Week 7 of the NFL season perhaps presents the most difficult slate to make predictions on so far in the 2020 NFL season.

After rushing for 212 yards in a Week 6 victory, Derrick Henry and the 5-0 Tennessee Titans will welcome the 5-0 Pittsburgh Steelers to Nissan Stadium. Seemingly something has to give. While Henry has been on a historic tear in terms of rushing yards over the last calendar year, opponents are averaging just 66.2 rushing yards per game against the ferocious Steelers defense. Depending upon where you look, the Titans are either one or one-and-a-half point favorites in this matchup.

Elsewhere, the 2-3 New England Patriots will welcome the resurgent San Francisco 49ers to Gillette Stadium in Week 7. While the Patriots were upset by the Denver Broncos in Week 6, the previously-left-for-dead 49ers revived their season with a 24-16 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football. Former Patriot Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers are slight underdogs in New England this Sunday.

Before we get to our full slate of picks for Week 7, here are our records so far this season:
