NFL Week 7

Last week, 6-8. Overall, 50-41.

Thoughts from last week

-Sorry, Packers. Your season is over. Rodgers going down is not only devastating for the Packers, for but for the NFL as a whole.
-Also there goes my Super Bowl pick. DAMNIT RODGERS. DRINK MORE MILK
- Browns, yours has been over since that Thursday Night Chiefs/Patriots game, and you didn't even play.
- Chiefs can't win them all, but it also illustrates my point with the Steelers. Plays down and gets obliterated by "okay teams" (see the Jaguars) and then plays up and beats excellent teams.
- Raiders, what's going on in Oakland? Fully thought you'd be competing for a playoff spot.
- Also, Broncos? Really? You let that Bum Eli beat you last week. Dead. To. Me. They were supposed to run the table in reverse.
- Don't look now, but the Rams might actually be pretty good. Clearly playing in L.A. is good for them.
- I think the Cardinals winning, was a facade. Just because you get Adrian Peterson, doesn't mean much. So many glaring holes on the team. Maybe I'm wrong, but even at the end of the game, they still had a chance of losing.
- 49ers, you still give me hope.

Thursday October 19th

(CBS) Chiefs (5-1) at Raiders (2-4)- I honestly thought that the raiders would be good this season. Clearly, I was wrong. They have continued to look like a team that is put together with the last few strips of scotch tape. 2-4? Terrible. They clearly should be better, but for some reason, they have not played good. The Chiefs, one loss won't change anything. They have been playing good, and even had a chance to win last week. They bounce back this week though. Chiefs 24, Raiders 17

Sunday October 22nd

(FOX) Buccaneers (2-3) at Bills (3-2) - The Buccaneers, after being down by a huge amount, came back to nearly win the game. They are supposed to be better than their record indicates, but if we are being honest, the Bucs are really about a year or two from being consistently good. The Bills, not much to say. Winning record, but their offense is shaky at best. I think the Bucs steal one on the road. Bucs 21, Bills 13

(CBS) Panthers (4-2) at Bears (2-4) - Bears beat a really good team last week. Was impressed. I'm not sure I'm sold on the Panthers. They aren't really playing great, I mean they should win this game, but at some point they are going to be exposed that they really aren't a good team. Panthers 27, Bears 16

(CBS) Titans (3-3) at Browns (0-6) - I have made it really clear that either the 49ers or Browns should run the table in reverse. Don't care who does it, but just lose so we don't get it confused. Titans 31, Browns 20

(FOX) Saints (3-2) at Packers (4-2) - I know there are 52 men on a roster, but when your best man goes down, well teams typically crumble. I expect the Packers to do that. I don't know much about the backup, but I'm going to guess it's his first start in the NFL. Going to be a Saints party at Lambeau. Saints 34, Packers 10

(CBS) Jaguars (3-2) at Colts (2-4) - Again, not sure what to make of the Jaguars. Destroys the Steelers one week, gets beat by the Rams the following week. Truly the Jekyll/Hyde of the NFL right now. Colts, well, I think they are about as god as can be expected. Jaguars should win a close game. Jaguars 20, Colts 17

(FOX) Cardinals (3-3) at Rams (4-2) - Rams want to take a step at claiming the division crown? This is the game they have to win. They lose, it opens the division up again. I think the Cardinals win a thriller though. Cardinals 24, Rams 20

(FOX) Jets (3-3) at Dolphins (3-2)  - I think the Jets were robbed on a TD last week, which would have made that Patriots/Jets game a lot more interesting. Jets aren't as bad as they are portrayed. Dolphins, either. QB play, and the inconsistencies will be the death of both teams. I think the Dolphins win a close one. Dolphins 27, Jets 24

(CBS) Ravens (3-3) at Vikings (4-2) - Vikings have a chance to take control of this division, with Rodgers out, they can establish the dominance they seek. The Ravens, well they lost to the Bears last week, so I don't expect them to put up much of a fight against a formidable defense. Vikings 31, Ravens 20

(FOX) Cowboys (2-3) at 49ers (0-6) - Cowboys, don't make me excommunicate you. Cowboys 27, 49ers 10

(CBS) Seahawks (3-2) at Giants (1-5) - In a season where they have looked terrible, I honestly think the Giants can take the cross country flying Seahawks, and beat them. Giants 20, Seahawks 13

(CBS) Bengals (2-3) at Steelers (4-2) - Bengals are another one of those teams that has me wondering how they can be so bad. Sure, they've won two games, but geez, they look bad. Steelers, well again they don't appear to be as good as their record. I think they win, but I don't think that it's going to be a beatdown. Steelers 24, Bengals 16

(CBS) Broncos (3-2) at Chargers (2-4) - If it weren't for the defense, the Broncos probably would be like 1-4 or something. The Chargers haven't played that great, but it's a home game and the SoCal crowd is good one. I think that the Chargers lead this game, and then lose it. Sucks, but that's been that way for them for a while now. Broncos 20, Chargers 17



(NBC) Falcons (3-2) at Patriots (4-2) - It will forever be known that the Falcons had a huge lead, and choked it away. They lost the biggest game of their life because they could not close it. The Patriots though, let's be honest. This season, their defense is legit crap. They have had a 300 yard passer against them...EVERY. GAME. THIS. SEASON. Even last week, McCown threw for over 350. So, that tells you about the Pats defense. The Falcons can win, but the Super Bowl game will forever haunt them. Falcons 27, Patriots 20


Monday October 23rd


(ESPN) Redskins (3-2) at Eagles (5-1) - Redskins have been hot and cold. Not really all that great. The Eagles, have been playing really well. Solid defense. Good offense. One that is going to give a lot of team matchup problems. Carson Wentz, turning out to be a good player for the Eagles. They need to do all they can to surround him with weapons, because he will find them. I think it's another win for the Eagles. Filthadelphia 34, Washington Idiots 24

Happy NFL Week 7!

