🏈 NFL Week 6 Recap & Week 7 Preview: Somebody Call the Upset Police
The upsets are rolling in, the fans are spiraling, and the NFLverse is once again a beautiful mess. After Week 6, the chatter’s louder than a tailgate speaker — and yes, the Chiefs are back in the win column, so naturally everyone’s dusting off the “the refs are crooked” conspiracy boards. 🙄 Deep breaths, people. Sometimes Mahomes just Mahomes.
Lions 17, Chiefs 30
Detroit started strong but fizzled faster than a halftime sparkler. The Lions looked solid in the first quarter — then the Chiefs found their rhythm, and that was that. Every time KC wins, social media becomes a swamp of slow-motion replays, zoomed-in whistles, and referee slander. Let’s just call it what it is: the Chiefs played better. End of story. (Cue the angry emoji reacts.)—
Raiders 20, Titans 10
Finally, something to cheer about in Raider Nation! Vegas actually looked confident out there — spreading the ball, finding rhythm, and holding the Titans to just ten points. Sure, Tennessee isn’t exactly top-tier this year, but a win’s a win, and this one felt steady. We’re calling this progress.—
Steelers 23, Browns 9
Pittsburgh came back from their bye like they’d been waiting to hit someone. The Browns’ offense looked like it forgot what points are, while the Steelers’ D kept turning up the pressure. It wasn’t flashy, but it was efficient — and honestly, that’s classic Steelers football.—
Commanders 24, Bears 25
This one stings. Washington had it — had it! — and let it slip away in the final minutes. A one-point loss is brutal, but what’s worse is how good the Commanders looked for most of the game. If moral victories counted in the standings, they’d be undefeated.—
Rams 17, Ravens 3
What a statement game from LA. The Rams’ defense showed up and shut it all down, making the Ravens look like they forgot their own playbook. Baltimore’s offense just couldn’t get moving — not even at home. It wasn’t pretty, but it was powerful, and the Rams are quietly looking like a team no one wants to play right now.
🔮 Week 7 Preview
Week 7’s lineup has “weird energy” written all over it. The matchups look predictable, which, as we’ve learned, means absolutely nothing. Somebody call the upset police before kickoff.
Lions vs Buccaneers
Tampa Bay comes in hot, but this is a prove-it week for Detroit. Expect a scrappy game with a few momentum swings. My money’s would be on the Lions, but I’m a Baker Mayfield fan – so this one only goes the lions way, if the lions show up.
Raiders @ Chiefs
Divisional drama. Mahomes vs. Maxx Crosby. Allegations of ref favoritism. It’s all here. The Raiders have heart, but Kansas City at Arrowhead? That’s a tall order. Expect fireworks — and at least one unnecessary slow-motion replay of a holding call that wasn’t.—
Steelers @ Bengals
Divisional matchups are always personal, and this one feels spicy. The Bengals have been inconsistent, but the Steelers’ defense can capitalize on that. If they keep their composure, they’ve got this.—
Commanders @ Cowboys
The Commanders can’t afford another close heartbreak. The Cowboys are still trying to find their rhythm post-Parsons-trade, and this could be the perfect storm for an upset. If Washington can stay disciplined, this might be their bounce-back moment.—
Rams @ Jaguars
Full disclosure: I cannot with the Jaguars. Their QB bugs me — it’s the hair, it’s the smug grin, it’s the live TV nose-picking, and it’s all too much. But personal bias aside, the Rams are the better-looking team here (in every sense). Their defense is sharp, their offense is clicking, and I’m all in for LA shutting down Jacksonville’s mid-tier swagger.

🎯 Evie’s Picks – Week
Week 7’s got chaos written all over it, but here’s where I’m placing my bets (metaphorically… mostly)
Buccaneers over Lions — call it a gut feeling (and a little Baker Mayfield faith).
Chiefs over Raiders — yes, again. No, I’m not arguing about the refs.
Steelers over Bengals — defense wins this one.
Commanders over Cowboys — call it wishful thinking or divine intervention.
Rams over Jaguars — because I said so.
✨ Final Thoughts
Week 6 reminded us why the NFL is chaos in shoulder pads — and Week 7 looks no calmer. Between upset chatter, fan meltdowns, and everyone accusing refs of bias, it’s safe to say the league is in midseason form. Somebody please call the upset police — because this is getting out of hand..
