8: The Punt Return: Betting on the NFL - Don't blame Matt Ryan, Russ MVP, and Jalen RAMSey to the Rescue?

Published: Oct. 17, 2019, 8:33 a.m.

The boys are back for Week 7 of the NFL after another good week on the punt.

The LOCK OF THE WEEK saluted for the third straight week, while Nick's hot streak continued on another week. The boys (Nick & Josh) are now a collective 23-13 on best bets, while James' future book is starting to flex after another MVP performance from Russell Wilson.

Josh says it's all over in Atlanta, but makes the point that this cannot be blamed on QB Matt Ryan, who, despite the franchise's terrible record, is having another fantastic year by the numbers.

"Friends don't let friends blame Matt Ryan," he says.

Nick and James are raving about Seattle and where this team can go in season 2019-20, despite not having any depth in their receiving corps and featuring the worst Seahawks defense in years. Which leads us to what Nick calls his "Game of the Week."

Seattle host Baltimore in a clash of Top 5 DVOA offenses, where all the lads feel should set up well again for Russell Wilson. The Saints head to Chicago in the game that features Week 7's LOCK OF THE WEEK, where all 3 agree on a single play.

As Darryl Data catches a dose of European sunshine, Nick takes over the Stats Insider model, which is tracking at 15-10 on NFL lines, 10-4 on NFL lines and an incredible 38-27 and 51-37 on College Football spreads and totals.
