We're looking at the best Week 7 bets to make — before Week 6 action has even started and we have our sights set on a divisional showdown total as a Week 7 look-ahead line to target.
Ohhhh Week 7. A schedule that only a bettor can love, with three primetime games that currently look like dreadful duds, a number of AFC-NFC clashes that are around a touchdown on the look-ahead spread, and then matchups like the Texans/Raiders and Packers/Commanders.
Not exactly exhilarating stuff... so why are we looking past the yet-to-be-played Week 6 to peer into the odds crystal ball?
Because there are a couple of matchups worth the words on this page — and one with NFL odds we should take note of asap.
First, we have a Super Bowl 54 rematch between the Chiefs and the 49ers, which seems pretty reasonably priced right now. There's also an AFC North tilt between the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens that might have some betting value right now (and will provide plenty of heartaches later).
There are two reasons why we're looking at playing the Over for this divisional matchup right now.
First, this total seems off compared to some of the other line movements Baltimore has seen around its totals this season.
The Ravens saw their total close as low as 45.5 last week for a primetime divisional matchup with the Bengals — a much better defensive team than Cleveland. That comes a week after the Ravens closed at around 50.5 against the Bills but in a rainy, wet afternoon contest. What's more of interest is:
New England and New York — both at the time of those games and, well, now — were perceived as nowhere as efficient offensively as the Browns are entering Week 6. Plus, both defenses are considered much better than the current Cleveland unit, which is a low bar because...
Point 2: the Browns (and Ravens) defenses are really not good.
Each of Baltimore's last two games went Under. Still, the Cincinnati game was more a result of both quarterbacks having arguably their worst games of the season (more than 20% of their throws were graded as "bad") and Lamar Jackson missing two consecutive wide-open TD passes, including this absolute gimme:
As for the Bills game, weather again suppressed passing and offense, plus the Bills have one of the league's elite defenses, so things should look up for the overall offensive prospects in Week 7.
Cleveland started the season with fourth-quarter defensive meltdowns against Baker Mayfield and those same Flacco-led Jets. Then it got a respite in the Steelers and Mitchell Trubisky (an offense so bad Pittsburgh has since gone to rookie Kenny Pickett) before choosing death by running attack the previous two weeks, giving up 202 rushing yards to the Falcons in Week 4 and allowing the Chargers — who were last in the NFL with 258 rushing yards through four games — to run for a whopping 238 in Week 5.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
