NFL Picks Week 7

I am still baffled about my Eagles 72-0 prediction over the Raiders not coming to fruition. It is amazing that a supposed Super Bowl contender can lose against a team that 7 days earlier, looked as lost on a football field as the Angola National Basketball team in 1992 when they went on the court against The Dream Team.

Should that loss on my overall count as 2 losses? 3? Maybe 5??? Man, that was awful.

Anyway, here are my Week 7 picks:

Indianapolis Colts 54, St. Louis Rams 10 - This is the ultimate Survivor League pick. Whoever already used the Colts is crying on their pillow. Whoever plays Fantasy Football is dreading the idea of their opponents having Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne, and/or Dallas Clark. Not going to be pretty...

Chicago Bears 24, Cincinnati Bengals 16 - I was severely on that Bengals Bangwagon from Day 1, but two things in this make me lean towards the Bears.

1. I do not see the Bears losing two straight.

2. I did not like how the Texans passing attack just toyed with the Bengals. Jay Cutler has the speed at the WR's to burn them the same way.

New England Patriots 66, Tampa Bay Bucs 10 - On the flight to London this week, I would put hard cash on the line that Commish Roger Goodell was calling Bill Belichick with the following message.

"Pleassse do not run up the score! Make this game look marketable to the Euros. I beg of you, this could set us back five years in Europe."

Think Belichick cares? No, I did not think so. He will probaly give the playcall in the 4th quarter to Tom Brady to run playaction pass, and hit Randy Moss with a 75 yard TD.

San Francisco 49ers 23, Houston Texans 20 - Loss, Win, Loss, Win, Loss, Win. Guess what comes next for the Texans? The single biggest enigma in the NFL. This team should be 5-1. I also cannot see Mike Singletary off a blowout and a bye get ran off the field again.

Green Bay Packers 49, Cleveland Browns 6 - Do you expect me to predict that the Browns, with all of their dysfunction, moronic Head Coach, and a dozen players probaly out with "the flu" are going to make this a reasonable game? Better chance of looking at your mirror, and Jesus looking back at you.

Kansas City Chiefs 27, San Diego Chargers 20 - Yes, you heard this one here first. The QB on Army can throw against this Chargers defense. Matt Cassel is actually not playing bad at all. On the plane ride home, someone tosses Norv Turner's useless body out the opened door. See ya Norv!

Pittsburgh Steelers 38, Minnesota Vikings 20 - Hmmmm. 24th ranked Pass defense, with their best, and only good DB, Antoine Winfield out, against the 2nd ranked passing offense in the NFL. This is the only stat you need to know that the Steelers are going to win. The margin of victory is because Adrian Peterson is going up against the first ranked rushing defense.

Carolina Panthers 24, Buffalo Bills 9 - Let me get this straight. The Bills gave up over 320 yards rushing last week to the Jets, and they are going to somehow stop D'Angelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart? They give up 250 more yards on the ground, but this time, the Bills do not weasel out a victory.

Sidenote to Jake Delhomme: Your star WR is about to go ballistic. Either throw him the ball and make him feel like the moronic crybaby superstar that his image makes him believe he is, or keep your helmet on when on the sidelines. Remember, he has a tendency to smack a teammate up.

Dallas Cowboys 24, Atlanta Falcons 17 - The only reason why the pick is the Cowboys is simple. They are home after a bye. Go take a look at the teams records this season when playing after a Bye.....

New York Jets 19, Oakland Raiders 0 - If Mark Sanchez throws the ball more than 20 times this week, the media should be roasting someone. The Raiders cannot stop the run, and that all the Jets did last week.

Does anyone remember a time when a team actually ran for 300 yards on the ground and lost? Sickening.

The Jets defense is pissed as well. They really should make the Jamarcus Russell-Ryan Leaf comparisons alot more interesting after this game.

Miami Dolphins 31, New Orleans Saints 30 - UPSET SPECIAL! Again, a home team playing off a bye. Miami is going to shove the Wildcat down the Saints throats and their best defense will be their time of possession.

New York Giants 38, Arizona Cardinals 17 - There is no way in my mind that the Giants will lose at home, after getting embarassed the week before, playing a soft Cardinals team. Remember the Cardinals traveling to the East Coast last season? They got killed the Jets and Eagles, and lost to the Panthers. Plus, after not touching Drew Brees last week, I suspect Kurt Warner is going to decked about 15 times.

Last Week: 7-7

Season: 56-33
