NFL Week 7 picks and predictions

Here are all of Sports Illustrated’s Don Banks’ picks for Week 7 of the NFL Season.

Every week, the folks at Score Big team up with Sports Illustrated‘s Don Banks to preview the NFL season. Banks had a lot of success in Week 6, going 11-3 to improve his season record to .648.

Let’s see how Banks does in Week 7:

The Bills appear to be abetter team under Rex Ryan, but Banks still sees them winning a close one against the lowly Jaguars.

The Lions are still looking for the first win of the season against a Vikings team that looks like it still trying to find its identity. Banks has the Vikings holding off the lowly Lions, and it is hard to argue with that pick.

The Colts are struggling but the Saints defense is vulnerable, Banks thinks the Colts take advantage of the Saints to get the win.

The Steelers are still without Ben Roethlisberger, but Banks doesn’t think that will keep them from beating a struggling Chiefs team on the road.

If you’re playing the Texans, you’re expecting a win. Banks thinks the Dolphins can keep DeAndre Hopkins under control and get a win over a Texans team that continues to struggle.

The Patriots are on fire this season and while the Jets are a tough rivalry game, Banks has them getting the win at home in Foxborough.

The Browns are continuing to be the Browns and the Rams are as inconsistent as always. Banks doesn’t think the Browns can pull off the win despite taking the undefeated Broncos to over time in Week 6.

The Falcons suffered their first lost, fortunately the struggling Titans are coming to town and without rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota. Banks is picking the Falcons to bounce back.

A team of lowly NFC teams, but Banks is picking the Redskins to get the better of rookie Jameis Winston and the Bucs.

The Raiders are coming off a bye, but Banks is picking the Chargers to get the win. Banks is also predicting a bit of a shootout and thinks the Chargers need to score to get the win.

The Cowboys are continuing to struggle and they’re still waiting for Tony Romo to return. In the meantime, the Matt Cassel experience is coming to town and it isn’t enough to convince Banks to pick them over the Giants.

Banks is picking the Panthers to remain undefeated against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. After the Panthers beat the Seahawks, hard to believe they can’t beat the Eagles.
