Itching to watch an underdog try to overcome the odds or triumph against adversity? Simply looking to pass the time reading another NFL.com article while stuck in your cube? Nick Shook offers a bead on three us-against-the-world scenarios to track entering Week 7 of the 2022 NFL season. The order below is determined by confidence rankings, from No. 1 (most confident) to No. 3 (least confident).
Start spreading the news, folks: New York football is back!
The Giants and Jets are a combined 9-3 through six weeks, a record none of us can honestly say we saw coming at the start of the season. Both squads appear in my picks for Week 7, because they’re both on fire. They’re also matching up with teams that are struggling to find their footing at this point in the season.
Add in the Bills’ success, and the entire state — the team that plays within New York’s borders plus the two that call East Rutherford, New Jersey, home — is on a roll. I don’t see them slowing down this weekend.
These are the underdogs I believe in most to score upsets in Week 7.
