After a wild Sunday, we can look ahead to Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season.
We still have a pair of Monday Night Games to follow, but we could be in for a few high-scoring clashes in the ensuing weekend.
The highest total on the board is 49.5, when the Chicago Bears meet the Baltimore Ravens, who should see Lamar Jackson return to action.
The week starts with a matchup between teams floundering of late as the Los Angeles Chargers host the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs have found new life and are 9.5-point favorites over the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football.
