We are one third of the way through the NFL season, meaning there are plenty of trends coming together across the league. Beyond that, there are a handful of stats from 2025 that have carried over into the first six weeks of 2026.

Here’s a look at some streaks and trends to consider when making picks for Week 7’s Sunday action.

Notable Player Props

Double Digit Streaks

  • Patrick Mahomes has recorded at least 225 passing yards in 14 consecutive games following a win, which is worth noting since the Kansas City Chiefs are fresh off a Week 6 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Consistent Anytime Touchdown Scorers

  • San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey has found the end zone in 12 straight games when his team has been favored. His teammate, tight end George Kittle, has done so in each of the last six opportunities that he was in the same setting.
  • Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has scored a touchdown in each of his last five games against AFC North opponents, finding paydirt twice when he faced the Cleveland Browns in 2025.
  • Running back Javonte Williams has thrived in primetime, scoring a touchdown in each of the Dallas Cowboys’ last five night games.

Notable Streaks

  • Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has passed for at least 264 yards in seven straight games.
  • In each of his last seven games against NFC opponents, Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has recorded 10+ rushing yards.

Team Betting Streaks

  • The Tennessee Titans, who are 1.5-point underdogs against the Cleveland Browns, have failed to cover the spread after each of their last 13 wins.
  • The last 13 times that the Miami Dolphins have been underdogs on the road against other AFC teams, they’ve come away with a loss.
  • In each of their last 12 games against teams from the NFC South, the Pittsburgh Steelers have covered the spread.
  • The Carolina Panthers have lost 12 straight as home favorites versus fellow NFC teams.
  • Indianapolis, fresh off a loss to Tennessee, has scored the first touchdown following each of their last seven defeats.
  • The Detroit Lions have failed to cover the spread following a win in eight consecutive opportunities, so history may favor the Packers at +3 on Sunday.
  • Seattle has scored the first touchdown in eight straight games when hosting an opponent from the AFC West at Lumen Field
  • AFC teams are 9-4-4 against the spread this season when they are underdogs against NFC opponents.
    • AFC Underdogs vs. NFC
      • Minnesota Vikings vs. Indianapolis Colts (+6.5)
      • Las Vegas Raiders (+3.5) vs. Los Angeles Rams
      • Seattle Seahawks vs. Kansas City Chiefs (+3)
  • AFC teams are 7-3 straight up when favored over NFC teams this season, including a 4-1 record across the last four weeks.
    • AFC Favorites vs. NFC
      • Houston Texans vs. New York Giants
      • Denver Broncos @ Arizona Cardinals
      • Pittsburgh Steelers @ New Orleans Saints

Something Oddly Specific

With the Vikings’ bye week in the rear-view mirror, here is an interesting streak to keep an eye on in regards to their star wide receiver on Sunday:

  • Justin Jefferson has gone for 79+ receiving yards in each of the last 10 October games that the Vikings have entered as the favorite.
