NFL TV Schedule 2016: Coverage Map, Times, Live-Stream Listings for Week 7

Week 7 of the 2016 NFL season features lots of marquee matchups that may or may not turn out to make for good television.

We have another London game between the New York Giants and the Los Angeles Rams, an NFC West divisional matchup with major playoff implications between the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals and a Thursday Night Football lineup featuring the storied rivalry between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers that, given the injuries heading into it, might prove to be less than enthralling. 

We'll just have to watch them unfold for ourselves to see whether the games hold any entertainment, but on paper, those are compelling matchups. 

Here are the TV coverage maps for this weekend's games, courtesy of 506 Sports:

Must-Watch Matchups

Minnesota Vikings @ Philadelphia Eagles

This matchup between the 5-0 Minnesota Vikings and the 3-2 Philadelphia Eagles is ranked at No. 1 using ESPN’s Matchup Quality metric, making it the biggest must-watch game this week. 

Obviously, with Minnesota being the last remaining undefeated team in the league, part of this matchup hinges on seeing if Philadelphia finally dethrone the Vikings. But even without those stakes, these teams are just incredibly watchable. 

There's Philadelphia rookie quarterback Carson Wentz, who experienced something of a fall from grace against the Detroit Lions on Oct. 9 when he threw the first interception of his rookie career and was handed his first loss of the season. 

Then, on the other side, there's Minnesota's stout defense, which has only allowed 63 points on the season. That's by far the fewest in the league. Incidentally, Philadelphia's defense has allowed the second-fewest, at 78.

This is a matchup of two stout defenses and two offenses that are performing, for the most part, better than they were expected to. What's not to love?

New England Patriots @ Pittsburgh Steelers

The Patriots would have been a difficult matchup for the Steelers even with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, so how will Pittsburgh fare without him?

According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, the new outlook for Roethlisberger's recovery is four-to-six weeks.

In his career, Tom Brady has won eight of 10 starts against Pittsburgh, and New England is 2-0 since welcoming Brady back into the fold. 

Moreover, it's not just the Patriots offense that is going to give the Steelers fits on Sunday.

New England's defense has been stellar this season, allowing just 15.2 points per game. 

Plus, while the Patriots are getting healthy at just the right time, the Steelers are being ravaged by injuries:

This one, which would have made for excellent television at another point in time, could get ugly. 

Seattle Seahawks @ Arizona Cardinals

The NFC West rival Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals sit at No. 1 and No. 3 in their division, respectively, with the Los Angeles Rams in the middle.

It's not the way Arizona expected to start its season, having gone 3-3, and the Cardinals have to keep stacking wins (they have won their last two) in order to get back into the playoffs conversation.

Meanwhile, Seattle has won three consecutive road games against Arizona. It heads into the desert with a defense that's allowing only 15.6 points per game, tied with the Eagles for the third-fewest in the league. 

The NFC appears to be anyone's conference this season, but as of right now, the Seattle Seahawks and their dominant defense are in pretty good position to make a run for the championship. Arizona, on the other hand, needs to get back on track.
