After having to suffer through back-to-back weeks with just a single game, fans can breathe easier with another Monday Night Football doubleheader on the Week 7 NFL schedule. We'll see a pair of AFC versus NFC showdowns with Ravens vs. Buccaneers at 8:15 p.m. ET and Chargers vs. Cardinals at 9 p.m. ET. The two-game offering sets up well to create Week 7 NFL parlay picks involving both contests. Baltimore is a 3.5-point favorite over Tampa, per the Week 7 NFL lines, while the Chargers are favored by 2.5 over the Cardinals.
Other interconference matchups include Texans vs. Packers (-3, 48) and Raiders vs. Rams (-7.5, 43.5). In the latter, Vegas just shipped star receiver Davante Adams to New York, while the Rams could welcome back Cooper Kupp (questionable, ankle). Add in that Los Angeles enters off a bye, and many will readily ignore its 1-4 against-the-spread record this season and utilize the Rams in Week 7 NFL bets.

Top Week 7 NFL picks
We can tell you Hartstein loves the Falcons (-3, 51.5) to cover at home versus Seattle. These teams are trending in opposite directions, with Atlanta winning three in a row, while Seattle has lost three consecutive. The Falcons have also protected their home turf in recent matchup history, having won three straight regular-season contests against the Seahawks. Kirk Cousins and co. are hitting their stride as the team has increased its point total in each of the last three games, while the Atlanta run game had a breakout performance on Sunday as Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier combined for 200 rushing yards and three touchdowns.
Seattle's defense started off strongly, giving up just 14.3 through its first three games, but the Hawks have since allowed 35.7 over their last three. They are coming off their first contest without a sack over their last nine games, and Hartstein notes that the Seahawks defense has not been forcing turnovers as of late. "Seattle has no interceptions since Week 1 (Bo Nix) and has given up eight touchdown passes the past three games. Now the Seahawks must deal with a balanced Falcons' offense averaging 6.1 yards per play (7th, NFL)," Hartstein told SportsLine. See which other NFL parlay picks to make here.
