LAS VEGAS - These are ESPN Chalks weekly NFL betting recaps for every Week 7 game -- with an emphasis on the word betting.Sometimes its clear from the opening kickoff that a team is going to win and/or cover the spread. Other times it looks like one team is going to coast to victory when the other one rallies, causing bettors to wonder how they could have possibly lost that game and crying bad beat! Of course, there also are the back-and-forth, 50-50 games that are virtual coin flips.This new column, which will also include my takeaways from each game, will separate the different kind of point-spread results from each week, and is intended to be a quick overview for those who have to work on NFL Sundays or otherwise arent able to watch all the games. Well also incorporate Rufus Peabodys numbers to give an analytical look at which teams shouldve covered.So lets run down Sundays Week 7 action (plus Thursdays game) as the San Diego-Atlanta game was the closest we had to a bad beat (though it certainly was for those on the Atlanta money line or using in a teaser). Arizona also should have won.Note: Well point out crazy over/under results, but this is primarily a recap of the against-the-spread (ATS) results.Bad Beats (clearly wrong sides)Atlanta (-6.5) losing 33-30 at home against San DiegoThis wasnt the worst bad beat weve seen, but the Chargers have to feel great about being on the winning side of one of these.Julio Teheran Jersey . U.S. District Judge Lorna G. Schofield in Manhattan agreed that lawyers on both sides could make their formal requests by Nov. 8. A hearing is scheduled for a day earlier. Jordan Siev, a lawyer for Rodriguez, wrote in a joint letter to the judge from lawyers on both sides that MLB lawyers planned to ask that the lawsuit be dismissed. Babe Ruth Jersey . Now that hes hitting streaking teammates with pin-point passes for easy layups, Love is asserting himself as one of the true superstars in the league. http://www.baseballbravesproshop.com/kevin-gausman-braves-jersey/ .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back. Nick Markakis Jersey . Marincin has played in two NHL games so far this season with two penalty minutes. The 21-year-old has three goals, four assists and a plus-5 rating in 24 games with the American Hockey Leagues Oklahoma City Barons this season. Bobby Cox Braves Jersey . - The Oakland Raiders re-signed offensive lineman Khalif Barnes on Friday.The quarterback who went No. 2 overall in this years draft is 3-0, ranks sixth in the NFL in passer rating and has five touchdown passes without an interception.The quarterback who went No. 1 overall in this years draft hasnt played yet.So what happened here? Did the Los Angeles Rams blow it with Jared Goff? Are the Philadelphia Eagles geniuses for trading up to No. 2 to select?Carson Wentz? Is Wentz a prodigy? Is Goff a bust???Yeah, its a hot-take world when it comes to quarterbacks, and everybody loves to jump to their favorite conclusions. In this case, its not that simple. While Goff and Wentz will forever be linked due to their proximity at the top of the draft, their 2016 situations are anything but apples to apples.Heres a key difference: The Minnesota Vikings didnt offer the Rams a first-round pick for their starting quarterback a week before the season. The Vikings?did do that for the Eagles, which sent Sam Bradford to the upper Midwest and elevated Wentz to the starters role.While the Eagles werent preparing Wentz to start Week 1 until that deal went down eight days before their opener, the fact remains that they did manage to sufficiently prepare him to start -- and play very well -- in September.To hear the Eagles tell it, it wasnt that tough.(Coach Doug Pedersons) system, 80-85 percent of it is just what it takes to play quarterback in the NFL. It would be the same no matter who was in there, said Eagles offensive coordinator Frank Reich after the teams Week 3 victory over Pittsburgh. That other 15-25 percent is the little nuances Doug put in there that work to Carsons strengths. Sam is a pure pocket passer. Youre not going to do as much play-action stuff, as much movement-based stuff with Sam. So when Carson went in there, we added some stuff based around what he does well and what hes comfortable with, but basically the offense stayed the same.At the time of the Bradford trade, people in the Eagles building were saying Wentz was mentally ready for the job, due to the time hed been putting in at the facility since May. They didnt know how that preparation would translate onto the field once the games counted for real, but they believed he was in a position to succeed.Its not too big for him, its not too fast for him, because his mind can process all of it, Reich said.Rams people say the same behind the scenes about Goff. Physically, sources say, they believe he could play now and compete. But theyre reluctant to put him into a game in a situation in which?he might not have success, and its fair to say he has had more to learn than Wentz.First of all, the system in which Goff played his college ball at Cal was not as close to a pro-style system as the one Wentz ran at North Dakota State. And?the circumstances of the Rams 2016 offense are more complex than the ones in which Wentz landed 3,000 miles farther East.Im happy for young quarterbacks when they have success, but we have our own sense of timing here with him, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said in a news conference last week. The quarterbacks are having success because of injuries. As I mentioned last weeek, had we not had the injuries that we did in the league, probably all four of those quarterbacks either would be inactive or backups.ddddddddddddhis offseason, the Rams hired Mike Groh and gave him the title of passing game coordinator. They retained their offensive coordinator, Rob Boras. They also hired Chris Weinke as their new quarterbacks coach. The result of that coaching cocktail is not only a lot of voices in the room and in Goffs head but also a complicated mixture of an offense thats trying to blend what the Rams were doing under Fisher with some of the principles Groh learned while working under Adam Gase in Chicago the past couple of years.A big portion of the passing game this year was different, Rams starting quarterback Case Keenum said in a phone interview Wednesday. Our protections are definitely a little bit different, and combining them with the concepts has been a challenge. Knowing whos hot on a particular play, when theyre hot, the dropback game. ... Theres been a lot of change, and its a lot to process. But I think its working pretty good.Keenum takes responsibility for some of the offensive issues, saying, Ive missed a few throws with some guys running open. The Rams are 30th in the league in passing yards per game and last in completion percentage. Only three teams have fewer touchdown passes than the Rams four.They are 3-1, however, thanks in large part to a defense that has taken away the ball nine times and is holding opponents under 20 points per game. Keenum and the offense have largely protected the ball well, and theyve done enough in spite of the growing pains.So add up the surprisingly strong win/loss start and the fact that this offense is still putting itself together, and you can see why the Rams dont feel any rush to get Goff in there. Its entirely possible hes as ready as Wentz is. But the Bradford trade gave the Eagles a reason to elevate Wentz, and the complexities of the Rams under-construction offense give L.A. reason to worry about Goff having too much on his plate if he does play.Wentzs coaches in Philadelphia are all quarterbacks -- Pederson the head coach, Reich the coordinator and quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo. Wentz is surrounded by people who speak his language, know what hes going through and communicate simply and on his level.Groh and Weinke were quarterbacks, but neither had ever coached quarterbacks in the NFL until this season. Boras is a former offensive lineman, and Fishers background is on defense.That doesnt mean what the Eagles are doing is right or what the Rams are doing is wrong. What it tells you is that the situations in which Wentz and Goff find themselves at the outset of their careers are very different. Its easy to look at what has gone on so far -- Wentz lighting up the league, while Goff rides the bench -- and say they may have been picked in the wrong order, but its important to remember theres a long way to go. A month does not make a career (or two careers).Cheap Jerseys [u, but its important to remember th
