Hello and good evening to you all. Another post as the week that was for week 7 of the NFL regular season is finished. Yes I did have a better week in picking games this week than last week (4-10 for those who are new to my column blog, welcome by the way!). 11-2 in 13 games for week 7. 6 teams had a bye week. In terms it was a pretty good week for me. So here we go:
Seattle 6, San Francisco 13: Had the Niners winning. The game was a close, defensive contest for the most part. The Niners got a safety but Jim Harbaugh decided to keep it a 7 point game to keep the spread at 7. Good move I suppose. Alex Smith might not be the QB that can get the job done right in the Bay City but he’s better than anyone else there.
Tennessee 35, Buffalo 34: Had the Bills winning. Somehow or another this pick sounded logical towards the end of the game. The Bills had a 6-point lead then the Bills fail and score on a late touchdown pass from Matt Hasselbeck (Yes he’s still in the league, I’m sure you’re shocked too… right?). Very good scoring contest.
Dallas 19, Carolina 14: Had Dallas winning. The Cowboys had an alright game. Tony Romo played well enough to get a win. Big story for this game was Cam Newton getting criticism by a lot of people. My take is that his team has a lot of running backs USE THEM! Take the pressure off Cam Newton, he isn’t Superman. The Panthers pride themselves on their running game. Its like that scene in Scary Movie 4 when Charlie Sheen’s character eats too many Viagra pills thus causing his penis to grow the size of a whale’s penis, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT MOMENT TO PLEASE EVERY WOMAN YOU SEE! Okay maybe that wasn’t a good example but you should get that pop culture reference.
Baltimore 13, Houston 43: Had Texans winning. The game was awful to watch if you were a Ravens fan. It was sad to see no Ray Lewis on the field. I mean Terrell Suggs was in the game but it was the Texans game to lose and they showed up to play after a bad performance against the Packers.
Cleveland 13, Indianapolis 17: Had Indy winning. The Colts had an alright game, Weeden had a good game with 2 touchdown passes and 0 interceptions (yep you heard it here 0 int’s!). Andrew Luck ran in for 2 scores. Maybe he could be a runner as well as a passer.
Arizona 14, Minnesota 21: Had the Vikings winning. A pretty tight game. If you had Adrian Peterson on your fantasy team he had a great day. 153 rushing yards for a 1 touchdown. Skelton got roughed up quite a bit didn’t he…
Washington 23, New York Giants 27: had the G-men winning. A lot of people had the Redskins winning in this one based on the fact that the Redskins owned the season series last season. The Giants had Victor Cruz to a winning score in the 4th quarter. Did the salsa dance… should be on Dancing With The Stars when his career is over! He’d take down Emmitt Smith and Donald Driver by a landslide.
Green Bay 30, St. Louis 20: Had the Packers winning. The Packers had a solid game for them going on in their 3rd straight road game. The game was a great one for Aaron Rodgers who looked to be back on track to the Aaron Rodgers we should know. St. Louis is still a good team but they’re a long ways from getting back to a playoff team.
New Orleans 35, Tampa Bay 28: Had New Orleans winning. The Saints only won this game because of Drew Brees. Their defense has to be one of the worst in the league. I mean its awful, awful, awful. Okay I’m done.
New York Jets 26, New England 29 (OT): Had New England winning. The game was supposed to be in favor of the Patriots by 10 1/2 points. The Patriots problems are starting to surface and it can’t be all Tom Brady’s fault. The defense should be better than this. I mean the Patriots, like the Packers spent a lot of draft picks on defense to repair the defense but somehow the Pats win this one close.
Jacksonville 23, Oakland 26 (OT): Had the Jaguars winning. The Jaguars pick seemed to me like a good idea. But only to realize that the Jaguars are crap without Blaine Gabbert at the helm. The Jaguars blew a 17-6 lead after halftime. Gabbert left the game. Have to give the Raiders a lot of credit.
Pittsburgh 24, Cincinnati 17: Had Pittsburgh winning. The Steelers proved that they can still win close games and Big Ben proved in this game if you heard about his pep talk to his offense to step up while their banged up defense some help with some rest.
Detroit 7, Chicago 13: Had the Bears winning. A lot of talk has been on the Vikings so far this season and probably the Bears are the most complete team in the NFC if not the NFL at this point. However the Packers did beat them so I can’t give them all the credit *wink wink*
