Here are five times on upset alert for NFL Week 7 of the 2018 season.

From the Carolina Panthers to the Jacksonville Jaguars, there were a few teams that finished on the wrong side of major upsets last weekend, providing football fans with plenty of excitement over what could be in store for NFL Week 7. As always, this weekend will be filled with plenty of teams that could become the next victims of a major upset, which is why they will be on alert come Sunday.

Take a look at the Los Angeles Rams for instance, who happen to be the only unbeaten team remaining in the league after the Kansas City Chiefs fell to the New England Patriots on Sunday night. After winning their first three games by double-digits, the Rams have seen a few close calls over their previous three outings, but a win is a win, no matter what. So as long as Los Angeles continues to hold on for key wins towards the end of games, this is all that really matters the most.

Whether the Rams have what it takes to squeeze out another close win this Sunday against a familiar face in the San Francisco 49ers, only time will tell since Kyle Shanahan’s team came awfully close to upsetting the Green Bay Packers this past Monday night.

Along with Los Angeles, here are a few other teams worth monitoring when it comes to potentially being on upset alert for Week 7, starting off with a Patriots team taking on one of the biggest surprise contenders so far in the Chicago Bears.
