Find out why Geoff Schwartz is fading the Steelers and losing confidence in the Saints offense, as he lays out his best bets for Week 7.
There are a few lingering questions in every bettor's mind as we head into NFL Week 7. Can the Saints keep up with the Broncos without Derek Carr? Will Russell Wilson lead Pittsburgh to a win if he gets the start instead of Justin Fields? Will the Panthers present a challenge to Jayden Daniels & Co.? Lucky for you, I have the answers you're looking for. Let's dive into my best bets for this weekend's matchups.
Broncos @ Saints The New Orleans Saints are without quarterback Derek Carr and likely without receivers Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed. They're coming off a short week, and now they face a Broncos defense that is very good. I just don’t see how the Saints score points in this game. Last weekend, the Saints scored 27 points, all in the second quarter and mostly in unsustainable ways. They had a punt return for a touchdown and then three short fields off tipped pass interceptions.
Saints team total Under 17.5 points scored SUNDAY, OCT. 20 Panthers @ Commanders Last weekend was a reset in the NFL. We had several weeks in which underdogs — especially those getting more than five points — were covering at a higher rate than usual. Then, Week 5 happened. That's when all the bad teams finally actually looked bad. The Panthers, Raiders and Patriots all looked like the poor teams that they are in blowout losses. I think that trend continues this weekend for Carolina.
Commanders to win by more than 7.5 points Jets @ Steelers It has been announced that the Steelers are working quarterback Russell Wilson back into the lineup against the Jets this weekend. He will take first team reps in lieu of Justin Fields, who led the Steelers to a 4-2 start. The Steelers' four wins are not about Fields. The defense has played well, and last Sunday, the run game came alive. However, Fields is not turning the ball over, and he's scrambling when needed.
