After some shock results in the last round of fixtures, there are no unbeaten teams remaining in the NFL heading into Week 7 of the season.
The Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers suffered surprising first defeats of the campaign but both are backed here to respond at the first time of asking in this four-game accumulator.
- Buffalo Bills to beat New England Patriots
- Kansas City Chiefs to cover the spread against Los Angeles Chargers
- Philadelphia Eagles to beat Miami Dolphins
- San Francisco 49ers to cover the spread against Minnesota Vikings
Bills @ Patriots
There’s a divisional showdown to kick-start this four-fold accumulator, with the Buffalo Bills travelling to Foxborough to take on AFC East rivals the New England Patriots on Sunday.
Having had years of living in New England’s shadow during the Tom Brady era at Gillette Stadium, it’s now the Bills who rule the roost in the division.
Since 2020, Buffalo have been having the better of their meetings with New England, as the Bills have won six of the last seven encounters with the Pats
Currently on a four-game winning streak against New England, the Bills will be confident of coming away from Gillette Stadium with the win this weekend.
Buffalo were given a scare last time out when star quarterback Josh Allen picked up a shoulder injury against the New York Giants but he’s expected to play in Sunday’s grudge match.
With the Pats currently on a three-game losing streak going into Week 7, expect the Bills to add to New England’s woes this weekend on their own patch.

Chargers @ Chiefs
Reigning champions Kansas City Chiefs will be looking to make it six wins on the spin when they host the Los Angeles Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.
After a shock 21-20 defeat on the opening night of the season at the hands of the Detroit Lions, the Chiefs have responded well to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars, Chicago Bears, New York Jets, Minnesota Vikings and the Denver Broncos.
Those five-straight wins have left the Chiefs sitting pretty in their familiar place at the top of the AFC West as they prepare to travel to LA this weekend for a divisional showdown.
The Chargers find themselves in third place in the AFC West and will be determined to try and keep within touching distance of the frontrunners.
That will be easier said than done against Andy Reid’s side, with the Chiefs winning 15 of their last 18 meetings with the Chargers in a very one-sided rivalry.
Expect Kansas City to maintain their winning streak on Sunday while covering the spread against a Chargers side that are 2-3 going into this game.

Dolphins @ Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles have failed to hit top gear this season but few would have expected their winning start to the campaign to end at the New York Jets last weekend.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts, who guided Philly to the Super Bowl last season, had a rare night to forget, as the Eagles talisman threw three interceptions on the Jets’ way to a 20-14 victory at MetLife Stadium.
The Eagles under head coach Nick Sirianni have made a habit of responding to set-backs in the past and they will need to produce their performance of the season to overcome a talented Miami Dolphins side at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.
Ahead of the game, Philly have been busy in midweek and secured the services of wide receiver Julio Jones on a one-year contract.
The seven-time Pro Bowl will be reunited with former Tennessee Titans teammate A.J. Brown and, along with Devonta Smith, will add to Hurts’ impressive weapons on offense.
Miami, who like the Eagles are on 5-1 for the season, have impressed on offense this term and will be full of confidence as they head to Philly this week.
Scoring 223 points at an average of 37 a game in their first six outings, the Dolphins have shown they are capable of causing defenses serious problems.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been enjoying an impressive season, throwing 14 touchdowns already in six outings.
The showdown between Tagovailoa and Hurts will be an intriguing one that will go a long way in deciding who leaves the Linc with the W on Sunday.
Philadelphia have a strong home record and, having responded to setbacks in the past, the Eagles can bounce back against the Dolphins this weekend.

49ers @ Vikings
Much like the Eagles, the San Francisco 49ers were also handed their first defeat of the season in surprising circumstances in Week 6, with a 19-17 defeat on the road at the Cleveland Browns.
Few would have expected the 49ers winning run to be ended by the Browns, especially after they had put the Dallas Cowboys to the sword with a 42-10 thrashing in their previous outing.
The 49ers have a good chance to get back in the saddle and pick up a win at the first time of asking, as they travel to the U.S Bank Stadium to face an inconsistent Minnesota Vikings side in the Monday Night Football.
The Vikings’ 2-4 record highlights their inconsistency and they might well struggle to contain a 49ers offense orchestrated by quarterback Brock Purdy.
Stepping up to be first-choice QB on a regular basis this season, Purdy has impressed, throwing 10 touchdown passes already this term.
Running back Christian McCaffrey has also been a standout performer for San Francisco, with the former Carolina Panthers star running in seven touchdowns for 553 yards so far.
With Minnesota already losing to the Buccaneers, Eagles, Chargers and Chiefs this season, the 49ers should come away from Minneapolis with the victory, while also covering the spread against a Vikings’ defense that could struggle on the night.
