NFL Week 7 Picks: Latest Odds, Spreads and Updated Midweek Predictions

NFL bettors don't get a bye week.  

In reality, those who wish to make a little coin on the odds out of Las Vegas don't get any days off. It's happening again—Week 7 odds have already been out for a few days, and the lines have shifted, both due to Las Vegas protecting itself and restless bettors already throwing down cash.

There's no time like the present to catch up, though. It's midweek, but favorable lines for those looking for such a thing still remain—at least for now.

Here's a look at the full slate and which lines bettors should attack.

Analyzing Best Midweek Lines 

Baltimore at Arizona (-9)

Las Vegas expects Monday Night Football between the Baltimore Ravens and Arizona Cardinals to be rather lopsided, but that's probably not doing the matchup justice.

It's going to be a bloodbath.

Baltimore has just one win this season—an overtime victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a Thursday night game in which the Steelers had all of threeish days to prep Michael Vick to act as the starting quarterback after Ben Roethlisberger's injury.   

It's not impressive in the least, and neither is Joe Flacco's eight touchdowns to seven interceptions going against a defense that has already forced 11 interceptions.

These Cardinals are at home and tout one of the league's best defenses. There's no stopping the offense either, as Carson Palmer has thrown for 1,737 yards and 14 touchdowns to five interceptions, and Chris Johnson behind him has 445 yards and two scores on a 4.8 per-carry average.

In short, Baltimore has neither the defense to stop Palmer and Co. nor the offense to keep pace.

Prediction: Cardinals 28, Ravens 15

New York Jets at New England (-10)

The New England Patriots look incredible, in a word. 

There isn't much to say really. Tom Brady's team stands undefeated behind his 70.6 completion percentage with 14 scores to one pick, both his starting backs average better than 5.0 yards per carry and the defense does enough to keep the team comfortable.

But the Jets are almost just as impressive at 4-1. The new regime found a gem of a starter in Ryan Fitzpatrick. The 32-year-old looks comfortable slinging the ball to the resurgent duo of Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker, who tout four scores apiece. Chris Ivory looks like one of the most reliable backs in the league at 5.5 yards per carry and four scores.

It's easy to forget these Jets are built specifically to beat the Patriots. The team lost both encounters last year but by a grand total of three points. This year's team looks better on both sides of the football and should be able to keep it somewhat close as usual.

Not that bettors should throw money against Brady. At home he'll pull out the win but not by as much as Las Vegas suggests.

Prediction: Patriots 28, Jets 20

New Orleans at Indianapolis (-4.5)

The battle of quarterbacks on the rebound from injuries desperate to save their teams hits a fever pitch in Week 7 when the New Orleans Saints visit the Indianapolis Colts.

Drew Brees' team has won two of three since his recent return—although one came against the Tony Romo-less Dallas Cowboys, the other a home Thursday Night Football affair against the Atlanta Falcons. Andrew Luck's team lost his first game back, but it's hard to complain about a seven-point loss to New England in which he tossed three scores with no picks.

"(He) made great decisions," Colts coach Chuck Pagano said, per Zak Keefer of the Indianapolis Star. "Took what the defense was giving him. (If) it wasn't there down the field, throw it away, hit a checkdown, play really good football."

In broad strokes, the Colts look like the better team. New Orleans needed Brees at his best at home to save the season against a divisional opponent. Luck and the Colts are at home this time around and are an unfamiliar opponent. Even without Luck, the Colts continued to win games too.

Luck will be his usual self, and Frank Gore won't have any problems against a struggling defense allowing 4.8 yards per carry and 138.2 rushing yards on average. It'll be the difference in a shootout.

Prediction: Colts 28, Saints 27
