The NFC North has been dominating through the first six weeks of action. The Minnesota Vikings return this week after a bye and sit at 5-0 atop the division.

The Detroit Lions sit a game back at 4-1 after dismantling the Cowboys in Week 6.

The Chicago Bears are at 4-2 as rookie quarterback Caleb Williams continues to improve each week.

As if three solid teams weren’t enough, the Green Bay Packers are also 4-2 after a three-touchdown win over the Cardinals. Will the big wins continue?

Week 7 should shake things up a bit as the Packers host the Houston Texans, and an even bigger showdown is set for Minnesota with the Lions battling the Vikings.

Fans and bettors can expect two more massive games – the 49ers at the Chiefs and the Ravens at the Buccaneers.

Week 7 also brings a Sunday morning game from England as well as a Monday night doubleheader. Look for quite a wild weekend of football.

Matchups to Watch

The 49ers-Chiefs game looks to be the marquee matchup this week and should provide plenty of fireworks on Sunday afternoon.

As predicted here last week, the Niners (3-3) bounced back with a 36-24 win over the Seahawks. Brock Purdy was locked in and is on pace for a big contract after this season.

The 25-year-old threw for three touchdowns and leads the league in passing yardage behind Geno Smith. Jordan Mason is also second in the league in rushing yardage.

The Chiefs (5-0) continue to roll and are one of only two undefeated teams remaining in the NFL along with the Vikings.

Patricks Mahomes has been good, but not perfect this season – throwing six TDs but also six interceptions.

This should be a game of two top defenses as well, with San Francisco ninth in yards allowed and Kansas City in 11th. Here’s a look at some other matchups to watch.

  • Texans at Packers – Houston (5-1) continues to impress, and the Packers (4-2) look to keep pace in the crowded NFC North. Both are coming off big wins, and there should be plenty of scoring.
  • Lions at Vikings – Detroit (4-1) absolutely destroyed the Cowboys last week and hopes to carry that mojo over to this week’s divisional matchup against the Vikings. Sam Darnold has revived his career and is fourth in the league in TD passes.
  • Ravens at Buccaneers – After a 0-2 start, Baltimore has been a force with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry on fire. Henry leads the league in rushing yardage (704) and touchdowns (8). Jackson has chipped in another 403 rushing yards for eighth in the league, along with two touchdowns on the ground. Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield is also having a great season, sitting eighth in the league in passing yardage (1,489) and first in touchdowns (15). Look for plenty of activity on the scoreboard.

Interesting Prop Bets

Last week’s Brock Purdy over 1.5 touchdown passes paid off as he put up 255 yards and three TDs.

This week, look for Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels to top 225 passing yards against an atrocious Carolina defense at -180.

Picks for the People

After a few stagnant weeks and some tough upsets, last week’s picks produced a 5-1 record. Here are a few games to watch for Week 7.

  • Broncos at Saints – These teams aren’t great, but look for the total to top the 36.5.
  • Titans at Bills – The Bills were resurrected a bit with a solid win over the Jets last week. They should score a lot in this one, and the Titans may produce enough to get over 41.5.
  • Texans at Packers – The Texans sling it around and average almost 24 points a game. The Packers have averaged 27 points per game as well, and CJ Stroud continues to produce big for Houston in his second year. The over 47.5 seems likely.
  • Bengals at Browns – The Bengals showed signs of life last week, and Joe Burrow has 12 TDs and only two interceptions this year. The Browns are reeling. DeShaun Watson looks awful, and the team traded away wide receiver Amari Cooper this week. The Bengals need this badly to remain in the playoff hunt and should get over the 6.5.
  • Panthers at Commanders – Take the hot hand Commanders and continue picking on the lowly Panthers. Washington tops the 8.5 to stay atop the NFC East.
  • Ravens at Buccaneers – Tampa leads the league in scoring and the Ravens are third. Look for plenty of TDs that are topping the 49.5.
