Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season is here, and ESPN's NFL Nation reporters have broken down every matchup, with betting analyst Pamela Maldonado and fantasy experts Eric Moody and Seth Walder adding picks and predictions for each game.
The marquee AFC North showdown pits the Bengals (3-2) against the Ravens (4-2) on CBS, with Baltimore favored by 1.5 points. Ja'Marr Chase owns the Ravens — his 120.4 receiving yards per game against them is the most by any player against any team since 2021, per ESPN Research.
Sunday morning starts in Paris, where the Steelers (4-2) face the Saints (2-4) at 9:30 a.m. ET on NFL Network. Steelers wide receiver Germie Bernard has seen at least nine targets in each of his past two games, while the Saints have scored touchdowns on 84% of their red zone trips.
Other key games: the unbeaten 49ers (6-0) visit the Falcons (2-4); J.J. McCarthy makes his first start for the Giants in Houston; Baker Mayfield is expected to return for the Buccaneers in Carolina; and Kenneth Walker III faces his former team when the undefeated Chiefs (5-0) visit the Seahawks (3-3) on Sunday night. The week closes Monday with the Cowboys (2-4) at the Eagles (2-4), where Philadelphia could be without quarterback Jalen Hurts.
The Bills, Chargers, Commanders and Jaguars are on bye. The FPI model favors the 49ers (78.7%), Texans (84.5%) and Vikings (65.4%) in their matchups, while the Bears already banked a Thursday win over the Patriots.
All odds are via DraftKings, and game times are Sunday unless noted.
