NFL Week 7 prop bet picks and predictions

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 8:02 p.m. ET. All games Sunday and ET unless noted.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill SCORES A TOUCHDOWN (-115)

– At Eagles, 8:20 p.m. (NBC)

Hill is a bomb that is always ticking, ready to detonate. He has scored a touchdown in 5 of 6 games this season and is being fed the ball as much as any receiver in the league (42 receptions for 814 yards and 6 TDs).

The Eagles don’t change what they do based on their opponent, so there will be a lot of situations where Hill is single-covered and will get his chance to make big plays. Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa isn’t afraid to take chances deep down the field, and Hill can strike at any moment.

Giants RB Saquon Barkley UNDER 62.5 rushing yards (-115)

– Host Commanders, 1 p.m. (CBS)

Barkley is coming off his best week of the season, rushing 24 times for 93 yards against Buffalo. However, against the Commanders, it’s been a different story.

Washington has held Barkley under this number in 3 of the last 4 games because it commits 8 defenders to the box on every potential run down and makes the Giants try to beat it through the air.

As much as New York is struggling in the pass game, taking away Barkley is the primary defensive focus, and the Commanders have the players up front to get that job done.

49ers QB Brock Purdy UNDER 233.5 passing yards (-115)

– At Vikings, Monday, 8:15 p.m. (ABC/ESPN)

Purdy has topped this number 3 times and been under it 3 times, but against the Vikings, this number seems a little too high.

Last week, the 49ers lost both RB Christian McCaffrey and WR Deebo Samuel to injury, and while it might appear that this would have a bigger impact on the run game, both CMC and Samuel have been key parts of the pass game.

Minnesota struggles against power run teams, and the 49ers could turn to RB Elijah Mitchell for a more classic running style. Mitchell is capable of having 20 carries and, if he does, Purdy will have difficulty topping this number.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp OVER 90.5 receiving yards (-115)

– Host Steelers, 4:05 p.m. (FOX)

In 2021, I was picking Kupp to hit the Over week after week because oddsmakers can only make his number so high. That year, he had 92 or more receiving yards in all but 1 game, and late in the season, his O/U number topped 100 yards.

He’s 2 games back from injured reserve and has days of 118 and 148 yards. It looks like old times between Kupp and QB Matthew Stafford.

The Steelers’ defense is allowing 389 yards a game, and that is something the Rams will try to exploit by throwing to Kupp early and often — making this high number too low to pass up.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III OVER 75.5 rushing yards (-115)

– Host Cardinals, 4:05 p.m. (FOX)

The Cardinals’ defense is getting pushed around both on the ground and through the air. Walker has 2 things going for him and both lend themselves to him surpassing this number.

First is his history — the Seahawks relied heavily on Walker to sweep the Cardinals last season. In 2 games, Walker carried 47 times for 206 yards and 3 touchdowns — posting days of 26-109-2 and 21-97-1. Against this division rival, pounding the ball on the ground equates to success.

Second is his usage — Walker has become one of the most consistent backs in the league based on carries. In his last 4 games, his rushing attempts per game have been 17, 18, 17 and 19. The combination of the expected rushes Walker will get and the strong track record makes this a pick to jump on.
