2023 Week Seven Game Predictions To Win National Football League #NFLWeekSeven #NFLWeek7
(NFL Logo from Sportslogos.net)
By: Evan Troxel
Last week, my predictions resulted in eight wins and seven losses. I believe my predictions throughout the entire regular season have been generally very consistent. It seems like about every week so far in the regular season I am one or two games above .500 if I am not right at .500 for the week.
This is Week Seven and I still don't think I have won ten games in a week yet. I probably would have done that by now if I had just went with my gut more instead of taking stupid upset predictions that didn't happen (or had a small chance of actually happening). This week is going to be hard to get 10 wins as there are six teams on a bye week which means there are only 13 NFL games this week.
As with every single week of the National Football League season, I reserve the right to change my predictions before game time. I also can change my predictions after game time only if I don't have access to the Internet at that moment when I want to actually change my prediction(s) before game time.
I also plan to rank NFL teams from now on for the rest of the regular season based on points scored, points allowed and point differential. I then rank each team in all three categories and then combine those numbers I get into one number and then rank each NFL team.
Before I tell you the National Football League teams I am predicting to win in Week Seven of the 2023-24 regular season, I would like to categorize the teams by how I think they will do or could do this week.
I am going to provide six different categories, three for winning and three for losing.
Those categories are: For winning they are: A lock to win, a likely win, or they are probably going to win. For losing they are: probably going to lose, a likely loss, or a lock to lose.
A lock to win: Jacksonville Jaguars, Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, Los Angeles Rams, Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles,
A likely win: Cleveland Browns, Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers
Probably going to win (but it will be a close game): New York Giants, Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers
Probably going to lose (but it will be a close game): New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders (Jimmy Garoppolo isn't playing), Indianapolis Colts, Washington Commanders, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions, Denver Broncos
A likely loss: New England Patriots, Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Chargers, Minnesota Vikings
A lock to lose: Pittsburgh Steelers, Miami Dolphins
Here are the games which, generally speaking, I think could go either way despite me saying I think some teams are a lock to win (or lose):
Jacksonville Jaguars at New Orleans Saints
Las Vegas Raiders at Chicago Bears
Cleveland Browns at Indianapolis Colts
Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots
Washington Commanders at New York Giants
Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks
Other than the the Detroit Lions at Baltimore Ravens, Green Bay Packers at Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins at Philadelphia Eagles games, I think legitimately either team could win any of the remaining games that I didn't mention. So you may see a lot of upsets in NFL regular season Week 7. I really think Kansas City is going to lose at Denver in Week 8. I really believe that!
Teams on Bye Week this week: #30 Carolina Panthers, #25 Cincinnati Bengals, #4 Dallas Cowboys, #8 Houston Texans, #19 New York Jets, #21 Tennessee Titans
Predictions in the color lime green mean I picked them to win on Thursday, October 19th to win.
So here are my official predictions to win for National Football League Regular Season Week Seven (7). I still have yet to decide on basically every single game on Sunday, October 22nd, 2023:
Thursday Night Football, 8:15 p.m. Eastern Time on Prime Video
Prediction to win: Jacksonville Jaguars
Prediction to lose: New Orleans Saints
Sunday games
1 p.m. Eastern Time games:
Predictions to win: Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills, New York Giants, Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens
Predictions to lose: Las Vegas Raiders, Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots, Washington Commanders, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions
4:05/4:25 p.m. Eastern Time games:
Predictions to win: Los Angeles Rams, Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs
Predictions to lose: Pittsburgh Steelers, Arizona Cardinals, Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Chargers
Sunday Night Football, 8:20 p.m. Eastern Time on NBC
Prediction to win: Philadelphia Eagles
Prediction to lose: Miami Dolphins
Monday Night Football, 8:15 p.m. Eastern Time on ABC/ESPN
Prediction to win: San Francisco 49ers
Prediction to lose: Minnesota Vikings
My prediction on my predictions (written on Sunday, October 22nd, 2023): I expect to finish with 6 to 8 wins after Week 7 is completed. I honestly expect to have at least four or five wins total this Week, but honestly, I expect to do better than that when there are only 13 games total being played this week! There are probably going to be three to five or six upsets this week and the only problem is, did I pick the correct games for potential upsets or not?
As I am typing this on Sunday, if I have to pick only one game for each time slot, I feel most nervous about the Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots game and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Los Angeles Rams game.
I have a feeling the Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts and/or New England Patriots will/might win today.
I don't care that much about the Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers game because win or lose, I won't be sweating a ton of bullets about it like any other game in Week 7.
I think it is silly and laughable to expect the Pittsburgh Steelers to defeat the Los Angeles Rams today especially after the Steelers beat the Ravens in a game they should have absolutely lost recently!
The Green Bay Packers at Denver Broncos game makes me nervous because Denver only allowed six points to the Kansas City Chiefs in the entire second half! I just see Denver finding a way to lose this game and I'm sure the offense will look good/OK today and better than in Week 6. This game honestly feels like Denver may win, but I don't think it is going to happen! I think the Broncos are beating the Chiefs next week in stunning fashion!
I think the hype surrounding the Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs as a potential upset game is fake. This talk that the Chargers are actually going to beat the Chiefs is silly after what we saw on Monday Night last week. I do not see this game being an upset because of what I just explained about the Denver Broncos. I expect the Chiefs to be caught by surprise next week, not this week!
