Here are some notable games coming up in week 7 (Odds as posted on Yahoo! Sports Oct. 17): Chicago at Philadelphia (-5) - The Eagles were very unimpressive in their 16-9 win Sunday over the 1-5 Jets, especially when you consider that they were coming off of a bye and had two weeks to prepare for New York.
