NFL Week 7 Betting Preview, Tips & Odds: Sunday, October 22
The NFL returns for an action-packed Sunday as 22 teams have games scheduled. Here are our best picks of the bunch.
New England Patriots vs Buffalo Bills
Stefon Diggs has been one of the best offensive playmakers in the NFL over the past five seasons, and this year has been no different. The talented wide receiver has five games with over 100 receiving yards and has scored five touchdowns through six games. While the Patriots have a talented defence, they have really struggled in recent weeks, conceding 34 points or more in two of the last three games. Diggs and the Bills’ offence should have no issues, and at $1.94 with the top bookmakers, betting on him to score a touchdown is a wise move.

Indianapolis Colts vs Cleveland Browns
Indianapolis looked terrible last weekend, but at home, we think they will bounce back. The Browns enter this game after beating the undefeated San Francisco 49ers, and Cleveland’s defense is among the best in the league. That being said, Cleveland’s win was very hard-fought and emotional, and we expect them to come out flat in this contest. Indianapolis should do enough offensively at home to keep this game close and cover the spread.
Indianapolis Colts +2.5
Baltimore Ravens vs Detroit Lions
This is going to be a great game between two teams constructed in very different ways. The Lions, sitting at 5-1, have dominated teams through their offence, and the Ravens, at 4-2, have a stifling defence. In this game, we think the Ravens’ defence will win out. Baltimore’s offence hasn’t clicked to its potential yet this season, but the Lions’ defence is filled with liabilities that Lamar Jackson and co. will take advantage of. Take the home team here.
Baltimore Ravens -3
Chicago Bears vs Las Vegas Raiders
After a blistering start to the season, Davante Adams has slowed down in the past two weeks. A big reason for that has been a shoulder injury, but this week, he says he is healthy. And it comes at a perfect time. The Chicago Bears have given up the third-most passing yards and the second-most passing touchdowns in the NFL. They will struggle to limit Adams all game long, and at -2.25, we love his odds to score his fourth touchdown of the season.

New York Giants vs Washington Commanders
The Giants finally showed signs of life last week as they lost to the elite Buffalo Bills by a measly two points. While New York has lost four straight, they are getting healthier and looking more like the playoff team they were last year. In this home game, we think they will play their divisional rivals tough. The Commanders, while 3-3, have been very lucky and are not as good as their record would indicate. Take the underdogs in this spot.
New York Giants +3
Seattle Seahawks vs Arizona Cardinals
D.K. Metcalf is one of the best receivers in the NFL, and his massive frame makes him one of the most dangerous red zone targets in the league. While he has only scored twice this season, he is consistently targeted in that area and has drawn penalties on many potential scores. Against a bad Cardinals secondary, we expect Metcalf to once again be a factor and score his third touchdown of the season.

Philadelphia Eagles vs Miami Dolphins
This Sunday Night feature could be a potential Super Bowl preview as both teams hold a record of 5-1. It’s going to be a thrilling affair, and we are taking the home underdogs. While the Dolphins have been dominant, the one game they lost was to another elite team, the Buffalo Bills. They gave up 48 points in that game, and Philadelphia have a similarly potent offence. In a game where there isn’t much to separate the two teams, we are going to side with the home underdogs.
