Top Week 7 NFL picks
After diving into all 14 games from the NFL Week 7 schedule, Cohen recommends backing the Falcons (+2.5, 49.5) to upset the 49ers at the best betting apps, while the Over also hits. San Fran is coming off a harder-than-expected Monday win over Washington, giving the Falcons an extra day of rest, which shouldn't be overlooked. Atlanta's won four straight games with a rest advantage, while San Fran is 5-6 with less rest than its opponent since 2024, as opposed to 20-11 when not at a disadvantage. Also, the Falcons are 7-1 over their last eight regular season home games versus the 49ers, including four straight victories.
"The Week 8 bye can't come soon enough for San Francisco, who despite being undefeated, is dealing with a rash of injuries especially at wide receiver. On a short week, going across the country, and against a team who is trying to avoid a home loss for the third consecutive week, I have a sneaky feeling about this one. The Falcons' offensive weapons, Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts show out in Week 7. San Francisco's unbeaten start comes to an end."
