Last Woman Standing looks to go 7-1-1 on NFL picks

The Last Woman Standing didn’t win last week — but she didn’t lose, either.

Amber Hanover, who won Station Casinos’ NFL Last Man Standing contest last season, had a push with under 23 in the first half of the Raiders’ game with the Giants. Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson made a 32-yard field goal with six seconds left to give the Raiders a 13-10 halftime lead.

Hanover will provide NFL picks throughout the season.

Here is Hanover’s free play for this week:

Under 45 Browns-Patriots

Hanover called this a “simple under” with two defenses that are better than the offenses.

She said she expects the Browns to cause problems for Patriots rookie quarterback Mac Jones.

“They can get to him, and they can win,” Hanover said.

The Patriots are consensus 2½-point home favorites. Hanover said she expects the game to be close, but not the total.

“It’ll be a no-sweat under,” she said.

Last week: 0-0-1

Season: 6-1-1
