NFL Week 7



Another week at 9-5. Not bad. it's above .500, but there are some teams that should've won (ahem) Giants, Ravens, and most importantly FALCONS. How dare you lose. You sonsabitches. It's okay, everyone will finish with at least one loss this season.


Thoughts from Week 6:

1. Might the Falcons have been exposed. The Saints, who are not good by the way, exposed your team. Badly.
2.  Seahawks. Sup. Like. Sup with you? You guys okay?
3. I am excited to see a potential Bengals, Patriots matchup at some point.
4. Lions, you broke my heart. How dare you win. But you beat the Bears, so it's all good.
5. Bills, you are 8-8 at best.
6. Browns, impressive even in defeat. You guys, I feel bad for you guys. 
7. Patriots/Jets probably best game of the week. 
8. Dez Bryant, don't rush back man. I know you have that fire burning inside of you. but like, take it easy. I fucking love you, man.88 for life.


9. DeMarco Murray weekly jab. You should've stayed behind Dallas' massive line.
10. Sorry it took so long, but Panthers, you are impressive. 
11. Wasn't the 49 I thought, but the Patriots won a great game.
12. The Colts, the fuck you thinking with that "trick" play.

Top 5: Lombardi Division

1. Patriots
2. Packers
3. Bengals
4. Panthers
5. Falcons









Bottom 5: Participation Ribbon Division

32. Lions - Won, but hanging down here.
31. Jaguars
30. Texans
29. Titans
28. Chiefs


Honorable mention: Seahawks for losing two games they should have won in a row in the fourth quarter.



Coaches on the hot seat:

1. Bill O'Brien
2. Mike Pettine - Sure they played great in defeat, but they are still losing and probably won't make the playoffs.
3. Jim Caldwell


Ingersoll Pick of the Week: Team Guaranteed to get that W

Arizona Cardinals - Should be a bird fight, but the Ravens aren't exactly "good" and lost to the lowly 49ers last week. Cardinals lost to the Steelers, but they are going to come out flapping.


BYE WEEK Bears, Bengals, Packers, Broncos

Thursday October 22nd 8:30PM EST

(CBS/NFL) Seahawks (2-4) at 49ers (2-4) - For the first time in a long time, I'm afraid to pick the Seahawks. They come into San Francisco with a 0-3 road record. I can't remember the last time they were bad on the road. Funny thing is, the Super Bowl team that nearly won it all, is back intact. Is it that they have been playing over their talent and it's catching up to them, or are they as a collective still in a hangover. 49ers are bad, and this is one of those division games where the teams are going to battle hard. Seahawks come out on top though, because they are better on both sides of the ball than the 49ers. Seahawks 31, 49ers 20



Sunday October 25th 9:30AM EST

Wembley Stadium - Only streaming on Yahoo By the Way

(YAHOO) Bills (3-3) at Jaguars (1-5) - I felt the Bills defense could have been special this season. Defensively. Then Tyrod Taylor played lights out most of the season, and I felt they could have been a really good team. Meh. average. They are not good and keep playing down or up to their competition. Jaguars are right where they normally at. Vying for that number one draft pick. Congrats to London for getting the Jaguars for one game each season? Either way, I think the Jaguars will lose, but not before putting up some points. Blake Bortles, he's worth an outside fantasy pickup. Kid isn't have bad. Bills 27, Jaguars 24

1PM EST

(FOX) Buccaneers (2-3) at Redskins (2-4)  - Redskins could have a good game this week. Jameis Winston seems like he's on one of those weeks where he could throw three or four picks. Redskins play that opportunistic defense. Look for them to attack the Rookie. Redskins 27, Bucs 13

(FOX) Falcons (5-1) at Titans (1-4) - I fully expect the Falcons to get back on track after their loss last week. They need to score early and set the tempo. Mariotta is one of those QB's that if he can get in a rhythm they could put the Falcons in a deep hole. Be honest, the Falcons don't have a great secondary. So they need to stop him on third down or it could be a long day. Falcons 21, Titans 10

(FOX) Saints (2-4) at Colts (3-3) - Colts need to play better. They will win that sorry AFC south and get into the playoffs and lose. They should open that offense up against the Saints though. Colts 34, Saints 17

(FOX) Vikings (3-2) at Lions (1-5) - The Lions are one of those teams that could easily be 3-2 or even 4-1, but because bad calls and a few bad breaks they are 1-5. Won't make the playoffs, but they can certainly improve to say 8-8 on the season. Dug too big of a hole. the Vikings are spotty. They play good in spurts. AP is still a force, but they don't have the QB to elevate them to contender. Lions squeak by.  Lions 24, Vikings 21

(CBS) Steelers (4-2) at Chiefs (1-5) - I am pretty sure the Chiefs want to hit that reset button on the season. this beating they are about to get will make them remember that. Steelers 31, Chiefs 10

(CBS) Browns (2-4) at Rams (2-3) - I mean, how impressive were the Browns last week, in defeat might i add. I was thoroughly impressed. The Rams have not been impressive. I think the Browns can have a productive week on the field. Browns 27, Rams 20

(CBS) Texans (2-4) at Dolphins (2-3) - Dolphins suck at home. But the Texans just suck overall. I think the Dolphins suck less than the Texans really. Dolphins 24, Texans 17

(CBS) Jets (4-1) at Patriots (5-0) - You know, I'm going to go out on a limb. I don't think there will be an undefeated team this season. The Patriots are still my Super Bowl pick, but I think they lose a division game. Not a blowout, but the Jets defense is as tough as they come. Could be a long day for Brady. Call me stupid all you want, but I think it will be a Jets day. Jets 20, Patriots 17

4PM EST

(CBS) Raiders (2-3) at Chargers (2-4) - Division games are always tough. The Chargers had a tough loss against the Packers. The Raiders, well they are the opposite of their slogan most years, Just Win Baby, and I think they are about a year or two away from being playoff contenders. Chargers 27, Raiders 17

(FOX) Cowboys (2-3) at Giants (3-3) - In the opener, Dez Bryant went down against the Giants. Would be great if he could return and play them. The Giants lost a game to the Eagles where I thought they could have won. Dallas brought in Matt Cassell and is benching Brandon Weeden, who by the way, didn't play entirely bad the last few weeks. If they get Dez, and Matt doesn't play like a third string tetherball, Dallas will win. Dallas 27, Giants 13

8PM EST

(NBC) Eagles (3-3) at Panthers (5-0) - I fully expect the Panthers and that defense to keep the Eagles in check. Panthers 31, Eagles 13

Monday October 26th 830PM EST

(ESPN) Ravens (1-4) at Cardinals (4-2) - I'll be back in the desert for this. I am fully expecting the Cardinals to lay a giant beating on them. Cardinals 38, Ravens 16

Happy NFL Week 7

  1. The Jets haven't played a team with a winning record yet. Luck is the only quarterback they've faced that's above barely mediocre, and he's playing terribly. None of their opposing teams so far have had a coach that's been with the team more than 2 full years, they're all in rebuild mode. And it's in Foxboro. Bold pick my friend. Looking forward to that game though, I think it could be a close one.
