NFL Week 7 predictions, schedule & best bets

Pittsburgh Steelers “at” New Orleans Saints

Kicks off Sunday at 9:30 a.m. ET from Stade de France in Paris. That is the country’s largest stadium and played a big role in the 2024 Summer Olympics. Louisiana’s origins date to being a French colony, so it was always going to be the New Orleans Saints who played there first. The game is scheduled even with all the civil unrest in the country. Both clubs rallied for wins Sunday. The Saints immediately flew overseas, but the Steelers are waiting until Thursday.

Point spread: Steelers -2.5

Pick ATS: Pittsburgh

San Francisco 49ers at Atlanta Falcons

Short week for the unbeaten Niners after they escaped, 23-17, vs. Washington on Monday night to conclude Week 6. They were without WR Deebo Samuel, top pass-rusher Nick Bosa and linebacker Dre Greenlaw – he was on suspension so will at least return here. And No. 1 WR Mike Evans, already playing through injury, left hurt. The Falcons were 31-23 losers on Sunday to Chicago and it really wasn’t that close. Strangely enough, QB Michael Penix Jr. fell to 0-2 in his NFL career in games where he had at least three TD passes.

Point spread: 49ers -3.5

Pick ATS: Atlanta

Cleveland Browns at Tennessee Titans

This could be brutal to watch offensively. First one to 13 points wins. The Titans got their first W of the season Sunday with a 26-20 comeback win at Indianapolis. The team’s 26 second-half points were its most since 2020, and it became only the fourth 0-5 team in the NFL in the past 30 years to overcome at least a 13-point deficit in a win. The Browns rallied for a 13-10 home win over Baltimore. All four wins this season have now come by four points or fewer, and Cleveland either was tied or trailed in the final five minutes of each.

Point spread: Browns -1.5

Pick ATS: Tennessee

Indianapolis Colts at Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota is the surprise of the NFC at 5-0 and leading the NFC North out of its bye week despite an offence that has been quite ordinary under QB Kyler Murray, but the defence has been sensational. That unit is allowing a league-low 12.8 points per game. The Colts utterly blew a game Sunday at home vs. the winless Titans, 26-20, and it was so bad that GM Chris Ballard was fired Monday. QB Daniel Jones had two picks and is regressing. Time to reboot in Indy.

Miami Dolphins at New York Jets

This could about as be brutal to watch offensively as Browns-Titans. The Dolphins come out of their bye pretty much as bad as expected at 0-5 and being outscored by 62 points. But on the bright side, Miami scored a season-high 24 points in losing its final game pre-break to Cincinnati. The team didn’t top 13 points scored in any of its first four. The Jets were competitive Sunday in a 26-19 loss at New England. Second-year coach Aaron Glenn is now 0-7 against the AFC East. Miami swept the rivalry last year.

Point spread: Jets -4.5

Pick ATS: New York

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers

The NFC South rivals split last season, each winning very close at home. It’s possible the Bucs get starting QB Baker Mayfield back from injury this week. They had every chance to win Sunday at home vs. Pittsburgh but blew a double-digit fourth-quarter lead in an overtime loss to fall to 0-4 at home. Carolina was a 25-14 winner in Philadelphia behind another big game from Bryce Young. His 11 pass TDs are a franchise record through the first five games of a season.

Point spread: Panthers -3.5

Pick ATS: Carolina alt -3

Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens

Cincinnati comes out of its bye week at 3-2 and isn’t far from 5-0. Joe Burrow-to-Ja’Marr Chase remains unstoppable as ever, but the Bengals can’t run the ball and the defence has been quite hit-or-miss. Same ol’ story there really. Baltimore was without starting QB Lamar Jackson for a second week in a row Sunday and was stunned 13-10 in Cleveland. Pretty good chance Jackson is back here. These AFC North rivals split in 2025, each winning easily on the road.

Point spread: Bengals -1.5

Pick ATS: Baltimore

New York Giants at Houston Texans

The Giants blew a double-digit lead in a 34-27 home loss to the Saints on Sunday but still are in good shape atop the NFC East because the division is such a joke. JJ McCarthy might get his first start for the Giants in this one at QB as he nearly led a big late comeback vs. the Saints with 243 yards in the fourth quarter. But McCarthy was incomplete into the New Orleans end zone on the game’s final play. The Texans won their second in a row, 34-31 in London over the Jaguars. Houston is the first team this decade to start 0-4 and then win its next two games.

Point spread: Texans -9.5

Pick ATS: New York alt +10

Denver Broncos at Arizona Cardinals

Broncos coach Sean Payton says he’s not thinking about benching QB Bo Nix even though that offence is really struggling. But Denver also keeps winning, edging the Seahawks 17-14 in OT in Week 6 on Thursday. The Broncos had just 168 total yards and have been held under 300 in four straight. Nix is averaging an NFL-low 5.6 yards per pass attempt. Arizona pulled the upset of the season thus far on Sunday, 18-16 at the Rams. The Cardinals have just two wins and both were at L.A.’s SoFi Stadium.

Point spread: Broncos -4.5

Pick ATS: Arizona

Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions

Detroit comes out of its bye week at 3-2 and the offence looks unstoppable led by Jared Goff and Jahmyr Gibbs, who has nine total touchdowns already. The Lions have scored at least 30 points in every game, but their defence remains the question. Green Bay won a third in a row on Sunday night, 23-13 over Dallas, and is expected to see the season debut in this game off top tailback Josh Jacobs off suspension. The Packers swept this NFC North matchup in 2025 fairly easily.

Point spread: Lions -3

Pick ATS: Detroit alt -2.5

Los Angeles Rams at Las Vegas Raiders

The Rams are a truly shocking 2-4 following an utterly stunning 18-16 home loss to Arizona on Sunday. L.A. has become only the fifth outright preseason Super Bowl favourite in past 50 seasons with a losing record through six games, and none of the previous four made the big game. The Raiders lost a third straight Sunday but pushed visiting Buffalo to the limit, 33-30. That’s four straight games Las Vegas has surrendered at least 27 points.

Point spread: Rams -5.5

Pick ATS: Los Angeles

Kansas City Chiefs at Seattle Seahawks

Sunday night game and a good one as we might see it in Super Bowl 61. These franchises have won three of the past four titles. Seattle has already matched its loss total from last season following a 17-14 OT defeat in Denver on Thursday in Week 6. Turnovers have killed the Seahawks in the early going and they had three more – 10 total in three losses in 2026. The Chiefs remained the AFC’s only unbeaten with an easy 22-6 home win over the Chargers on Sunday. Patrick Mahomes earned his 100th win in his 131st career start to tie Tom Brady for fastest QB to 100 wins all-time. Kenneth Walker III continued his big season with 128 yards on the ground and two scores.

Point spread: Seahawks -2.5

Pick ATS: Seattle

Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles, Monday Night Football

Too bad the NFL couldn’t flex this out as both NFC East teams are vastly overrated and each sitting at 2-4 after both lost again in Week 6. The Eagles played without starting QB Jalen Hurts, were beaten easily at home by Carolina on Sunday and now Hurts is reportedly done for the season after blood clots found in his lungs and leg. Dallas is just bad, losing a second straight game Sunday night, 23-13 in Green Bay. The Cowboys have scored under 20 points in back-to-back Dak Prescott starts for the first time this decade. These rivals split last season, each winning close at home.

Point spread: Cowboys -4.5

Pick ATS: Philadelphia
