Week 7 Halftime Picks

MINNESOTA AT TAMPA BAY
1ST HALF LINE: TAMPA BAY -1.5, O/U 19.5

Minnesota has scored more than twice the number of points during the first half as Tampa has so far. Not really a surprise. What might be surprising is that the Vikings have actually allowed fewer points than Tampa during the first half. Vikings problem is falling apart in the fourth quarter. I'll take the points.

PICK: 1st Half Minnesota +1.5 (1x)

CINCINNATI AT DETROIT
1ST HALF LINE: DETROIT -1.0, O/U 20.0

While I admit neither team has a solid defensive unit right now, these two teams can't seem to score. The Bengals have scored a dismal 20 points during their six first halves so far. the Lions have scored 26 in five. Only one of six Bengals games have hit 20 at halftime, and that was 20 points in week one.

PICK: 1st Half Under 20.0 (2x)

SAN FRANCISCO AT CHICAGO
1ST HALF LINE: CHICAGO -1.0, O/U 20.0

No Bears game has hit 20 points at halftime so far. The Bears defense has given up 12 first half points so far this season. San Francisco is averaging just under 10 points at halftime.

PICK: 1st Half Under 20.0 (1x)

NEW YORK GIANTS AT WASHINGTON
1ST HALF LINE: NEW YORK -4.0, O/U 17.0

Will Washington score in the first half? My guess is no. Giants defense has been tough, and their offense has been conservative. Redskins aren't even averaging a field goal at halftime this year. Giants haven't hit ten points at halftime in their last three.

PICK: 1st Half Under 17.0 (1x)

I might be back with more. There are a couple of games that are a half point off of where I want them. Some books don't have their halftimes posted yet either.

Good luck.

Adding a first quarter pick tonight.

Kansas City +0.5 (+100) (1x)

I don't have much of a write up. I like KC's chances of tying or winning the first quarter. Both teams have been slow starters so far this year.

I might double up on it if the bet's still live after the coin flip and KC starts off with the pigskin.

Good luck.

Adding another halftime pick:

NEW ORLEANS AT ST LOUIS
1ST HALF LINE: ST LOUIS -7.0, O/U 24.5

I was holding out waiting to see 24.5 for the total. New Orleans hasn't had a game hit 24 at halftime yet. The Rams have topped it only half of the time. Plus, 80% of the games so far have been under 24.5. Yes, the Rams can score, but the Saints defense is no pushover. See Nolan's writeup on the game for more on the under.

PICK: 1st Half Under 24.5 (2x)

Good luck.
