NFL Week 7 Odds: Unbeaten Patriots and Panthers Among Betting Favorites

Just two of the NFL’s five remaining undefeated teams will be in action in Week 7 of the NFL season, as the Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos and Green Bay Packers all get to enjoy their bye weeks along with the Chicago Bears.

The New England Patriots (5-0) and Carolina Panthers (5-0) have already had their byes and are each coming off huge road wins in Week 6.

The Patriots knocked off the Indianapolis Colts (3-3) 34-27 in a rematch of last year’s AFC Championship Game but failed to cover the spread as 8.5-point favorites at sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark because of a late touchdown.

New England hosts the surprising New York Jets (4-1) next in a key AFC East matchup and has gone 0-4 against the spread in the past four meetings despite winning three of them. The Patriots opened as 9.5-point home favorites for the game.

New York has a new head coach this season in Todd Bowles, who has also led his team to a 4-1 mark ATS.

The Panthers upset the Seattle Seahawks 27-23 on the road as seven-point underdogs in Week 6, dropping the two-time defending NFC champion to 2-4 SU and 1-4-1 ATS this season.

Carolina took sole possession of first place in the NFC South with the victory because the Atlanta Falcons (5-1) suffered their first loss of the year, going down 31-21 to the New Orleans Saints (2-4) as three-point road favorites in Week 6's Thursday night game.

The Panthers host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7's Sunday night matchup. They open as three-point favorites and have lost four of the past five meetings both SU and ATS, according to the Odds Shark NFL Database. The Eagles will be playing in prime time for the second straight week after visiting the New York Giants on Monday night.

Seattle will kick off Week 7 by visiting the San Francisco 49ers (2-4) on Thursday night. The Seahawks are consensus 5.5-point road favorites for the NFC West game and have gone a perfect 8-0 ATS in the last eight games versus the 49ers.

Seattle will try to earn a victory away from home for the first time this season. San Francisco’s two wins thus far have both come at Levi’s Stadium, including a 25-20 victory over the Baltimore Ravens (1-5) as a 2.5-point underdog on Sunday.
