NFL Week 7 2018: Picks and predictions
The NFL season is starting to get into the meaty part of the schedule, and we have some juicy Week 7 games coming down the pike this weekend.
Last week was a mess for yours truly. I believed in the Jaguars. I believed in the Colts. I believed in the Titans. This confidence proved to be a horrible error, as I had my first losing week of the year.
Of course, we’re due for a rebound, so I’m coming with the heat this week. Let’s get it!

Denver Broncos (-2.5) at Arizona Cardinals
Von Miller is very confident that the Broncos (2-4) are going to beat the Cardinals (1-5). After watching Denver basically paint lanes down the field for opposing running backs the last few weeks, color me concerned that his proclamation backfires.
Pick: Arizona 20, Denver 19
Tennessee Titans at Los Angeles Chargers (-6.5) (London)
The Chargers (4-2) are one of the best teams in the NFL, while the Titans (3-3) just allowed 11 sacks to Marcus Mariota’s 10 completions. The game being at a neutral site helps the cause, but Tennessee isn’t good enough to beat a Los Angeles squad that’s heating up.
Pick: Los Angeles 26, Tennessee 20
Buffalo Bills at Indianapolis Colts (-7.5)
The Colts (1-5) are playing horrific football, but they have to beat the Bills (2-3), right? Buffalo is going to be starting Derek Anderson, who will be an upgrade over Josh Allen and the immortal Nathan Peterman. Still, the Bills are so, so limited.
Pick: Indianapolis 27, Buffalo 21
