Week 7 has the fewest games of any week of the NFL season so far, but there are still some very important matchups that could have major implications moving forward. There are six teams on a bye this week — the Panthers, Bengals, Cowboys, Texans, Jets and Colts — and two teams returning from a bye last week — the Packers and Steelers.
There are no international matchups this week, so in addition to the three typical primetime games, there are 10 games on Sunday afternoon. Six of those games are in the early wave, and four games are in the later wave from the West. Of the 10 games Sunday afternoon, half are divisional matchups. The Sunday Night Football matchup is a great one between a pair of 5-1 teams, and Monday Night Football spotlights a key NFC contest.
Each week to help you find the stats and trends that matter, I’ll be posting the relevant info for every matchup from DraftKings Sportsbook. You can use these numbers to fill out your Week 7 betting card or to build an awesome parlay.

The Jaguars returned from back-to-back wins in London and beat the Colts SU/ATS last week. The victory may have been costly, though, since Trevor Lawrence (knee) suffered an injury. His availability will be a key story to monitor leading up to Thursday night’s kickoff. The Saints lost SU/ATS to the Texans last week, but they have gone 4-0 SU/4-0 ATS in their last four head-to-head matchups with the Jaguars. Jacksonville is 10-3 SU/10-3 ATS in its last 13 overall and is also 6-0 ATS in its last six games on the road. The under is 10-0 in the Saints’ last 10 games overall and 4-1 in the Jaguars’ last five games against the NFC South.

The Monday Night Football matchup features the Vikings hosting the 49ers, who like the Eagles are looking to bounce back after a tough SU/ATS loss last week. Minnesota won SU/ATS against Chicago and is looking to turn its season around after an 0-3 start. The Vikings are just 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games and 0-6 ATS in their last six home games. On the other side, the 49ers are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games and 17-2 SU in their last 19 games.
