2015 NFL Week 7 Betting Tips
The NFL season is quickly reaching the halfway point as we offer up our latest NFL betting tips each match is increasing in importance as teams are battling to reach the top of their conference. There are still five undefeated teams remaining as the Falcons suffered their first loss last weekend. You can find our NFL Week 7 betting tips below!
Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers (Friday 11.25am AEST)
The Seahawks are already showing danger signs this season as their defence has not been as strong as it has been in recent years whilst their offence has struggled on the back of this. In their four losses this season they have blown fourth quarter leads and they could have easily lost to the Lions if it wasn’t for a remarkable effort from Cam Chancellor to force a fumble just inches from Calvin Johnson scoring a touchdown. A ruling also went their way, which helped them secure the victory.
However, they are coming up against the 49ers and they have shown improvement in their last two matches but they have been dealt a massive blow with running back Carlos Hyde ruled out through injury and their first back up Reggie Bush is also sidelined. This will leave former NRL star Jarryd Hayne getting increased game time which will put added pressure on him to hold onto the ball and also locate the blitz and block for quarterback Colin Kaepernick. They will also be forced to rely on their passing game which could turn into a disaster if Kaepernick has an off day. The Seahawks will be too strong for the 49ers and come away with a narrow victory.

New York Jets at New England Patriots (Monday 4am AEST)
The Jets have been big improvers this season as they have only suffered the one loss. Their defence has been the biggest improvement for them and they are only allowing on average 270 yards per match and have constantly been able to force turnovers. That is paired with the offensive beasts of Brandon Marshall at wide receiver and Chris Ivory at running back. Meanwhile the Patriots have continued with business as usual since despite claiming the Superbowl last season. They are undefeated in their opening five matches and it is largely due to Tom Brady playing at an MVP level with 14 touchdown passes and only one interception. It will be hard to beat the Patriots but the line is too favourable towards the defending champions.

Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants (Monday 7.25am AEST)
The Giants started their match against the Eagles in dominant fashion and marched down the field to score a touch down before forcing the Eagles to a three and out. That was as good as it got for them though as the Eagles swept them off the field for the remainder of the match. It was the turnovers that hurt them the most as all three of their turnovers lead directly to points for the opposition. The Cowboys are still without key players and have been struggling to run the ball despite their dominant offensive line. This has been putting a lot of pressure on the shoulders of back up quarterback Brandon Weeden and he hasn’t been able to over come this. If the Giants hold onto the ball they should win this convincingly.

Philadelphia Eagles vs Carolina Panthers (Monday 11.30am AEST)
The Eagles have started to gather a bit of momentum after winning back-to-back matches against two quality sides. They head to Carolina to take on the Panthers who are undefeated to start the season and picked up their most convincing win of the season against the Seahawks in Seattle. Quarterback Cam Newton came up huge in the fourth quarter as he led his side to victory.
The Eagles need to work on converting when they are in the red zone as on four occasions this season Sam Bradford has thrown a pick when attempting to find a receiver in the end zone. This stat is far too high over four games and is leading to missed opportunities. Their running game is still out of sorts as Demarco Murray hasn’t quite adjusted to the new offence. I will be going with the home side in this one as the Panthers will continue their undefeated run.
