky – Either team to win by less than 3 points @ $3.30
Buffalo Bills @ Miami Dolphins
The Buffalo Bills come to Miami riding a four game winning streak on the back of a strong defence and strong running game. The Dolphins shocked Pittsburgh last weekend and will look to continue that form in this matchup.
Line bet – Bills at the line -3.0
Best bet – Bills to win @ $1.64
Feeling lucky – Bills to win by 1-13 points @ $2.27
Baltimore Ravens @ New York Jets
Baltimore’s slide continued in New York last week, dropping a third consecutive game as they slumped to 3-3. The Jets are 1-5 and seem a long way off the 10-win team from last season and need to overcome an eight-game losing streak against the Ravens.
Line bet – Ravens at the line +1.0
Best bet – Either team to win by 8 points or less @ $1.57
Feeling lucky – Ravens to win by 1-6 points @ $4.00
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers are the worst offensive unit in the NFL and are coming off a 45-16 pasting by the Bills. The Buccs head into this game coming off the bye and will be confident of a strong showing against a defence that has conceded the most touchdowns in the league this season.
Line bet – Buccaneers at the line -2.0
Best bet – total match points over 47.0 points @ $1.90
Feeling lucky – Buccaneers to win by more than 7 points @ $3.50
San Diego Chargers @ Atlanta Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons return home having split a brutal road back-to-back against the Broncos and Seahawks, and will be keen not to let their guard down against the San Diego Chargers. With both teams figuring in the top 3 in points scored, and both defences in the bottom 10 for points conceded, a shootout is on the cards
Line bet – Chargers at the line +6.5
Best bet – total match points over 53.0 points @ $1.90
Feeling lucky – Falcons to win by 1-6 points @ $3.30
New England Patriots @ Pittsburgh Steelers
This game is a tale of two quarterbacks – Ben Roethlisberger will miss the game with a knee injury, while Tom Brady’s has returned from suspension without skipping a beat. Eight of the last 11 games between New England and Pittsburgh have resulted in the total game score being over the market line, but that figures to change without ‘Big Ben’
Line bet – Steelers at the line +7.0
Best bet – Patriots to score under 26.5 points @ $1.92
Feeling lucky – Patriots to win by 1-6 points @ $3.75
Seattle Seahawks @ Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals host the Seahawks with top spot in the division at stake. The Seahawks snuck over the line against the Falcons last weekend, while the Cardinals shredded the Jets on Monday night football behind irrepressible running back David Johnson, whose ability to both run and receive is unmatched in today’s NFL. Five of the last six contests between the Seahawks and Cardinals have been won by the road team.
Line bet – Seahawks at the line +2.0
Best bet – Either team to win by less than 8 points @ $1.57
Feeling lucky – Seahawks to win by 1-13 points @ $2.57
Houston Texans @ Denver Broncos
The Broncos will return home breathing fire following their upset loss to San Diego last weekend. Adding fuel to the fire will be the fact that they will look across the field at former quarterback Brock Osweiler. In each of their last three encounters with the Texans, the Broncos have won the fourth quarter by at least 14 points.
Line bet – Broncos at the line -7.5
Best bet – Broncos to win @ $1.29
Feeling lucky – Broncos to win by 13-18 points @ $5.50
