Garrett Podell· Oct 23, 2026
For Week 7 of the 2026 season, Podell predicts Daniel Jones plays a clean, turnover-free game against Minnesota's top-ranked defense, Bijan Robinson rushes for 150-plus yards against the undefeated 49ers, and the Cardinals upset the Broncos at home without scoring a touchdown.
“Bijan Robinson, who enters Week 7 leading the NFL with 785 yards from scrimmage, will go off for 150-plus rushing yards against San Francisco.”
