Sunday NFL Football: Week 7 early games thread

It’s Week 7 across the NFL, and we’re treated to seven matchups for early kickoffs on Sunday. Four teams — Packers, Raiders, Steelers, Seahawks — are on their bye week. Here’s what we’re working with for the noon games, as the Titans and Chargers have already played.

• New England Patriots (4-2) at Chicago Bears (3-2)
• Buffalo Bills (2-4) at Indianapolis Colts (1-5)
• Houston Texans (3-3) at Jacksonville Jaguars (3-3)
• Detroit Lions (2-3) at Miami Dolphins (4-2)
• Minnesota Vikings (3-2-1) at New York Jets (3-3)
• Carolina Panthers (3-2) at Philadelphia Eagles (3-3)
• Cleveland Browns (2-3-1) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-3)

As the Saints play later this afternoon, the NFC South could get interesting with the Panthers facing an interesting road test at Philly and the Bucs looking to rebound at home. The Falcons won’t play until Monday Night Football. Who will you be watching and rooting for before New Orleans takes the field?
