NFL Monday Night Football Week 7 Betting Preview, Picks And Propsrops

The NFL Monday Night Football Week 7 schedule includes a doubleheader with two leading NFC contenders starting with the NFC South first place Buccaners (5-1) battling the Lions (4-2) in Detroit. Check out my initial game day coverage at OSGA and betting data shows the Lions and over the high total are more popular bets with greater than 70% of the bets supporting Detroit and a higher scoring outcome. The nightcap in the Northwest is an interconference clash in Seattle with the Seahawks (4-2) tackling the Texans (2-3). Seattle needs a win and stay tied for first place in AFC West with Sunday winners Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers. A Seahawks win and cover provides us a 3-0 sweep on our Week 7 picks.

Let’s also shoot for a NFL player prop winner after the 12-0 run weeks 3-6 ended Sunday with a pair of losses on player prop pick and opinion. Our tips, teasers and totals were good in Week 7 with a top game total winner in the Panthers 13-6 win with a battle of incompetent quarterbacks and easy under the total winner.
