Midseason momentum?

It was a second straight 2-1 showing here a week ago in underdog corner as the Denver Broncos won outright as 9.5-point dogs against the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles rallied late to cover a touchdown-plus point spread against the visiting Baltimore Ravens. The lone swing and miss was an ugly one Monday night as the charitable Dallas Cowboys gave the ball away four times in a 38-10 beatdown at the hands of the Arizona Cardinals, who covered the 2.5-point spread by 25.5.

We’ll need a few more weeks like Week 6, though, as our season record is still only 6-12.

NFL underdog predictions: Week 7

New York Giants +4.5 (-110) at Philadelphia Eagles: Thursday Night Football

The NFC Least is the league’s running joke this season with the division’s four teams a combined 5-18-1 straight up and 8-16 against the spread.

QB Carson Wentz and the Eagles have played better of late, but the injuries continue to mount, especially on the offensive line and skill positions. TE Zach Ertz is out Thursday night and leading rusher Miles Sanders is likely to join him.

Philly covered the spread in two of its last three after a 0-3 ATS start, but both of those have come as a TD-plus underdog. As a favorite, the Eagles haven’t fared quite as well, posting a 10-16 ATS mark since 2018, including a 0-3 record so far this season.

The Giants, meanwhile, have an impressive 7-2 record as road underdogs since the start of last season, including a 3-0 mark this year as they’ve battled to the wire in road losses to the Chicago Bears, Los Angeles Rams and Dallas Cowboys.

Look for a similar outcome Thursday as the GIANTS +4.5 (-110) cover in a tight one in Philly.

Carolina Panthers +7.5 (-115) at New Orleans Saints

QB Teddy Bridgewater is back in the Big Easy after guiding the Saints to five wins in five starts a season ago while starter Drew Brees was out with a thumb injury.

Now, he’s at the helm of the Panthers offense, and he boasts a 25-15 career record as a starter. His teams have been even better ATS, covering at an impressive 75% clip (30-10).

Brees and the Saints are 3-2 straight up and 2-3 ATS, and should get stud WR Michael Thomas back from injury, but there are defensive questions with New Orleans surrendering an average of 30 points per game.

That’s a recipe for a Sunday NFC South shootout and another cover for Teddy B and the PANTHERS +7.5 (-115).

Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals +3.5 (-110)

Out here in the NFC West, we find the polar opposite of the NFC East with the four teams all .500 or better and sporting combined 16-7 SU and 14-9 ATS records.

MVP frontrunner QB Russell Wilson and the 5-0 Seahawks sit atop the division as one of the league’s three unbeaten teams, and they are 4-1 ATS.

Arizona (4-2) certainly won’t find Wilson and Co. to be as charitable as the Cowboys, but a Seattle defense surrendering 27.0 points and 471.2 yards per outing has allowed the opposition to keep things close.

Since coach Kliff Kingsbury and QB Kyler Murray took the reins last season, the Cards are 9-2-3 ATS as underdogs of a field goal or more and don’t be shocked if they win this one outright. Ride ARIZONA +3.5 (-110) and the points.
