NFL picks--Week 7

Last week: 9-6
Season record: 57-34

Week 7???  Man, this is what I hate about the NFL season.  If you don't stop and enjoy it while it's here, it's over before you can exhale.  So hey, let's stop and enjoy it while there are still 11 weeks of regular season to go....

NY Jets at New England--You know that since the Patriots should annihilate the Jets at this stage based on the last two weeks' games, the opposite will happen.  But then again, the Jets have scored only 96 points and have given up 158.  Yikes.  And Brady is pissed again, so look out.  Patriots 31, Jets 17

Minnesota at Buffalo--Is anyone else slightly weirded out by the Vikings playing home games outdoors?  Of course, this game is in Buffalo, but I digress.  Bills 27, Vikings 23

Miami at Chicago--Which one of these teams is more mediocre than the other?  Bears 24, Dolphins 16

New Orleans at Detroit--So the Lions' offense is supposedly modeled after the Saints, but they've given up the fewest points in the league so far so are winning with defense.  The Saints, meanwhile, are underachieving.  Lions 29, Saints 26

Carolina at Green Bay--It's pretty clear that the Packers are crap without Aaron Rodgers, no?  Packers 24, Panthers 20

Cincinnati at Indianapolis--This one appears to be one of this week's marquee games.  And the Bengals sort of appear mortal.  Colts 27, Bengals 21

Seattle at St. Louis--Finally the Hawks' defense has a good match up to dominate against, but 2014 has been so strange and the Rams have been strange for a few years now under Jeff Fisher.  Go with the champs here.  Seahawks 27, Rams 13

Tennesssee at Washington--It's amazing the talk of RG3 returning is getting louder.  Redskins 28, Titans 14

Cleveland at Jacksonville--It would be just like the Browns to lose this game, but alas, under Mike Pettine this Browns team seems like they are for real.  Browns 35, Jaguars 20

Atlanta at Baltimore--Wait, Joe Flacco threw for how many touchdowns last week?  Five, and they were damn near all in the first quarter.  And he faces another generous NFC South team this Sunday.  Ravens 37, Falcons 24

Kansas City at San Diego--This is my upset special this week.  The Chiefs had an extra week to prepare and the Bolts are due for a letdown.  Chiefs 26, Chargers 24

NY Giants at Dallas--This is an exercise in contrast.  Romo, Witten and Dez have beat up on the Giants before, but they are playing at another level now, and actually have a defense.  Cowboys 41, Giants 17

Arizona at Oakland--Maybe the Raiders are more competitive under Tony Soprano (yeah I know that's not how you spell it but it's more fun this way), but this AZ team is in first place in maybe the toughest division in the NFL.  Cardinals 22, Raiders 19

San Francisco at Denver--Shades of Montana vs. Elway in the Super Bowl.  Okay, maybe not.  Broncos 34, Niners 31 

Houston at Pittsburgh--If Miami/Chicago is the Mediocrity Bowl, this one is Mediocrity Bowl II.  I would like to formally apply for the position of picking which games to air on Monday Night Football.  Steelers 19, Texans 16
