The NFL is back for Week 7, and unlike last week's loaded schedule of winning teams, this week features only one game involving both teams sitting over .500. Colts-Titans is a big one for AFC South supremacy. From a record perspective, games this week involving at least .500 teams include Falcons vs. Bengals (both 3-3), Seahawks (3-3) vs. Chargers (4-2), and Chiefs (4-2) vs. 49ers (3-3).
We'll likely see some upsets in this week's slate, but we'll see how many I can pick off. I'm back with straight-up picks for Week 7 of the regular season. We pick each game's winner, and then slot the picks based on confidence levels – high, medium, low, and no. A game with three asterisks (***) after it indicates a game where I'm picking the betting underdog to get the win.
Looking back at last week's picks, I was 0-2 with high confidence picks, 4-1 at medium, 1-3 at low, and 2-1 at no confidence. I suppose make of that what you will.
