NFL Week 7 has arrived and we’ve got the most up to date props on the market.
The landscape of the season has changed, with the last undefeated team (Kansas City Chiefs) dropping their first game of 2017 on Sunday in Week 6, only to kick off Week 7 against the lagging Raiders. All eyes will also be on the Super Bowl LI rematch as the Falcons look for redemption against the Patriots Sunday night in Foxborough. Interest has also peaked for the 0-6 dogs of the season, with bettors looking to capitalize on the probabilities of the Cleveland Browns (+6.5 against the Titans) and the 49ers (+6 against the Cowboys) squeaking out their first victories.
The betting schedule is certainly interesting enough as is but we’ve got industry-leading props to take it up a notch. Be sure to sign-up for actionable access to the odds laid out below, this week, and every week to follow through the NFL season.
The Chiefs lost their first game on Sunday and QB Alex Smith is owning it. MVP talk quickly subsides in the NFL (unless your Tom Brady) after just one or two mishaps and Smith will take it personal, looking to throw for big numbers against the Raiders. He’ll come out guns blazing early on.
As noted above, Alex Smith is on the hunt for redemption after dropping the Chiefs undefeated streak, and will be aiming for big numbers in Oakland. Perhaps this should have been listed at 300+ yards?
Will Alex Smith Throw 2 or More Touchdown Passes?
Yes (-155) / No (+125)
For the last two games in front of the home crowd, Del Rio has pleaded with his Raiders defense to make big plays in the fourth quarter, and in each instance they failed him miserably. With Alex Smith looking to throw early and often, and with Oakland defensive falling apart in the final act, this prop bet is all but predictable. Bet accordingly.
Will Kareem Hunt Record Over 100 Rushing Yards?
Yes (+140) / No (-170)
Overshadowed (somewhat) by the Week 6 loss, the Chiefs rookie running back delivered a new NFL benchmark. Kareem Hunt broke 100 yards again, becoming the first player in NFL history to tally 100+ yards from scrimmage in his first six career games. Everyone will be watching close to see if he can extend this streak. With Raiders defense bordering on abysmal, this is one streak that the Chiefs (courtesy of Hunt) will likely extend through Week 7.
Will Kareem Hunt Record a Touchdown in 1st or 2nd Quarter?
Yes (+150) / No (-180)
While a Kareem Hunt TD in Week 7 is likely, Oakland defense tends to perform better in the 1st half (they fall apart soon after). That’s not to say that they can stop Hunt’s hunt for an early end zone visit, but it is not quite a foregone conclusion.
Will Tyreek Hill Record 5 or More Receptions (Must Start)?
Yes (-115) / No (-115)
Note the “must start” bettors. The wide receiver was evaluated for a concussion this week but was instead found to have sustained a neck injury during his Week 6 play against the Steelers. He could play Thursday, but even if he does start, the neck strain (minor or otherwise) may certainly hurt this chances for quick turnaround catches.
Will Travis Kelce Record More than 75 Receiving Yards?
Yes (+180) / No (-240)
Coming off of his own concussion protocol check-up in the week prior to the game against the Steelers, Travis Kelce caught four of seven targets for just 37 yards in a loss to the Pittsburgh. However, Kielce remains tied for the Chiefs’ lead in targets which indicates he is still a major player in their offensive game plan. Kielce is likely to fare much better against Oakland, who allowed 90 yards to TE Hunter Henry in Week 6.
Will Derek Carr Pass for Over 250 Yards?
Yes (-140) / No (+110)
Carr refuses to go deep here in 2017. In the Raiders Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, the QB only attempted two passes of at least 20 yards downfield, and neither was completed. Through the five games in which he has played this season (sat out with an injury against the Baltimore Ravens) Carr’s three completions on 10 attempts have earned the once promising quarterback new NFL lows among starting QBs.
Will Derek Carr Throw 2 or More Touchdown Passes?
Yes (-145) / No (+115)
Only if he’s close to the end zone (as per the issue noted above).
Will Marshawn Lynch Record 75 or More Rushing Yards?
Yes (+160) / No (-200)
Will Marshawn Lynch Record a Touchdown?
Yes (+170) / No (-220)
Will Michael Crabtree Record More than 75 Receiving Yards?
