There is no such thing as a guaranteed win in the NFL, but in the same breath, there are some matchups that are lopsided enough to where you can clearly predict what is going to happen. Last week, though, most of us probably thought that the Los Angeles Rams weren't going to have any trouble with the Arizona Cardinals, but, alas, the Cardinals pulled off the upset.

That won't stop us from making some bold predictions about a trio of teams we believe are guaranteed to win in Week 7. Yes, 'trap games' are a thing, and a ball bouncing a certain way can alter the outcome of the game, but there are a few games where the better team will win.

Let's dive into the three matchups here and talk about why those teams are guaranteed to win.

These three teams won't have to sweat anything in Week 7

Cleveland Browns (@ Tennessee Titans)

The Cleveland Browns being guaranteed to win a football game?

What year is it?

Well, it's 2026, and the Browns are a good team. They're certainly not great and not at all close to being a Super Bowl contender, but this is a good football team currently sitting in first place in the AFC North. It is hard to believe, but whatever Todd Monken has done thus far is working.

Deshaun Watson is absolutely a flawed player, but he's played rather well this year and is giving his team a chance to win. The revamped offensive line is holding up enough, and the defense is holding their own.

The Browns are definitely a year away from truly being a team we can think of in a higher regard, but the team finishing 9-8 or 10-7 this year is on the table given how they've played thus far. The Tennessee Titans, on the other hand, are a bottom-3 team in the sport.

The Titans were able to beat the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6, which prompted the Colts to fire Chris Ballard, but the Titans came into Week 6 with an 0-5 record for a reason - this team doesn't do much of anything well and are seeing second-year quarterback Cam Ward doing nothing of note.

There is also a real chance that the coaching staff the Titans brought in is the wrong group. Robert Saleh is unquestionably a good defensive mind, but his ability as a head coach is subpar.

The Titans are headed toward another lost season, and, shockingly, the Browns could find themselves in a playoff spot. Cleveland is going to win this one.
