It’s Week 7! Last week forced another shakeup in Conor Orr’s power rankings, with top teams such as the Eagles, Bills and Lions all going down. We also saw the first coach firing of the season, with the Titans dismissing Brian Callahan six games into his second season.
You’ll have to wait until Monday night for the biggest game of Week 7, as that’s when MVP candidate Baker Mayfield and the surging Buccaneers visit the Lions in a game that could have a massive impact on the NFC playoff picture. Our editor John Pluym is the only member of our staff picking the Bucs on the road. The Titans are hoping for the famed interim coach bump in Mike Vrabel’s homecoming game when the Patriots come to Tennessee, but Conor Orr is the only one picking an upset. Our crew’s most popular upset pick will be played at SoFi Stadium, where the 5–1 Colts are underdogs against the banged-up Chargers. And the game our staff is most split on will be at the Meadowlands, where three of our writers picked the Jets over the Panthers, despite a dismal showing from Aaron Glenn’s squad in London last week.
