There are still three unbeaten teams in the NFL but only one of them is 6-0. The San Francisco 49ers avoided a scare from the Commanders on Monday Night Football and remained perfect but lost Mike Evans in the mix to an Achilles injury which could prove costly. Injuries to Terry McLaurin also led headlines in a week where Jalen Hurts was shut down for the season with a scary blood clot. Teams are fighting for their lives this season on the injury front, more than in the past it seems. There are still plenty of good games to distract us from that fact. Here are our Top 3 2026 NFL Games Week 7.
Cincinnati Bengals vs Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens suffered their worst loss under new head coach Jesse Minter on Sunday, handing a game to Cleveland late. It doesn’t get any easier as they now face the Bengals. Joe Burrow and the offense had extra time to prepare for a Baltimore defense led by former Bengals pass rusher Trey Hendrickson. This is a top 10 Bengals offense that has to do everything it can to get back into the division race. The biggest question in this game is whether Lamar Jackson can return from an ankle injury after missing the past two games. Jackson’s availability could dramatically change the outlook for a Ravens offense that ranks among the league’s best in rushing. Jackson is 11-3 in the regular season against the Bengals and has dominated throughout his career. I’m skeptical that he plays. Prediction: Bengals 25 Ravens 21
Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions
The NFC North is stacked. Every single team could win the division and there’s a world where all four of the teams make the playoffs. That would mark the first time in NFL history that it’s been accomplished. Josh Jacobs returns to the Packers this week after being on the commissioner’s exempt list to start the season and he should drastically improve a struggling Green Bay rushing attack. The Lions have been hit or miss which has been the story of the team since Ben Johnson left for Chicago. Green Bay’s secondary against Detroit’s high-powered passing attack is the matchup to watch. If Goff has time to operate, the Lions can exploit a Packers defense dealing with injuries. Prediction: Packers 24 Lions 26
Kansas City Chiefs vs Seattle Seahawks
The Chiefs head to Seattle on Sunday night looking to extend their unbeaten start and strengthen their grip on the AFC West. Kansas City with an older Pat Mahomes and Travis Kelce is still averaging 28 points and a league-best 414 yards per game. For Seattle, Sam Darnold threw a few key interceptions last week vs Denver where they lost in overtime. The NFC West is getting further out of reach for the Hawks who need to quickly string together some wins to keep up. If the Chiefs can keep JSN in check, the offense takes a massive hit without a stable running game. Spags should be able to scheme up something impressive to keep JSN away from the football in this game and Mahomes should be able to provide enough offense. Prediction: Chiefs 20 Seahawks 17
