The NFL season has started with a bang through the first six weeks. The Cleveland Browns and New York Jets pulled off two of the season's biggest upsets last week, leaving the league without an undefeated team. That means the division races are tight, setting us up for what should be a thrilling 2023 season.
Our experts at USAlegalbetting.com have been studying each team over the first few weeks, and they are sharing their favorite eight bets heading into Week 7.
Below, we will share their picks, along with odds and insights, to help you win big at NFL betting sites this weekend.
Jacksonville has come alive over the last few weeks. We love them to win this game, assuming Trevor Lawrence can play. The quarterback injured his knee last week, but all signs currently point to him being ready to go. Even if he is limited, running back Travis Etienne Jr has been fantastic. The 24-year-old has 623 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns. Add that to the Josh-Allen-led defense, and we see this being an easy win for the Jags. 
The Raiders have played well over the last two weeks. While Jimmy Garoppolo picked up an injury in their win last week, Brian Hoyer was fantastic in relief. We know Hoyer isn’t a long-term solution, but he can start and succeed against a bad Bears team. While their injury report is ugly, they are far more balanced than a Chicago team that may be without their quarterback.
This is a very good Lions team. They are averaging the league's third most yards per game (383.7) and seventh in yards allowed (285.8). We know their offense is dangerous, but their defense is becoming one of the best in the league. While Lamar Jackson is having a good season, he lacks a true top running back and has not done much through the air. It is near impossible to run on this Lions team, and we see that leading to an impressive road win on Sunday.
The Packers’ offense has been a mess, but that will change with Aaron Jones returning to action this weekend. The running back has been dealing with a calf injury since Week 1, only taking five carries since then. Jones is the best player on this offense, serving as an elite rusher and pass catcher. It will give Jordan Love a major weapon, allowing him more room to work. They are going to hammer this Denver team en route to a badly needed win.
The Steelers' offense has looked ugly, but they may be getting a boost this week, with Diontae Johnson practicing in full this week. They have a fantastic pass rush on defense but have struggled against the run. Fortunately for Pittsburgh, the Rams will be without Kyren Williams this weekend. That will help cover their deficiencies against the run and ultimately lead them to their fourth win of the season.
The Charger’s had a heartbreaking loss at home to the Cowboys on Monday night, and things won’t get better this weekend. While the defense is healthy, their secondary is still a problem. It’s a bad problem to have, especially when you are up against Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. On offense, Austin Ekeler is back, but this team is still unable to establish the run. As good as Justin Herbert is, he’s missing a weapon with Mike Williams out for the year. Look for them to struggle to score again this week, leading to a loss.
Miami has one of the greatest offenses in the history of the NFL, and we think they expose the Eagles' secondary in a big way tonight. They lead the league in both passing (498.7) and rushing (181.8) yards per game and have scored almost 40 more points than any other team. They will likely have running back Jeff Wilson Jr back to support Raheem Mostert. They will test the Philly run defense and expose their weak secondary.
The Niners not only picked up their first loss of the season but also lost several key players. That includes Christian McCaffrey, Trent Williams, and Deebo Samuel, who are all questionable for this week. Even if they play, they will be hobbled, which will slow down this offense. Their defense shouldn’t have a problem stopping a Minnesota team without Justin Jefferson. Look for them to help lead the Niners to a low-scoring and likely close win on Monday night.
