NFL Picks: Week 7

Last Week: 7-7
Season Record: 50-40

I think I feel pretty good about being 50-40 in this wacky season, which keeps getting wackier. I mean, the Rams beat the Chargers? Yikes.

Cincinnati at Atlanta--The Bengals had an extra week off to think about that ugly loss to the Bucs. The Falcons had one less week than that to think about that ugly loss to the Eagles. But they are home and usually a different team in the Dome. Falcons 27, Bengals 20

Buffalo at Baltimore--Okay, if the Bills upset the Ravens, that would be the wackiest upset of them all. But it ain't gonna happen. Right? No, I mean, right? Right. Ravens 34, Bills 3

San Francisco at Carolina--Matt Moore is going to have a fire under his butt, and he's going to lead this putrid Panthers team to victory. And then Mike Singletary will yell and scream at his team some more. Panthers 20, 49ers 10

Washington at Chicago--Somebody better block Brian Orakpo. Oh, wait.....it's the Bears. Somebody better put Jay Cutler in an armored suit. Redskins 22, Bears 16

Jacksonville at Kansas City--The Jags are trotting out Todd Bouman or Patrick Ramsey if David Garrard (concussion) can't play. Yikes. Chiefs 31, Jaguars 13

Pittsburgh at Miami--Don't be looking for a lot of points in this one. In fact, if you want points in Miami, go watch the Heat play (apologies to my Cleveland peeps). Steelers 12, Dolphins 10

Cleveland at New Orleans--Apologies to my Cleveland peeps again. Saints 30, Browns 17

St. Louis at Tampa Bay--Really, I have to pick this game? Well, it's better to pick it than watch it, I guess. Bucs 17, Rams 14

Philadelphia at Tennessee--Do you get the feeling Chris Johnson is going to bust a couple of really long runs in this game? He's just due. And that Titans' D-line is going to just mangle Kevin Kolb. Titans 31, Eagles 24

Arizona at Seattle--Another one that's just shaping up to be a classic. Not. Seahawks 37, Cards 20

New England at San Diego--This is a fun match-up no matter when or where it's played. Rivers against a crappy secondary and Belichick probably pulling out a few fake plays to piss the Chargers off. Chargers 23, Patriots 20 (and I'm predicting OT for this one)

Oakland at Denver--Seriously, aren't there any good games this weekend? Broncos 21, Raiders 16

Minnesota at Green Bay--Ah, that's right...they saved the good games for Sunday and Monday night. And this one's a beauty, probably Brett Favre's last game ever at Lambeau, as he brings a banged up elbow, surgically repaired ankle and legal issues on his mind when facing a banged up Packers' team. If only the Pack had half the running game the Vikings do.....Vikings 27, Packers 24

NY Giants at Dallas--So long as the Giants are able to put an extra blocker on DeMarcus Ware, the Cowboys will once again figure out a way to self-destruct. Giants 28, Cowboys 24

Bonus--in baseball, the Phillies will come all the way back to win their series in 7. The Yankees will win Game 6, and lose Game 7, setting up a Rangers/Phils World Series.
