Prisco’s NFL Week 7 picks: Lions’ Jared Goff keeps it close vs. former team; Broncos, Giants pull upsets

I didn’t quite get the results I wanted picking games last week, but it was close.

I went 9-5 both straight up and against the spread, which is a good week in those two areas. But I flopped with my Best Bets on the Pick-Six Podcast, going 2-4 against the spread. The good news is that I still beat host Will Brinson, who went a sizzling 0-6.

For the season, I am 49-42-3 ATS, 57-37 straight up and 18-20 with my Best Bets. It’s time to pick it up with the Best Bets this week after two poor showings.

As for the others, give me another 9-5 ATS week and I will be more than happy about it.

The Browns are so banged up as they head into this game on a short week, which makes it tough to pick this one. They could be without quarterback Baker Mayfield, although it looks like he is leaning toward playing. They are also down a bunch of other players. The Broncos haven’t played as well as expected on defense, but I think in prime time they show up here. It’s close, with Denver pulling off a small upset.

Pick: Broncos 24, Browns 23
