Gambling.com's Week 7 NFL Power Rankings: Chiefs Now Top

Six weeks into the NFL season and the playoff picture is beginning to take shape, with three teams still undefeated: the Chiefs, 49ers, and Vikings.

The Dolphins and Chargers remain winless entering Week 7, but who sits at the top of our Power Rankings, based on each team's offensive and defensive ranking in the league, a true reflection of how balanced teams are?

Where is your team?

Gambling.com's NFL Power Rankings

The Biggest Climbers

Three teams are on the rise in this week’s NFL power rankings: the Panthers (3-2) and Browns (4-2) lead their respective divisions, and the Steelers have won two straight heading into their Paris game.

Panthers Climb 6 Places

The Carolina Panthers returned from their bye week to improve their record to 3-2 with a 25-14 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, who were without their starting quarterback Jalen Hurts.

The Panthers sit atop the NFC South after back-to-back wins, and they can add to Tampa Bay's woes with a third successive win this weekend.

Quarterback Bryce Young is playing the best football of his career, while Chuba Hubbard has a ground game to complement their air attack.

Check out our BetBuilder AI predictions for Buccaneers-Panthers this weekend:

Cleveland Climb 6 Spots

Cleveland Browns have been one of the surprise teams of the season, and they sit at the top of the AFC North with a 4-2 record.

When Todd Monken named Deshaun Watson his starting quarterback, the decision raised a few eyebrows, but the QB has thrown 7 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.

The Browns can take another step towards securing their first division title since 1989 when they travel to the 1-5 Titans this weekend.

Check out our predictions for Browns-Titans this weekend:

Steelers & Rodgers Rise 5 Places

After a bumpy start to the season, Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers are on a roll after winning their last two games.

Like Cleveland, they have a perfect 3-0 record in the AFC North, and this weekend they take on the New Orleans Saints in the first-ever NFL regular-season game in Paris.

It hasn't been plain sailing for Rodgers, who has thrown five interceptions, but his 12 touchdown passes have the Steelers in contention for a place in the playoffs.

Check out our predictions for Steelers-Saints in Paris this weekend:

The Biggest Fallers

The Jets (down 10 spots to 24th after losing to the Patriots) are favorites to bounce back at home against the 0-5 Dolphins, the Texans slipped in the rankings despite beating the Jaguars at Wembley, and the Commanders dropped four places after another clock-management stumble in their loss to the 49ers.

The Jets Have Plummeted 10 Places

The New York Jets were the biggest movers this week, but, sadly for them, they fell 10 places, from 14th to 24th, following their 26-19 loss in New England.

The good news for Gang Green is they host the 0-5 Miami Dolphins this weekend, which should see them climb back up our rankings. The Jets are favorites to win on NFL betting apps.

Both teams have struggled to score points this season, with the Jets ranked No. 27 at 18.7 points per game and the Dolphins No. 31 at 14 points per game.

Check out our predictions for Dolphins-Jets this weekend:

Texans Tumble Despite Win

Teams usually move up our rankings after a win, but that's not the case with the Houston Texans, who came away from Wembley with a 34-31 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

This weekend, DeMeco Ryan's team hosts the 3-2-1 New York Giants, who have yet to win on the road this season.

Check out our predictions for Giants-Texans this weekend:

Commanders Down 4 Places

The Washington Commanders' clock management was once again called into question in their 23-17 loss in San Francisco, a game they could have won.

Head coach Dan Quinn has the bye week to figure out how best to call plays under pressure; knowing what down it is will help.


It promises to be another exciting week of action in the NFL, but how will the rankings look after the final snap? Check out our rankings next week to see if your team climbed a few places or dropped.
