Sunday&#8217;s slate once again gets started a bit earlier than usual with a third straight London game on deck, this time between the Los Angeles Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars. After that, there are a number of intriguing matchups on deck, so it&#8217;s important that you have all of your bets locked in before kickoff. And that&#8217;s where we come in to lend a helping hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Below, you can find our five best bets for Week 7 that include a pick in the Eagles-Vikings matchup, along with determining if the Kansas City Chiefs &#8212; re-armed with wideout Rashee Rice &#8212; can cover the double-digit spread against the Las Vegas Raiders. On top of those bets bets, we&#8217;ll also provide our picks for every other game on the slate. Happy betting!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Teams with bye weeks in Week 7: <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/teams\/BUF\/buffalo-bills\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Buffalo Bills<\/a> and <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/teams\/BAL\/baltimore-ravens\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Baltimore Ravens<\/a><\/p>\n<p>NFL odds via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/betting\/news\/draftkings-promo-code\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a> (unless otherwise noted). <a href=\"https:\/\/martech.cbssports.com\/bt\/redirect\/prod?b=draftkings&amp;c=sport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"mtech-link\">Bet NFL Week 7 games at DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a>, where new users get $300 in bonus bets and three free months of NBA League Pass.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t love this spot for the Patriots, who are playing their third road game in as many weeks. They are also facing a Titans team playing their first game after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/news\/brian-callahans-quick-flameout-continues-the-titans-stunning-three-year-cycle-of-chaos-now-what\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">firing head coach Brian Callahan<\/a>, which is typically a situation where clubs respond well the following game. That said, is Mike Vrabel really going to lose his first game against a Tennessee franchise that fired him after the 2023 season? The Patriots head coach should be dialed in for this matchup, and I expect the players in the locker room will also be motivated to win this game for Vrabel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>New England is also far superior &#8212; it&#8217;s playing like a top 10 team in the NFL at the moment &#8212; with <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/players\/26695757\/drake-maye\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Drake Maye<\/a> putting up top five numbers at the quarterback position. \u00a0On the other side, <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/players\/3168422\/cam-ward\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cam Ward<\/a> has struggled as the No. 1 overall pick: he has a league-worst 55% completion rate and ranks bottom three in the league in yards per attempt (5.5) and touchdown-to-interception ratio (3-to-4).

This will be the first time these former Oklahoma quarterbacks will face one another since their position battle with the Sooners. Rattler started over Williams to begin the 2020 season, but Williams eventually got the nod during the sixth game of that campaign. Williams started the rest of that year, and Rattler eventually transferred to South Carolina. Williams admitted in 2024 that he was <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NFL_DovKleiman\/status\/1782452069867139151\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">&#8220;so angry&#8221;<\/a> starting the season as the backup to Rattler at the time, and I wonder if that feeling will linger in this game with a desire to continue to prove that he was the top quarterback in that room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On top of the motivation factor from Williams, I like the way Chicago is playing. It has won three straight coming into Week 7 and is averaging 2.4 takeaways per game (most in the NFL). That should match up well against Rattler&#8217;s Saints, with the quarterback 0-5 on the road as the starter and his offense averaging just 11.8 points per game. Meanwhile, Williams is 7-3-1 ATS at home in his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Projected\u00a0score: Bears 27, Saints 20<br \/>The\u00a0pick: Bears -4.5<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/news\/nfl-week-7-picks-mike-vrabel-wins-revenge-game-vs-titans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><\/p>\n<p>NFL Week best bets: Mike Vrabel wins revenge game vs. Titans, Dillon Gabriel scores first win<\/p>\n<p>\n                    Jordan Dajani                <\/p>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" alt=\"NFL Week best bets: Mike Vrabel wins revenge game vs. Titans, Dillon Gabriel scores first win\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/mike.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" height=\"152\" width=\"270\"\/><\/p>\n<p>    <\/a><br \/>\nSunday, 1 p.m. (Fox |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fubo.tv\/welcome\/leagues\/191277?irad=356362&amp;irmp=416484&amp;sharedid=HTW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Fubo<\/a>, try for free)<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard for me to back the Eagles at this stage, particularly on the road. The offense continues to look lost and is averaging just 274.5 yards per game (third-fewest in the NFL). The club has been outgained in every game this season and has been outscored 52-17 in the last five quarters. This offense is expected to rebound against a Vikings defense that is fifth in the NFL in points per game allowed (19.4), sixth in yards per game allowed (289.8), and second in third-down efficiency (30%)? I don&#8217;t see it. Meanwhile, the Vikings are 9-2 at home since the start of last season, which includes a 2-0 record as a home underdog. The club is 4-1 straight up as an underdog since 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Projected\u00a0score: Vikings 23, Eagles 20<br \/>The\u00a0pick: Vikings +1.5<\/p>\n<p>Sunday, 1 p.m. (Fox |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fubo.tv\/welcome\/leagues\/191277?irad=356362&amp;irmp=416484&amp;sharedid=HTW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Fubo<\/a>, try for free)<\/p>\n<p>The Jets initially opened as the favorite in this matchup, but the odds have swung toward Carolina. While it&#8217;s hard to fault anyone for fading the Jets after an abysmal performance in London last week, this is a sneaky good spot for them to notch their first win of 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Panthers are a dramatically different team on the road than they are at home. This season, Carolina is 0-3 on the road and is averaging just 15 points per game on offense while allowing 31.7 points per game on defense. <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/players\/3161957\/bryce-young\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bryce Young<\/a> is just 1-15 on the road in his career as a starter. If this continues, <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/players\/1273205\/justin-fields\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Justin Fields<\/a> won&#8217;t be asked to do anything beyond his capabilities as a passer, and New York could control a low-scoring game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After all, the Jets did play well on defense and on special teams last week, to the point where they nearly pulled off the upset despite issues on offense. Those two areas could continue to shine, and if they get remotely competent play from Fields and Co., it&#8217;ll result in the first win for head coach Aaron Glenn.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Projected\u00a0score: Jets 20, Panthers 17<br \/>The\u00a0pick: Jets +1.5<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t look now, but the Kansas City Chiefs have clawed back to .500, the offense is coming alive, and the team is set to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/news\/rashee-rice-return-impact-chiefs-fantasy-betting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">welcome back standout receiver Rashee Rice<\/a> from his six-game suspension.
