SANTA CLARA — Lengthy story brief, listed here are my NFL picks for Week 7:
49ers 27, Chiefs 26: The 49ers win their seventh straight at Levi’s Stadium – a house streak final equaled by the 2011-12 groups. By the best way, the 2012 workforce, full with coach Jim Harbaugh, can be honored this alumni weekend. Line: 49ers +3
Cardinals 24, Saints 20: Kyler Murray tried the NFL’s second-most passes via six weeks, so he needs to be warmed up for the season debut of DeAndre Hopkins. Line: Cardinals -2
Ravens 20, Browns 17: Not a very good week for Cleveland groups on the Jap Seaboard (see: Guardians lose to Yankees in MLB playoffs). This matchup options the NFL’s high rushers in yards (Nick Chubb, Browns; 649) and yards per carry (Lamar Jackson, Ravens; 8.1). Line: Browns +6 1/2
Buccaneers 27, Panthers 14: May this be Christian McCaffrey’s closing recreation earlier than swapping a Carolina uniform for the Buffalo Payments’ or Los Angeles Rams’? Line: Bucs -10 1/2
Bengals 31, Falcons 16: Atlanta’s protection once more permits deep passes, and the Bengals receivers catch them, in contrast to the 49ers’ final Sunday. Line: Bengals -6
Cowboys 23, Lions 21: Dak Prescott pulls out a good win in his return whereas the post-bye LLLLLions fall to 1-5. Line: Lions +7
Giants 28, Jaguars 24: Saquon Barkley has extra carries and yards from scrimmage than anybody within the NFL, simply as many would have predicted when he made his NFL debut in 2018 with 106 yards in opposition to the Jaguars. Line: Giants +3
Titans 24, Colts 21: Nashville and the Titans are going to construct a $2.1 billion domed stadium, fairly the barn to rival The Grand Ole Opry. Line: Titans -2 1/2
Commanders 21, Packers 20: The Packers drop their third straight, and Aaron Rodgers falls to 0-4 in Washington – his regular-season kryptonite the best way the 49ers are his postseason model. Line: Commanders +5 1/2
Jets 17, Broncos 14: The Jets stay unbeaten on the street after earlier triumphs in Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Inexperienced Bay. Line: Jets +1
Raiders 33, Texans 17: Each groups come off their bye looking for a second win. Vegas looks like an acceptable setting for such desperation. Line: Raiders -7
Chargers 24, Seahawks 23: Justin Herbert is again within the Pacific Northwest because the Chargers roll their win streak to 4. Line: Seahawks +6.
Dolphins 26, Steelers 20: Tua Tagovailoa makes a victorious prime-time return – and the NFL champions how nice its concussion protocol is (wink, wink). Line: Steelers +7
Patriots 23, Bears 16: Bailey & Belichick carry on successful, similar to Brady & Belichick did. Line: Bears +8
Final week: 8-6 straight up, 7-7 in opposition to the unfold
Season: 51-42-1 straight up, 50-44 in opposition to the unfold
