Only three undefeated teams remain in the NFL, including the 6-0 San Francisco 49ers, who are considered legitimate Super Bowl contenders despite a growing injury list. The 49ers have ruled out receivers Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel along with defensive end Nick Bosa for their game at Atlanta. Quarterback Brock Purdy has thrown 14 touchdowns against two interceptions, though the offense stalled Monday night after Evans left a 23-17 win over Washington.
The Falcons are 0-3 at home, including 0-2 with Michael Penix Jr. starting, but running back Bijan Robinson ranks second in the league with 641 rushing yards. The betting line has dropped from 3.5 to 2.5 points at Circa Sports, with the number 3 potentially returning by Sunday. San Francisco holds a three-game lead in the NFC West and faces a Week 8 bye, reducing pressure to rush injured players back.
The 2-4 Los Angeles Rams visit Las Vegas without receiver Davante Adams, defensive tackles Poona Ford and Kobie Turner, and linebacker Nate Landman. Matthew Stafford may also be without Puka Nacua, who is a game-time decision with a calf injury. The Raiders are 3-3 straight up but 5-1 against the spread, generating 80 quarterback pressures and 15 sacks this season.
Kansas City travels to Seattle as a road underdog, a spot where Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid own a 10-1-1 record against the spread. The Seahawks have lost three of four games, with four of six contests decided by three points or fewer. Seattle running back Kenneth Walker leads the NFL with 665 rushing yards, while quarterback Sam Darnold has thrown seven interceptions.
