A pair of 4-2 teams, and potential Super Bowl contenders, are set to meet on “Monday Night Football” in Week 7.

The Ravens and Buccaneers will match up in southern Florida, both with momentum on their side. For Tampa Bay, that momentum comes from its offensive explosion in a 51-27 win over the Saints in Week 6. Behind a revitalized Baker Mayfield and a deep run game, the Buccaneers rank second in the league in points per game (29.7) entering Sunday of Week 7.

Mayfield has been building a first-half MVP case as he continues to sling the ball around in Tampa Bay’s high-powered offense. Through six games, the former Heisman Trophy winner has 1,489 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions on 70.9% completion, while also rushing for 136 yards and two scores. The 29-year-old has continued to excel with the Buccaneers after leading the team to a playoff win in 2023 and earning a contract extension in the offseason.

One of the few players ahead of Mayfield in the early MVP race, though, is Lamar Jackson. After taking home the award in 2023, Jackson has been just as dominant so far this season; he has 1,529 passing yards, 10 passing touchdowns and two interceptions with 403 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground.

The pairing between Jackson and RB Derrick Henry has also been just as dominant as many expected. The former Titans running back leads the NFL with his 704 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns, looking just as explosive in purple and black as he did in Tennessee. Baltimore also currently finds itself on a four-game win streak, emerging as a top threat to win the AFC North.

Both teams in this Monday night matchup boast talented offenses led by their star quarterbacks. Between Tampa Bay’s air attack and Baltimore’s ground attack, “Monday Night Football” could wind up being a high-scoring affair in Week 7.
