NFL Week 7 Early Odds, Picks & Predictions: Falcons vs. Bengals (2022)
Six underdogs won outright in Week 6, including shocking victories by the Jets over the Packers and the Steelers over the Buccaneers. Additionally, the Falcons moved to a perfect 6-0 against the spread (ATS) this season.
Week 7 features just four opening spreads where a team is favored by a field goal or less, signaling a more lopsided upcoming slate. Let’s take a look at my predictions for Falcons vs. Bengals.

NFL Week 7 Early Odds, Picks & Predictions: Falcons vs. Bengals
Atlanta Falcons at Cincinnati Bengals
The Falcons are a perfect 6-0 against the spread this season, in part because they have been underdogs in every single game they’ve played in. That won’t change this weekend when they go to Cincinnati as less-than-touchdown underdogs.
With this line opening under the key number, it seems Oddsmakers want bettors to take the Bengals. But with the public knowledge of how great the Falcons are against the spread, it’s likely this number will actually drop in their favor as kickoff gets closer. There are no key numbers in play in that direction, so whether this ends at 4.5 or 5, doesn’t make much of a difference.
- Current Line: Bengals -6
- Predicted Final Line: Bengals -5
