Week 7 NFL Predictions: Saints to Overcome Bears in Chicago
As the NFL approaches Week 7, several exciting matchups are on the horizon. Among them, the New Orleans Saints will face off against the Chicago Bears in a bid to secure a critical win. Here are the essential details and predictions for this game and other key matchups this weekend.
Week 7 NFL Predictions: Saints to Overcome Bears in Chicago
New Orleans Saints vs. Chicago Bears
The Saints have struggled this season, boasting only one victory. However, they are not as underwhelming as their record suggests. Quarterback Spencer Rattler has displayed promising skills, and the Saints’ defense is ranked in the NFL’s top half for run stopping, allowing just 3.8 yards per carry.
On the other hand, the Bears have faced challenges. They rank 30th in Net Yards per Play and 21st in DVOA. Their offensive struggles include a low success rate, which positions the Saints as potential victors in this encounter.
Expect the Saints to take advantage of Chicago’s vulnerabilities, pushing toward a much-needed win.
Other Key Matchups
- Indianapolis Colts (+112) vs. Los Angeles Chargers
The Colts, sitting at 5–1, visit the 4–2 Chargers. The Colts hope to improve against a Chargers defense that allows an average of 124.2 rushing yards per game. Daniel Jones and Jonathan Taylor, who rushed for 123 yards against the Cardinals last week, aim for another strong performance.
- Miami Dolphins (+126) vs. Cleveland Browns
The Dolphins face the Browns, who have not scored more than 20 points in a game this season. While the Dolphins struggle defensively, they might capitalize on the Browns’ inconsistent offense, especially with rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel at the helm.
- Houston Texans (+150) vs. Seattle Seahawks
The Texans are coming off a bye week, giving them an opportunity to showcase their strong defense. C.J. Stroud and his offense seem to be improving, which could lead to a thrilling matchup against a Seahawks team with a poor home record under Coach Mike Macdonald.
- Dallas Cowboys (+108) vs. Washington Commanders
In an NFC East showdown, the Cowboys look to rebound after a disappointing loss to Carolina. They possess a potent offense, ranked No. 2 in the NFL in EPA/Play, while the Commanders struggle defensively. Expect a competitive game with Dallas likely to come out on top thanks to Dak Prescott’s solid home performance record.
As the predictions roll in, it is clear that Week 7 promises to deliver exciting football. Fans will be keen to see if the Saints can indeed overcome the Bears in Chicago, alongside other intriguing matchups across the league.
