Week 7 of the NFL season is upon us, and hopefully Sunday’s games will prove to be more interesting than last night’s Broncos-Saints matchup. Hey, at least there was some terrific postseason baseball to watch as well.

If there’s one game the public is loading up on this week, it’s the Washington Commanders (-8) against the Carolina Panthers. A whopping 87% of bets (and 77% of the total dollars wagered) at DraftKings are on the Commanders. The last time the Commanders were that big a favorite was Week 6 of 2017 season when they were 12-point favorites against a C.J. Beathard-led 49ers team and won 26-24.

Below, I’ve compiled 25 early Week 7 NFL best bets from respected handicappers for you to peruse, along with public betting info from DraftKings and BetMGM. I’ll have much more information in my usual Sunday morning NFL post.

Have a great Friday!
