Philadelphia Eagles crystal ball: Every result of every Week 7 NFL game
Houston Texans (4-2) at Indianapolis Colts (3-2) (Upset Alert)
Venue and weather: Lucas Oil Stadium, Sunny, 64°F at kickoff
Prediction: Welcome to a battle between two old rivals who are, as fate would have it the teams that represent the two losses on the Kansas City Chiefs win-loss total. This series has been dominated by the Indianapolis Colts. That’s mostly because of the work of one Peyton Manning, but on Sunday, the Colts are favored to again take the measure of the Houston Texans.
Pencil in the upset here as the Texans’ star signal-caller Deshaun Watson continues to demonstrate why he’s a legitimate MVP candidate. Score: Texans 27, Colts 24

Arizona Cardinals (2-3-1) at New York Giants (2-4)
Venue and weather: MetLife Stadium, Cloudy, 58°F at kickoff
Prediction: Ten days ago, the New York Giants gave it all they had versus the best team in the NFL. They didn’t win, but if we haven’t learned anything else from the strange history that is the Giants and New England Patriots rivalry, we’ve learned this.
Sometimes, in a loss, the Giants tend to see how good that they can be by using the Pats are their measuring sticks. Expect a nice showing by a New York team playing an Arizona Cardinals team that’s traveling across the country and isn’t even as good as their average record indicates. Score: Cards 17, Big Blue 24
