Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are rolling again, having seen off the Green Bay Packers. Up next is a blockbuster showdown with the Las Vegas Raiders, which headlines week seven action, live on ESPN.
ESPN will deliver another five live NFL matches for week seven across Australia and New Zealand.
The action begins Friday October 23 at 11.15 AEDT, and its crunch time in the NFC East as conference rivals Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants clash.
Philadelphia and New York have experienced poor starts to the season, both sitting 1-4. However, the Cowboys, who currently sit atop the NFC East, are also struggling with just two wins themselves.
A win is crucial for both to close that gap, and defeat on Friday will see the Eagles and Giants dealt a major blow to their hopes of conjuring anything from the 2020 campaign.
Monday will see another massive triple header of NFL action, beginning at 4am AEDT on October 26.
The clash between two undefeated teams kicks off Monday’s matches, as the Pittsburgh Steelers meet the Tennessee Titans.
Both are 5-0 so far in 2020, and in control of their respective AFC North and AFC South conferences. However, this could be an early taste of what is to come around playoff time.
The San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots meet at 7.25am AEDT, with the pair looking to shake from their slumber. The 49ers (3-3) and Patriots (2-3) are yet to find their gear in 2020.
Two of the most storied NFL franchises, who both come with high fan expectations, Monday’s matchup is a crucial for both.
However, the most intriguing game of week seven is at 11.15am AEDT, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers travel to Las Vegas to tackle the Raiders.
Tom Brady overcame Aaron Rodgers in week six, and has the Buccs’ season rolling again. But fresh off a bye, Jon Gruden and his Raiders will look to put a halt to the Tampa Bay optimism.
Las Vegas sent a message to the NFL with their recent victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, and the clash between the two headline makers will be one worth watching.
The week seven matches conclude on Tuesday October 27 at 11.15am AEDT as the Los Angeles Rams welcome the Chicago Bears to Inglewood.
The Bears are sitting atop the NFC North and at 5-1 this season, Chicago are showing they are a contender in 2020.
Los Angeles Rams sit 4-2, and in a competitive conference, know they must keep winning to keep their playoff push alive.
