Top Week 7 NFL expert predictions

We can tell you one of the top NFL expert picks for Week 7 is that Larry Hartstein is backing the Falcons (-3) at home against the Seattle Seahawks. These are franchises that appear to be heading in different directions, with Atlanta winning three in a row to move to 4-2 and take first place in the NFC South, while Seattle has lost three in a row and dropped to 3-3.

The Falcons have averaged 33.3 points per game and Kirk Cousins has thrown for 972 yards and five touchdowns with two interceptions during that span. Now they'll take on a Seahawks pass defense that has surrendered 773 passing yards during their three-game losing streak after only giving up 397 yards during their three-game winning streak to start the season.

"Seattle has no interceptions since Week 1 (Bo Nix) and has given up eight touchdown passes the past three games. Now the Seahawks must deal with a balanced Falcons' offense averaging 6.1 yards per play (seventh in the NFL)," Hartstein told SportsLine. See which other teams to pick here.
