Fairway’s Football Forecast – NFL Week 7 Underdog Picks And Preview
NFL Week 7 Underdog Picks and Information You Can Bet On
A 2-0 sweep in NFL Week 6 runs the 2019 record to 12-6 ATS selecting only underdogs on these pages. That improved our 2+ year record to 66-33 ATS (65.6%) with the Saints (+3) and Texans (+4) both winning outright as underdogs last week with both teams picking up road wins to remain in first place in their respective divisions.
We do bet and play some favorites each week as well, and had the Vikings and Broncos as winners in Week 6 and also used those two teams in the Circa Million NFL contest in Las Vegas. I am free rolled in that contest by other investors and this year a partner who put me in with my proven point spread prognosis in the NFL and handicapping success. Following a 4-1 contest result in Week 6, I’ve moved up to 59% ATS and need more 4 and 5 win weeks to move up the Circa contest leaderboard with 1,875 entires in the inaugural 2019 NFL contest. My colleagues at TheLines post contest information and lines each week.

NFL Week 7 – Sunday, Oct. 20
453 Houston (+1) at Indianapolis – Texans Moneyline +100
464 Atlanta (+3) vs. LA Rams – Falcons Moneyline +140
469 Baltimore (+3) at Seattle – Ravens Moneyline +140
473 Philadelphia (+2.5) at Dallas – Eagles Moneyline +125
The Texans (4-2) were knocked out of the playoffs by the Colts (3-2) last season 21-7 and played poorly in that home loss. In this battle for first place in the AFC South, we like Houston, who is performing at a very high level on offense with 472 yards in victory on the road over the Chiefs last week and 592 yards the previous week in flying over the Falcons 53-32. The Colts also beat the Chiefs on the road two weeks ago and Indy had a bye last week to get healthier. But while the Colts were an 11 point ‘Dog at KC, the Texans were just +4, and both teams used their strong running game to control the ball, clock and chains in victory. The Texans offense is top5 in teh league averaging nearly 400 yards per game at 6.1 yards per play and more than 50 yards per game better than the Colts. The Texans yards-per-play differential is +1.4 over the Colts as well. Indy squeezed out a pair of very close wins over sub-par Atlanta and Tennessee and lost the Chargers and Raiders (on this field). The Texans resume and play is stronger, and the wrong team is billed as the favorite only because the Colts are off a bye.
