Here’s the week 7 link to this week's Bet The Close Podcast and some bets I’m (Chris Bilello) making the week!

My best bet on a side is CHI +6. These two teams have played pretty even the past couple of times they matched up...everyone seems down on Foles but the Bears have played tough defenses since he came in. The burden is on the Rams to score (and get margin) because they are the ones laying points. With a decently low total I’ll take those points.
Also playing NYJ +10.5
I haven’t been on the Jets all year so it’s my turn to lose with them, say they stink and vow to never bet them again! I believe they can put a good game together at home with Darnold back and the Bills have the Patriots next...always a good spot to go against a team laying more than a TD.
TB / LV under 51.5
I don’t have a long story...my numbers just point to this.
Player Props
Marquez Calloway over 32.5 rec yards...had 6 targets in the MNF vs LAC...with no Sanders and Thomas I’m betting on him betting on him getting at least that many.
JD McKissic over 27.5 rec yards...he’s been the 3rd down back and more the past few weeks...K.Allen love himself zone check downs.
C.Kirk over rec yards - I haven’t found a line yet...guessing 55-60 yards? Seattle is a good team with a brutally bad defense (in it’s current form). Kirk is awesome and that is being forgotten since she missed a few games.
Jerrick McKinnon over (3.5 rec +118) & over (21.5 rec yards)...I like this if the 49ers are going to go to NE and win...I love it if they are going to go to NE and lose. NE is vulnerable to TE and RB receptions...I like the yardage better but both of these are plays.
James Robinson under 57.5 rushing yards
Good luck. As we say on Bet The Close...win some money or have fun trying!
