The Dallas Cowboys are off this week. That means football fans can focus on other games around the NFL.
Week 7′s action kicks off Thursday when Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos travel to New Orleans to face the Saints. Sunday’s slate starts with an early morning showdown between the Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots at London’s Wembley Stadium.
Cowboys fans interested in keeping up with the NFC East can mark their calendars for a noon meeting between the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants. Just a few hours later, the Washington Commanders will host the Carolina Panthers. It’ll be a busy weekend of football.
Below you’ll find picks for every Week 7 game — straight up and against the spread — from our panel of columnists, insiders and special contributors.
