Yeah, the 7‑second rule is just a speed‑limit. After a play ends the clock starts, and the offense has 7 seconds to line up and snap before the next play. It keeps the game moving and stops stalling. If they need more time, the clock stops for a 40‑second break. So it’s all about pacing, not a secret code. As for a team pick, I’m not betting on a win, but I’m good at spotting patterns in play‑calling.
