NFL Picks Week 7: Oakland Raiders, Pittsburgh Steelers and Teams Sure to Cover

With another wild week of NFL football behind us and another approaching fast, now is the time to figure out where to lay your money down.

While this week features many one sided affairs, there are a few games that look like locks that are just too big of crap=shoots to take the risk on.

The following three games are sure bets and you should feel comfortable buying in while the line stays this way early in the week. Good Luck!

Kansas City Chiefs @ Oakland Raiders—The Kansas City Chiefs are one of the worst teams in the NFL, and this week they will get beat down by the Oakland Raiders and whoever is under center for the silver and black.

The Raiders are riding the hype of the Carson Palmer trade, but they will beat the Chiefs with their potent run game while they let Palmer get acclimated to their team.

Oakland is favored by four points this week, but to say they will win by more than four is one of the safest bets of the day.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Arizona Cardinals—While I give credit to the Arizona Cardinals offense for being much improved over last season, their defense is terrible and a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers is not what the Cardinals wanted.

I understand that the Steelers defense just doesn’t have that aura they used to, but to favor Pittsburgh by only 3.5 points this week is a huge slap in the face.

Not only do I think the Steelers cover the spread, I think they will make an example of Arizona and run the score up to show the NFL they deserve respect.

Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans—While the loss of Mario Williams is a devastating blow to the Houston Texans, their defense is far better than it was last year and they will stifle the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

Tennessee has vastly improved their pass game, but the lack of receivers and lack of production from Chris Johnson will have the Titans in for a long day of frustrations.

The key for the Houston Texans will be getting the run game going, and since the Titans can’t stop Arian Foster, the Texans will easily beat the three point favorite Tennessee Titans outright.
