NFL Week 7 Picks

This blog might be a little shorter than most. First of all I want to say that I do not like John Farrell as the new Red Sox manager. Yeah I know I'm talking about baseball on the NFL blog. I just don't feel like he is a great manager. He did next to nothing as the Blue Jays manager. Why should that make me feel confident that his return to Boston will be any better? Anyways onto the picks.

Outright Record: 45-39  Spread: 12-10

Bills 31, Titans 20 --- BUF -4 The Titans did just beat the Steelers but they are 0-3 on the road and their defense isn't very good.

Colts 30, Browns 26 --- The Browns are also 0-3 on the road and just got their first win of the season last week. The Colts should be motivated after getting thumped by the Jets.

Packers 27, Rams 23 --- STL + 5 I think the Rams hang around in this game. I know the Pack looked amazing against the Texans last week but they are playing in St. Louis who are 3-0 at home.

Vikings 17, Cardinals 13 --- Vikings return home, where they are 3-0 this year. The Cardinals are playing John Skelton. It's probably going to be a low scoring defensive battle, so whichever team makes fewer mistakes should win.

Giants 34, Redskins 24 --- I think the fact that the Giants lost to the Redskins twice last season will be a huge motivation for Big Blue. The Redskins defense has not played well all season and I think the Giants defensive line should be able to contain RG III.

Bucs 30, Saints 28 --- TB +2 The Bucs are a better team than people think, especially at home. I know the Saints are off a win and a bye and get Jonathan Vilma back somehow (I'm pretty sure he's suspended). I think the Bucs pull off the upset at home.

Cowboys 24, Panthers 21 --- I'm not to sure who wins this one. Whichever QB makes less mistakes will win. Although both QB's have been turnover machines.

Ravens 27, Texans 24 --- Even though the Ravens lost a bunch of players on defense I think they have an emotionally charged game and beat the Texans in Houston.

Raiders 21, Jaguars 14 --- This game should be fun to watch. Not really. Not at all actually.

Patriots 34, Jets 21 --- I don't understand why Rex Ryan always has to open his mouth when they play the Pats. Just shut up and play the game. I also don't see the Patriots losing their second game in a row to a Jets team that isn't awful but they certainly aren't great.

Steelers 31, Bengals 24 --- This is the season for the Steelers plain and simple. They cannot lose this game to fall to 2-4. They are already 0-3 on the road so I'm very nervous. I don't think the Bengals are as good as they were last year but you never know in division games. They better win that's really all I can say. Just win baby.

Bears 27, Lions 24 --- DET +6.5 I do think the Bears are a very good football team. I also think that the Lions have a lot of fight in them so I doubt they will rollover in a Monday Night game. If they can force the fake Jay Cutler to throw a pick or two they should be able to have a chance to win the game.