NFL Week 6


Last week 7-7.
Overall 44-33


Notes
- All hail the Chiefs. They are the only undefeated team to date.
- Giants, you suffered some bad losses, but not 3 wide receivers gone for the season in one quarter, loss. Your season, is over.
- Eagles look really good. I hate them, but they look good.
- Why is it that the Browns do not seem to be making progress, ever. I mean, last season they started out bad, and this season is the same. How the coach has managed to keep his job is astounding.
- The Buccaneers beat themselves last week. They should've easily handled the Patriots.
- Don't look now, but the Jaguars might be figuring it out. They destroyed the Steelers last week.
- The Seahawks, despite their record, is not playing all that great.

Thursday October 12th

(CBS) Eagles (4-1) at Panthers (4-1) - The Eagles, have looked great, and it pains me to say that. Wentz has been really good, and that defense. so good. The Panthers, well not too shabby. I don't really care too much for Cam Newton, but the team is good. Overall, finally a good matchup on Thursday night after a few terrible games. I think we are going to get an exciting game. Eagles 24, Panthers 20

Sunday October 15th

(CBS) Dolphins (2-2) at Falcons (3-1) - Dolphins have climbed back to .500, and the Falcons are coming off the bye week. Not sold on other team really. I still don't think the Dolphins, with Cutler, will do any better than .500. The Falcons, well tough division. Up and coming Buccaneers, and the Panthers of course. These are games the Falcons have to win if they are going to win the division. Should destroy the Dolphins. Falcons 31, Dolphins 13




(FOX) Packers (4-1) at Vikings (3-2) - I think it's safe to say that Aaron Rodgers is the magic man. If you leave any time on the clock, even 1 second, he will find a way to tie the game up, or beat you. PLEASE RUN OUT THE CLOCK. The Packers are one of the better teams in the league, because of their offense. Defense gives up too many points. Vikings on the other hand, their defense is strong. Their offense scores when necessary but they are not one that you fear. I think this is going to be a tough, grind em NFC North game, and it will come down to a field goal. Packers 20, Vikings 17

(FOX) Lions (3-2) at Saints (2-2) - I think the Lions are going to beat the Saints only because I think the Lions are a better team. Tough losses, but they are a good team. Lions 34, Saints 24

(CBS) Patriots (3-2) at Jets (3-2) - Still surprised the Jets have won 3 games. They won't get their fourth this week. Brady has owned this team. He should be paying taxes to the state of new york, that kind of owned. Patriots 37, Jets 13

(FOX) 49ers (0-5) at Redskins (2-2) - Keep my dream alive, Redskins. Redskins 31, 49ers 10

(FOX) Bears (1-4) at Ravens (3-2) - I thought Trubisky was going to win this game, but then I remembered he's a rookie, but he played very well. I fully expect them to come out and be a little more effective against the Ravens, but ultimately succumb to that defense. Ravens 24, Bears 14

(CBS) Browns (0-5) at Texans (2-3) - I am actually liking both QB's for these teams. I think they could be really good, and not some temporary replacement for them. Too bad, the Browns are abysmal. I think they stay winless, thanks to the Texans. Texans 27, Browns 17

(FOX) Buccaneers (2-2) at Cardinals (2-3)- Even with the addition of Adrian Peterson, I am not sure the Cardinals run game will be good. The line, sucks. They don't give Carson enough time to throw the ball. They routinely play catch up. It's not a good team. Bucs, well their kicker lost them the game, missed what? 3 field goals last week. They are a much better team, and even though they played bad, still held the Patriots to a few points. Plus, this is the return of Dirk Koetter back to Arizona (Former ASU coach) so i think he has some tricks up his sleeve. Look for a high scoring game. Buccaneers 34, Cardinals 30

(FOX) Rams (3-2) at Jaguars (3-2) - Honestly, two up and coming teams that could very well be super bowl contenders in a few years, with the right moves. I am shocked both teams are 3-2. I think the Jaguars are the more complete team, minus the QB, but they have all the other pieces in place. This should be a defensive  game. Both teams have good defenses. I do think the Jags pull one out. Jaguars 20, Rams 14



(CBS) Steelers (3-2) at Chiefs (5-0) - Look, the Steelers have not played great. They actually play terrible against opponents they should beat. Chiefs, superb. I mean, they are really good. Does that mean they can win every week? No. And I really don't think the Steelers are going to let them have this one. I think it's a close game, and the Steelers somehow pull it out. Steelers 24, Chiefs 20


(CBS) Chargers (1-4) at Raiders (2-3) - Not sure what is going on with the Raiders, but if they want to turn it around, they can start now. They should beat the Chargers, but Rivers has a way of getting his team a win when they desperately need one. They need it. Still lose, though. haha Raiders 27, Chargers 17

(NBC) Giants (0-5) at Broncos (3-1) - Giants literally have nothing to play for, so go ahead and keep losing! Broncos 31, Giants 10

Monday October 16th

(ESPN) Colts (2-3) at Titans (2-3) - honestly, what the colts have been able to do without Andrew Luck should give them hope for the future. Titans on the other hand, baffled how they can be so bad, when they seemed like they were making strides last year. I think at home, monday night, the Titans can win, but they have to stop Brissett, or else they are going to be playing catchup. Titans 24, Colts 20
