Two AFC results made the headlines on the Sunday of NFL Week 7 with the Chiefs slipping to 3-4 after being smashed 27-3 by the Titans, while Cincinnati made a statement in the AFC North with a 41-17 win over Baltimore.

Hornets buzzing in the NBA
Our NBA team went 4-2 on Sunday, including picking the Hornets +8.5 for their upset 111-95 win over the Nets that moved them to 3-0 and dropped the Nets to 1-2. Brooklyn remains the +250 favorite to win the title.

Best Bet of the Day
Portland Trail Blazers ML vs Los Angeles Clippers
10:30 pm ET, NBA TV
Kawhi Leonard being out to begin the year has shifted the majority of the burden offensively for the Clippers to Paul George. George has responded well, posting 35.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 5.0 assists through 2 games. However, he has received little help. Portland has shown a willingness to play more defense this season than they have in years past and they should be able to keep the Clippers winless. Read our full preview of tonight’s game.
