After having to suffer through back-to-back weeks with just a single game, fans can breath a bit easier with another Monday Night Football doubleheader on the Week 7 NFL schedule. We'll see a pair of AFC versus NFC showdowns with Ravens vs. Buccaneers at 8:15 p.m. ET and Chargers vs. Cardinals at 9 p.m. ET. The two-game offering sets up well to create Week 7 NFL parlay picks involving both contests. Baltimore is a 3.5-point favorite over Tampa, per the Week 7 NFL lines , while the Chargers are favored by 2.5 over the Cardinals.
Other interconference matchups include Texans vs. Packers (-3) and Raiders vs. Rams (-6.5). In the latter, Vegas just shipped star receiver Davante Adams to New York, while the Rams could welcome back Cooper Kupp . Add in that Los Angeles enters off a bye, and many will readily ignore its 1-4 against-the-spread record this season and utilize the Rams in Week 7 NFL bets. Before you make any Week 7 NFL picks or NFL parlays, be sure to see what SportsLine senior analyst Larry Hartstein has to say .
A former lead writer for Covers and The Linemakers, Hartstein combines a vast network of Vegas sources with an analytical approach he honed working for Pro Football Focus. Hartstein tied for 52nd place (out of 1,598 entries) in the 2022 Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest, going 53-34-3 ATS. His weekly Vegas contest selections form the basis of his NFL best bets column, which is 85-59-3 (59.4%, +19.65 units) on sports betting picks since its inception in 2022.
We can tell you Hartstein loves the Falcons (-3) to cover at home versus Seattle. These teams are trending in opposite directions, with Atlanta winning three in a row, while Seattle has lost three consecutive. The Falcons have also protected their home turf in recent matchup history, having won three straight regular-season contests against the Seahawks . Kirk Cousins and co. are hitting their stride as the team has increased its point total in each of the last three games, while the Atlanta run game had a breakout performance on Sunday as Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier combined for 200 rushing yards and three touchdowns.
Seattle's defense started off strongly, giving up just 14.3 through its first three games, but the Hawks have since allowed 35.7 over their last three. They are coming off their first contest without a sack over their last nine games, and Hartstein notes that the Seahawks defense has not been forcing turnovers as of late. "Seattle has no interceptions since Week 1 ( Bo Nix ) and has given up eight touchdown passes the past three games. Now the Seahawks must deal with a balanced Falcons' offense averaging 6.1 yards per play (7th, NFL)," Hartstein told SportsLine. See which other NFL parlay picks to make here .
