NFL Picks: Week 7 Predictions from Odds Shark Super Computer | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

The Cleveland Browns will try to do something in Week 7 they have never done before, while Peyton Manning will attempt to make history against a team that has been historically very tough on him.

If the Odds Shark NFL prediction computer is accurate, the Browns will cover the biggest road spread in franchise history, and the San Francisco 49ers will thwart Manning’s attempt at breaking the all-time passing touchdown mark.

The computer boasts a winning record against the spread (ATS) in all six weeks so far, although it has been subpar in its Westgate SuperContest selections (where handicappers choose five games each week in a $2 million prize pool).

Week 7 started with a thud as the computer picked the New England Patriots to cover a double-digit spread against the New York Jets. They were lucky to escape with a 27-25 win, dropping the Pats to 4-13 ATS in 17 recent games when laying 10 points or more.

Cleveland is favored by 5.5 points, according to most sportsbooks monitored by Bleacher Report lines partner Odds Shark. The computer has the Browns winning, 22-11. This is just the 10th time in Browns history (current franchise) that they have been a road favorite, and they never closed higher than 3.5 points, per the Odds Shark NFL database.

The Broncos will eke out a 30-26 win over the 49ers, if the computer is correct, which would be a San Francisco cover and would probably mean that Manning would not have thrown for three touchdowns to break Brett Favre’s record of 508.

Manning has thrown just five TDs in four career games against the Niners, and his quarterback rating against them is less than 90, so history suggests he will have a tough time in Week 7.

At least one sportsbook, however, believes Manning will throw for at least three, adding a Week 7 prop at a minus-180 payout.
