STLCards' NFL Field Stretcher: Week 7

Week 7
Welcome back to the NFL Field Stretcher for Week #7! This is shaping up to be a somewhat difficult week when it comes to roster building. Bye weeks are rolling along in full force, we have an early kickoff in London that removes another game from the main slate, and injuries continue to play a bigger role. As always, we will need to be mindful of updates as we get closer to Sunday lineup lock.
Grab your favorite beverage, and let’s get down to business!

A few notes on the above:
1) The two highest total games are the prime time matchups. No game on the main slate has a total above 53 points, so things are a little more challenging when it comes to clear-cut game stacks this week.
2) That NO/BAL total is sneaky high at 49 points, especially since the Ravens are at home and are allowing a league-best 13 points per game this season.
3) Only two main slate games have spreads greater than five points, so we should have a lot of close battles on this week’s slate.
4) A 31 point team total for a team in a road game is almost unprecedented. The Rams roll on. In fact, let’s talk more about that here now.
