Summary
This week the Dallas Cowboys visit the San Francisco 49ers in a primetime matchup with considerably less luster than many hoped in Week 1. Nevertheless, Action Network NFL betting experts Chad Millman and Simon Hunter discuss this and every other game on the board from a betting perspetive. Can the Titans slow down the red hot Detroit Lions? Are the Dolphins worth betting again with Tua under center? And how impactful will a new quarterback be for Cleveland?
We also get a recap of Week 7 in the free Favorites Podcast $100,000 Pro Football Pick 'Em Contest, which is STILL available for sign-up at favorites.actionnetwork.com
And be sure to keep your ears peeled for our Simon Says and Executive Decision picks of the week! #Volume #herd
