All in all, Week 7 features three division games and plenty of other exciting matchups like San Francisco against Denver. Here now are all of my Week 7 picks vs. spread -- lines via sportsinsights.com and accurate as of Wednesday Night Lines and subject to change.

New York Jets at New England Patriots (-9.5)

Pick ATS: New England

The Patriots and Jets are on opposite ends of the spectrum. New York has lost five in a row while the Patriots have won two games in a row in convincing fashion. Tom Brady will torch the Jets' depleted secondary and Darrelle Revis will easily take out Eric Decker. New England (-9.5) wins big and covers at home.

Score: New England 35, New York Jets 17

Atlanta Falcons at Baltimore Ravens (-7)

Pick ATS: Baltimore

Coming off of last week's dominant win over Tampa Bay, Baltimore does more of the same to another NFC South opponent in the Atlanta Falcons at home. Baltimore (-7) will win and definitely cover.

Score: Baltimore 31, Atlanta 17

Carolina Panthers at Green Bay Packers (-7)

Pick ATS: Carolina

This season the Packers have been vulnerable against teams with elite defenses and good running games. Carolina has both, and coming off a tie against Cincinnati, the Panthers will cover against Packers. Green Bay still wins at home, but closer than seven points.

Score: Packers 28, Panthers 24

Tennessee Titans at Washington Redskins (-5.5)

Pick ATS: Washington

Without Jake Locker, the Tennessee Titans nearly lost to Jacksonville at home, one week after surrendering a 25-point lead to the Browns. Those are two good enough reasons to take Kirk Cousins and the Redskins (-4.5) to win and cover on their home turf.

Score: Washington 28, Tennessee 17

Seattle Seahawks (-7) at St. Louis Rams

Pick ATS: Seattle

Seattle is coming off an embarrassing home loss and unfortunately the Rams are the next team on the schedule. Even with the game being in St. Louis, Seattle (-7) easily wins on the road and covers.

Score: Seattle 33, St. Louis 21

Cleveland Browns (-5.5) at Jacksonville Jaguars

Pick ATS: Jacksonville

The moment that we seem to get high on Cleveland, they continue to disappoint us. The Browns are a franchise that never handles success well and are due for a stinker this week. Jacksonville will not only beat the spread, but will win outright against the Browns in Jacksonville.

Score: Jacksonville 21, Cleveland 17

Cincinnati Bengals at Indianapolis Colts (-3)

Pick ATS: Indianapolis

Indianapolis is on a 4-0 stretch after losing their first two games and the offense, led by Andrew Luck, is one of the best in the game. Cincinnati is coming off a home tie to Carolina, but they will be no match for Luck in his home dome. Indianapolis (-3) wins and covers this game.

Score: Indianapolis 31, Cincinnati 24

Minnesota Vikings at Buffalo Bills (-5.5)

Pick ATS: Buffalo

Minnesota's offensive line had trouble protecting Teddy Bridgewater against Detroit. Facing Buffalo's front four of Mario Williams, Kyle Williams, Marcell Dareus and Jerry Hughes, more of the same will happen this week. Buffalo (-5.5) will win at home and cover.

Score: Buffalo 24, Minnesota 14

Miami Dolphins at Chicago Bears (-3)

Pick ATS: Miami

Chicago was extremely impressive on the road last week against Atlanta, but for some reason, they have struggled at home this year. The Bears are 0-2 at home compared to 3-1 on the road. Miami is coming off a gut-wrenching loss to Green Bay at home and will bounce back this week. Miami will beat the spread and pull off the upset.

Score: Miami 23, Chicago 20

New Orleans Saints at Detroit Lions (-2.5)

Pick ATS: New Orleans

Coming off their bye week, the New Orleans Saints will make enough plays against a battered Detroit offense to steal a game on the road. New Orleans defeats Detroit (-2.5) this week.

Score: New Orleans 27, Detroit 24

Kansas City Chiefs at San Diego Chargers (-4)

Pick ATS: San Diego

San Diego is on a roll right now and is one of the best teams in the NFL. The Chiefs are a good team, but drop-off significantly when away from Arrowhead Stadium. San Diego (-4) wins this AFC West game and cover at home.

Score: San Diego 30, Kansas City 20

Arizona Cardinals (-3.5) at Oakland Raiders

Pick ATS: Arizona

As good as the Raiders played last week against San Diego, it was their first game with a new coach in Tony Sparano, so there was a jolt in the team. Facing another elite defense this week, Derek Carr will struggle and the Cardinals (-3.5) will easily win and cover on the road,

Score: Arizona 32, Oakland 21

New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys (-6.5)

Pick ATS: New York Giants

The Dallas Cowboys are in the same position as Cleveland -- once they have a little success, they manage to let it get to their heads and collapse. Coming off an embarrassing road loss to Philadelphia, the New York Giants bounce back and beat the spread against Dallas. In fact, New York pulls off the upset.

Score: New York Giants 24, Dallas 20

San Francisco 49ers at Denver Broncos (-7)

Pick ATS: San Francisco

Both San Francisco and Denver are on a roll in the past few weeks with San Francisco winning three in a row and Denver winning two in a row after their bye week. Seven points is too much against a great team. Denver wins, but San Francisco easily covers.

Score: Denver 28, San Francisco 24
