Amazingly, there are still five undefeated teams left in action in the NFL, and two of them will have the chance to continue their marches towards perfection in Week 7 while the Packers, Bengals and Broncos all have their bye weeks.

GAME OF THE WEEK
Thanks to the fact that there are so many question marks at the quarterback position in Week 7, there aren't a lot of betting lines which have been opened up yet. In fact, six of the 14 games still haven't debuted betting lines as of yet as of Sunday night.
That said, of the games which are on the board this evening, the one we'd pick as the game of the week would be the Texans and the Dolphins.
It’s a tough sell for sure in this one, but the winner of this game is suddenly going to be right back in the thick of the fight for a playoff berth in the AFC. Houston enters this week just a game back of the Colts in the AFC South, while Miami and its new coach Dan Campbell just ripped apart Tennessee last week and looks like an entirely different team after its bye week and after firing Joe Philbin.
This is where we're going to see just how legitimate the Dolphins are, though. They should win this game by all accounts. Ryan Tannehill has another lousy secondary to pick on, and though the defense is going to have its hands full with Arian Foster and DeAndre Hopkins, it's not like facing Brian Hoyer is the toughest challenge in the NFL. Playoff teams will beat teams like Houston, and that -5.5 spread in favor of Miami suggests that the oddsmakers believe the hosts have a fighting chance.
WEEK 7 NFL ODDS NOTES
-The biggest opening favorite on the Week 7 odds is Arizona. The Cards are -7 at home against Baltimore on Monday Night Football, and most believe they're going to get back on track after a somewhat surprising loss on the road against Pittsburgh last week. That said, keep in mind that New England is almost certainly going to open up as a bigger favorite against the Jets at home when that line opens. Opening numbers in Las Vegas suggest the Pats to start off the week at -9.
-The highest posted total of the week thus far is out in the desert, where the Ravens and Cardinals have been tabbed to get to 49 points. There will be higher numbers for sure on the board, most notably the games between the Colts and Saints or the Cowboys and Giants, if not the Patriots and Jets, too. But for the time being, this is the highest total to try to beat, and it could creep into the 50s by the time kickoff rolls around.
-The lowest total of the week thus far is at 41 between the Seahawks and the 49ers. These two almost always play low-scoring games if you look at their history, and neither offense has been gangbusters by any stretch of the imagination in 2015.
-Of the eight games which have point spreads posted already for Week 7, three of them feature road favorites. Atlanta is the biggest of the bunch at -5.5, a number which could end up going up if Marcus Mariota's MRI on his knee on Monday comes back with any legitimate issues.
-More on the Falcons… This is just the second time this year they've been favored by more than four points. They failed to cover against Washington in an overtime win two weeks ago at -7.5. The last time Atlanta was favored on the road by more than a field goal and covered was back in 2011 on the road against the hapless Colts, who were transitioning between Andrew Luck and Peyton Manning. They won that day 31-7.
