NFL Week 7 bold predictions: Cardinals upset Broncos, Bijan Robinson dominates 49ers

Key Points:

• The Chicago Bears defeated the New England Patriots 30-24 in Week 7, despite allowing a rare "Hail Mary" touchdown pass from Patriots QB Drake Maye, marking a unique late-half scoring play in recent NFL history.
• Minnesota Vikings' aggressive defense, led by Brian Flores, remains dominant, but Colts QB Daniel Jones is predicted to have a clean game with multiple touchdowns against them, aided by his prior experience practicing against this defense.
• Bijan Robinson is expected to rush for over 150 yards against the undefeated San Francisco 49ers, breaking their strong run defense and becoming the first to surpass 100 rushing yards against them in 2026.
• The Arizona Cardinals are projected to upset the Denver Broncos without scoring a touchdown, following their Week 6 win over the Rams achieved solely through field goals, capitalizing on Broncos QB Bo Nix's limited passing threat.
• New York Giants' new starting QB J.J. McCarthy is predicted to avoid sacks against Texans' top pass rusher Will Anderson Jr., showing improvement from his previous season and benefiting from a simpler offensive scheme.
• The Miami Dolphins, winless and struggling offensively in 2026, are expected to take their first lead of the season against the New York Jets, exploiting the Jets' poor red zone offense and late-half defensive lapses.
