NFL Picks Week 7: Indianapolis Colts and More Underdogs Certain to Shock

The NFL regular season has been nothing short of amazing and with Week 7 on the way, there will once again be some fantastic games. 

These are matchups that nobody expects to be good, but they will not disappoint. So far this season we've had big surprises, awesome comebacks and big blow out wins. 

If you're looking to boost that bank roll, here are three underdogs certain to shock.

Indianapolis Colts +14 

The Colts hit the road to take on the New Orleans Saints, who won't have head coach Sean Payton on the sidelines. This would have been an outstanding matchup if Peyton Manning were still healthy, but now it will be a big and easy victory for the Saints. 

However, don't count the Colts out just yet. To have a shot in this game, Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney will have to frustrate Drew Brees all night long. 

Curtis Painter has shown signs of brilliance at times and then he does something that makes us remember why he was set to be Manning's backup for many years. 

The Saints will win this game, but take the Colts and the points because their defense will keep them competitive and Painter will connect on the deep ball with Reggie Wayne or Pierre Garcon. 

Prediction: Saints 27, Colts 17

St. Louis Rams +13 

The Rams have had arguably the toughest schedule to start the season, which is why they have yet to win a game. Now they must hit the road to take on the Dallas Cowboys, who happen to be coming off an emotional loss. 

All St. Louis has to do is create some turnovers and they can hang around in this game. That spread is too large for my liking and I honestly would not be surprised if the Rams beat the Cowboys straight up.

That would certainly create chaos in Dallas. Although the Cowboys should win this game with their No. 1 rushing defense, I still think the Rams hang in there to prevent the Cowboys from covering.

Prediction: Cowboys 30, Rams 21

Kansas City Chiefs +5 1/2 

The Chiefs also must hit the road where they will take on their division rival in the Oakland Raiders. Kansas City is fresh off a bye and it wouldn't surprise me in the least bit if they win this game outright. 

Oakland has a quarterback dilemma and while I think they start Carson Palmer, he'll be a bit rusty. No doubt the Raiders will rely on Darren McFadden and he shouldn't disappoint.

However, the Chiefs have been preparing for McFadden for two weeks now and they'll be ready to prevent him from having a monster-like day. McFadden will still carry the Raiders on Sunday, but he can't do it all.

In the end, the Raiders win a close game at home, but Matt Cassel and Dwayne Bowe are in a grove, which means the Chiefs have a great shot to win.

Prediction: Raiders 23, Chiefs 20
