After six weeks, this season is shaping up to be pretty, pretty good. We crushed the board last week despite a small scare in our Under 47 wager on the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars game, finishing the week at +10 units.

Let's try to beat up on the books again in our Week 7 NFL picks (odds via Unibet, 888Sport).

Bengals vs. Ravens Picks

Date/Time: Sunday, October 24, 1 p.m. ETTV: CBSLocation: M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, MD

The Baltimore Ravens are coming off of a huge 34-6 win over the Los Angeles Chargers last week and it has to be one of the most dominating performances we’ve seen this season from any team over another very good team. However, there's often a noticeable letdown after a convincing victory like that and it wouldn’t surprise me one iota if this is the case on Sunday.

Before we crown the Ravens as the next Super Bowl champs, let’s not forget that they barely snuck past the Detroit Lions and had to go to overtime to beat the Indianapolis Colts. The Bengals are a very good team this year and finally have the defensive chops to slow the Ravens’ attack down.

Lastly, Joe Burrow should do well against a banged-up Baltimore secondary. If the Ravens' game plan is to blitz, he'll welcome it as one of the best passers in the league when facing the kitchen sink.

Eagles vs. Raiders Picks

Date/Time: Sunday, October 24, 4:05 p.m. ETTV: FOXLocation: Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, NV

The war will be won in the trenches and the Philadelphia Eagles will emerge with the victory. The Las Vegas Raiders' offensive line will wilt when faced with the Eagles’ pass rush which will force Derek Carr to release quickly to find his targets. Expect him to be looking at his talented tight end, Darren Waller, all afternoon. The Eagles' defense will ultimately adjust, which could open up space for Josh Jacobs as the linebackers peel back to double the big man.

Jalen Hurts should have a good game and will have plenty of room to roam if he can’t find a target. Fortunately, he is speedy and can move the chains by running the rock. I suspect that the Eagles will be able to dink and dunk against a porous Raiders defense and keep this one close. Let’s grab the field goal head start and cash a ticket!

NFL pick: Eagles +3.5 (-115) for 3 units at 888Sport

Bears vs. Buccaneers Picks

Date/Time: Sunday, October 24, 4:25 p.m. ETTV: FOXLocation: Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, FL

Most sportsbooks are listing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as 12.5-point home favorites as Wednesday afternoon. And that's just too many points as far as I’m concerned. Maybe I’m trying too hard to be a sharp after being such a square over the last few weeks by betting big favorites, but the Chicago Bears getting this many points is good value.

Justin Fields should find his targets as the Bucs' secondary is decimated. He will also have Cole Kmet available for the short stuff which is why the Bears will keep this one within the margins. Of course, if Tom Terrific goes off then Tampa could run away with this one but they could very well be looking ahead to a divisional tilt with the New Orleans Saints next week. So let’s bet the Bears and watch them hang close enough with this generous head start.

NFL pick: Bears +12.5 (-110) for 1 unit at 888Sport

Panthers vs. Giants Picks

Date/Time: Sunday, October 24, 1 p.m. ETTV: FOXLocation: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ

The Woodman's Corner: Woodman (4-2, +1.90 units) got off the dog trail and decided he would masquerade as Chalky von Chalkowitz by laying the lumber on the road with the Buffalo Bills over the Tennessee Titans last week. Turns out, the Bills went home singing the blues after a visit to the Music City when they fell 34-31 as 5.5-point road chalk.

It always feels a little dirty when the Woodman picks a favorite as his passion for pups is so well documented at this address. But get ready to take a shower because the dirty boy is back again with another favorite this week and this time it is the Carolina Panthers -3 on the road against the New York Giants. This game is a pass for me but for Woodman’s disciples, his choice is always their choice.
