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.

Jaguars vs Saints

Jacksonville Jaguars Official LogoNew Orleans Saints Official LogoJacksonville 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 Saints' defense is elite, but their offense has a lot of issues. They have scored more than 20 points just once this season and managed just 13 last week against a young Texans squad. They are gaining yards but have been unable to convert them into points. The Jags' defense seems to be getting better each week, and they will make life very hard for Derek Carr and the Saints.

Raiders vs Bears

Las Vegas Raiders Official LogoChicago Bears Official LogoThe 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.

The Bears followed up their impressive win against the Commanders by laying an egg against Minnesota. It was an ugly loss that was made worse by an injury to Justin Fields that could keep him out for some time. The team is already without Khalil Herbert, and backup quarterback Tyson Bagent is bad. That makes this an easy bet, especially considering we would be making it even if Fields was healthy.

Lions vs Ravens

Detroit Lions Official LogoBaltimore Ravens Official LogoThis 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 Ravens' defense is fantastic, but their offense has not impressed. They have sputtered several times this season, often being bailed out by the defense. Aside from Jackson, they don’t have playmakers, which is going to be hard to overcome against a very good Lions defense. Baltimore’s ability to slow the Lions down will keep them in this game, but their lack of offense will cost them a chance to win.

Packers vs Broncos

Green Bay Packers Official LogoDenver Broncos Official LogoThe 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 Broncos have so many problems. They scored eight points in their loss to the Chiefs last week, largely thanks to Russell Wilson being held to passing 95 yards and two interceptions. Javonte Williams has been good in the backfield, but the Broncos will be playing from behind, forcing them to attack through the air. Denver needs a win more than Green Bay, but they don’t have the talent to get one this weekend.

Steelers vs Rams

Pittsburgh Steelers Official LogoLos Angeles Rams Official LogoThe 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.

LA got a badly needed win against the Cardinals last weekend, but they failed to do much on offense in the first half. However, that changed in the second half once they decided to feed running back Kyren Williams. He barely touched the ball until after halftime, when he went off for over 150 yards and a touchdown. While the Rams have a fantastic receiving corps, we expect TJ Watt and the Pittsburgh pass rush to overwhelm Matthew Stafford.

Steelers injury report

  • Diontae Johnson WR - IR-R
  • Anthony McFarland Jr. RB - IR-R

Chargers vs Chiefs

Los Angeles Chargers Official LogoKansas City Chiefs Official LogoThe 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.

Kansas City is 5-1, but they did not look great in their 19-8 win against the Broncos last week. The offense is still finding its way this season, with Travis Kelce dealing with a knee injury and a very thing receiving corps. They will get a boost this weekend, as Mecole Hardman is expected to return. That gives Mahomes another weapon, which will open up the field for this team to work. Add that to their top-ten defense, and you have a recipe for a win on Sunday.

Dolphins vs Eagles

Miami Dolphins Official LogoPhiladelphia Eagles Official LogoMiami 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.

This is a very good Eagles team, but last week’s loss was far from a fluke. They have struggled badly against good passing attacks, neutralizing their league-best run defense. On offense, Jalen Hurts is not the same player he was last season. He already has seven interceptions, which is more than he had in all of 2022, and his passer rating is 17 points lower. There are a lot of playmakers on this offense, but that won’t matter if Hurts continues to struggle.

49ers vs Vikings

San Francisco 49ers Official LogoMinnesota Vikings Official LogoThe 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.

The Vikings may be just one loss away from turning their attention to next season. They barely held on to beat a very bad Bears team that lost Justin Fields during the game. They were already without Khalil Herbert, making this win less than impressive. The biggest concerns came from their offense, which managed just 19 points and looked lost without Jefferson. That will be amplified against a great Niners defense, leading to an ugly loss.
