NFL Week 7 games: 5 best games to watch
Taking a look at the NFL Week 7 games, there are five which rank above the rest come Sunday afternoon.
5. New York Jets at New England Patriots (-7)
Yeah, when this game makes the list you know the week doesn’t have a ton going for it. Still, this is a divisional game. The Patriots are either going to win and get to 3-4, putting them back in the race, or they go completely off the rails. Meanwhile, the Jets come off their bye week. Did they figure anything out and will rookie quarterback Zach Wilson, seeing New England for the second time, play better than his four-interception showing in Week 2?

4. Indianapolis Colts at San Francisco 49ers (-4)
As far as Sunday night games go, this isn’t ideal. Indianapolis and San Francisco are both under .500 and there’s not exactly star power at the quarterback position with Carson Wentz and Jimmy Garoppolo squaring off. However, it’s an important game for both sides. The Colts are trying to win their second straight, getting them to 3-4 and back in the AFC mix. For the Niners, it would be their first win since Week 2, getting them to 3-3.
3. Philadelphia Eagles at Las Vegas Raiders (-3)
This should be a fun game. The Raiders are 4-2 after handling the Denver Broncos last Sunday. They are trying to take first place in the AFC West with a victory. As for the Eagles, a victory and Philadelphia is 3-4 with much of the brutal portion of its schedule in the rear view. Should the Eagles find a way to win behind Jalen Hurts and the defensive line, they’d be in the playoff picture.

2. Kansas City Chiefs (-5.5) at Tennessee Titans
Now we’re into the intriguing contests between contenders. Tennessee is coming off a short week — the third time the Chiefs have gotten a team off a Monday night — after a thrilling win over the Buffalo Bills. Derrick Henry is easily leading the league in rushing yardage, and gets one of the league’s worst run defenses in Kansas City. Yet will that be enough, as the Titans are banged up and trying to stop Patrick Mahomes and the NFL’s best offense.
1. Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens (-6.5)
An important game in the AFC North. Should the Bengals win, they tie the Ravens atop the division and technically hold the tiebreaker with a rematch coming in December at Paul Brown Stadium. For Baltimore, an opportunity to start running away from the rest of the group in the North.
