Well, I was 10-4 last week, for a season total of 53-37. Of course, on my best week, A-mac also had her best week, going 11-3. Well, here's hoping that I can keep the spread between us. Week 7!! Let's do it!
Jacksonville @ Kansas City: Jacksonville got absolutely smoked last week, so we know that they are going to want to come out and put their best foot forward. Kansas City is coming off a heartbreaking loss to Houston, a game they really should have been able to put away. But that's what happens to teams while they are learning to win. I'll take KC bouncing back at home in this one.
Philadelphia @ Tennessee: Kevin Kolb is playing very well, and the Titans may have to go back with Kerry Collins again. Not that that is a horrible thing, we know Collins knows how to get things done with that offense. And the Tennessee D is always in people's faces. This has the makings of a very good game, but I'll take Tennessee at home in this one.
Buffalo @ Baltimore: This isn't a tough one at all. I feel bad for Buffalo, they are going to get hammered in this one.
Cleveland @ New Orleans: New Orleans had a great game last week, and now gets another team with absolutely no secondary to speak of. This should be another route for the Saints.
Washington @ Chicago: Yeah, Washington's secondary isn't that great, but they have a very good pass rush, against a really, REALLY bad offensive line. Cutler will get to know Brian Orakpo pretty well during this game. I think we can expect another 7+ sack game for the Bear's offensive line.
Cincinnati @ Atlanta: This could be a good game, here. Cinci is struggling, but it coming off of their bye week. Also, chances are decent we may not see Dunta Robinson this week, as he is still recovering from his mutual concussion that he shared with Desean Jackson last week. That will weaken their secondary a bit. This is one of those swing games. I look for the Bengals to get back to .500 in this game.
Pittsburgh @ Miami: Steelers head into Miami, fresh off of James Harrison's sparsely attended pity party. She Said No had a great game last week, throwing for 3 TDs. Miami's D probably won't let him do that, but the Miami offense is going to have to be at their unpredictable best if they want to have any shot in this game. Again, potential for a hell of a game here, because Miami's offense can keep lots of people guessing, nonetheless, I'll pick the Steelers in this one. I wonder what the odds are that Harrison gets fined again, or suspended after this week is.
San Francisco @ Carolina: The Niners have a chance to win 2 in a row, and this is the team to do it against. Definitely need to keep giving Crabtree a chance to make the big plays, and Carolina doesn't have much of a run D, so that could open things up for play action and such. Niners win 2 in a row, and the heat continues underneath Mike Singletary's rear end.
St. Louis @ Tampa Bay: Hats off to St. Louis this year, they have definitely over-achieved. I don't think anybody expected them to do any better than they did last year, and now they're in playoff discussions (because the NFC west is really weak again). Tampa has done better than expected as well, but has still shown how bad they are at times. St. Louis still has a good running game, and that has really helped keep Sam Bradford comfortable. That will be the key again here, give me the Rams.
Arizona @ Seattle: Arizona is struggling, understandably so. They need to get that chemistry built up again between Anderson, or whoever is quarterbacking this week, and the wide receivers. Seattle is another team overachieving. Nobody expected anything from them, but they are also in playoff discussions. I think the Seahawks keep things going against the Cards.
New England @ San Diego: San Diego is favored in this one, though I'm not terribly sure why. San Diego has played the choke artist all year. Granted, that's all this team has really ever done, but still. These are probably the 2 teams that I like to see lose the most right now. Sadly, in this game, only 1 team can lose. I would love to see them tie, because I can only imagine the fit that Brady would throw after that. Well, Tomara Brady and her (sorry, it's the hair) Pats should win this one.
Oakland @ Denver: Well, Denver should win this game, but they have this weird habit of always looking past the Raiders, even when they are having bad years like this (the broncos) and getting beat by them at home. Again, they should win, but seem to usually find a way to lose. I'll still take the Broncos, but it won't shock me if they choke this one away. I'm still wondering what week they will quit on McD this year.
Minnesota @ Green Bay: Well, we're still waiting for the Packers to be the clear cut NFC leaders that everybody expected this year. I think they need to give themselves more balance before that will happen. Favre is old, and nowhere near as good. He will hurt himself and his team in this game once again. Packers.
NY Giants @ Dallas: I have the perfect solution for how the Cowboys can avoid those stupid celebration penalties they seem to keep giving themselves. Don't score any touchdowns. This team continues to beat itself, and then wonder why they lose. Until they grow up, they'll just continue to spiral downwards. And the G-men have definitely risen back up to where they should have been all year. Look for Romo to get beat around in this one, and for a good Giants victory.
Here goes another good week!! Bring it on A-Mac!!
The Broncos game hurt my heart.
ReplyDeleteFor the Chargers, I couldn't believe the rookie who put the ball down when the ball was still in play! Ugh!!!! I was still rooting for them but not surprised the lost.
Sad upset with New Orleans.
