NFL Week 7 Picks: Steelers-Saints and Browns-Titans Bets

And it's going to kick off again early in Paris with the Steelers and Saints. Saints have been there now for the week. Steelers pulled the Rams, were they early this morning, Craig? They eventually got there. But I'm still seeing three. If we're being honest, the Steelers offense, I mean, Aaron Rodgers has figured something out with this rookie Bernard, and they're running the ball well. this is and they're very experienced it's you know saints are young taking a trip like this overseas where experience absolutely plays a factor feel like the steelers can win this game and i think can win it rather easily here on a sunday morning yeah i'm not so sure i may like the other side on this one i i um i kind of feel like pittsburgh is is just gonna play this win loss game all season long they win they lose they win they lose last week close game against tampa they win i you know my confidence level so low in the saints that's sort of the issue here like the saints opened up the season and i thought oh this could be a little bit of a surprise team and let's not forget the saints started off three and oh last season and then went completely in the tank so it feels like new orleans is kind of going through a little bit of what i would usually call an anonymous season i don't know that anybody's paying any attention to them i don't know that a lot of folks that follow the NFL can name five guys on their team like obviously we can with Olave and Chuck and some of the other players they have uh but but a team that's not going to win their division probably not going to be 500 but is it a good spot for them playing uh you know in a neutral site getting points i i kind of think it is a little bit here pittsburgh is the better team of the two but joe can pittsburgh finally win back-to-back games i i don't know like this this should be a game that they can win and should win but i'm not sure they can i'm not sure they do because they just haven't put back-to-back games together, let alone back-to-back quarters. Tampa Bay dominated Pittsburgh in the first half of that game. Pittsburgh came all the way back and won that one. So probably a pass from me here, but I actually may lean Saints in this one. I may lean a close game. All right, you're thinking maybe Saints get it done there. Will it be close with Cleveland and Tennessee? Because that total is gross with no weather issues in Tennessee there, Craig. Yeah, the Titans have been the kings of covering, which is just a lesson for everybody who follows the NFL this season. The Titans may be 11-5 or 11-6 against the spread of the NFL this season. That's how great the Titans are at covering. Cam Ward may be having a bad year, but the second that they're getting 10 points, he's leading that team right down to the end. And then, of course, they had the outright win. They got the GM of the Colts fired. So, look, I think that Tennessee's not good, but Cleveland right now to me is probably the most overrated team in the NFL I I cannot believe they are where they are and I gotta give them credit for it and a reminder that Watson for all of his warts and everything that's happened with him once upon a time was one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL he's probably half the guy that he used to be but where Cleveland is winning games is it feels like we have two teams in the NFL that are doing it on defense we have Cleveland in the AFC and we have Minnesota in the NFC i don't think any of us believe that either of these two teams are going very far but it could lead to a lot of regular season wins so i had a Tennessee win last week rare to block a punt and win you never see that in the NFL especially on special teams i don't expect Tennessee to win this game i do think Cleveland wins but covering yes always in play with Titans it's going to be disgusting here do we it feels like too low a number given the fact that defenses can score Craig right and and short fields it's not going to take a lot to get 38 points in this game is it well Salah's done a really good job with the D I mean if you think about why the Titans covering all these spreads is because their defense has been holding it's the offense that hasn't got it done the thing that's perplexing to me is is what has happened to Cam Ward I mean Cam Ward was so good in college in Miami he was just as good as Mensah or any of these other guys that they've had, better than Beck even, I would say, last year, and he just hasn't shown anything, and unfortunately, the Titans just keep overturning coaches and changing coordinators, Joe, like, I mean, honestly, can anybody even name who the Titans coach was last season before Salah? I don't even remember who that guy was. Did he spend two years with the Titans? I don't even remember his name. You know, it's very much in Palahans, wasn't it? Yeah, and then he got fired, if you say so, then yeah no, terrible, the points tell you with the total everything you need to know about that game there so yeah, Tennessee, the scary part is somebody's either gonna have five wins or two wins and i don't know which one scares me more
