The NFL season is really beginning to heat up, with six rounds of fixtures already played up and down the United States of America.
In the early hours of Friday morning UK time, Gameweek 7 gets underway as the Cincinnati Bengals host the Pittsburgh Steelers in what should be a fiery AFC clash.
The seventh installment of matches promises yet more drama and high-quality action, and with only a few days to go before all it gets underway, we have taken a look at the fixtures to provide you with three online betting tips.

Cincinnati Bengals vs Pittsburgh Steelers: Anytime touchdown scorer – D.K Metcalf @ 2.30
The first match of Gameweek 7 is a battle between the current top two in the AFC North, though the Bengals are only second due to the poor form of both the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns (each of whom are 1-5). The Bengals are 2-4, while the Steelers are looking good with a solid record of 4-1. So we are backing the Steelers to come through this tricky away trip and secure another crucial victory, with wide receiver Metcalf playing a vital role. The 27-year-old sensation has already recorded four touchdowns in his five NFL appearances this season, the highest total in the Steelers squad. The stats suggest this selection represents great value, with the potential to start the NFL weekend by more-than-doubling your money!
Carolina Panthers to beat New York Jets @ 1.71
This season really has been one to forget for the Jets thus far. The side from New York are yet to record a single victory in the NFL, suffering six consecutive defeats. The Jets were beaten 11-13 by the Denver Broncos in the second NFL London game staged last Sunday, and any lingering hopes of reaching the play-offs are quickly being extinguished. So this match represents a fantastic opportunity for the Panthers, taking on an opponent who is so low on confidence at this stage of a season. The Panthers are now 3-3 after beating the Dallas Cowboys 30-27 last Sunday, and we are tipping them to take that record to 4-3. And if you are still undecided, remember the Jets’ last two home games at the MetLife Stadium saw them lose 10-30 to the Buffalo Bills and 22-37 to the Cowboys.
Kansas City Chiefs vs Las Vegas Raiders: Points Handicap – Kansas City Chiefs – 12.5 @ 1.89
It has been a mixed start to the season for Patrick Mahomes and his Chiefs side, with three wins and three defeats. The Chiefs even lost at home to the Philadelphia Eagles (17-20) in Gameweek 2, but have since recorded two convincing wins at the Arrowhead Stadium vs the Baltimore Ravens (37-20) and Detroit Lions (30-17). And the Raiders’ last away match in the NFL saw them beaten 40-6 by the Indianapolis Colts, while the side from Las Vegas were also defeated 41-24 in Washington by the Commanders on September 21. If you had placed a -12.5 handicap bet on the home side in each of those four fixtures, it would have come in all four times, hence why we think history will repeat itself on Sunday.
