NFL Week 7 Picks

This Week: 1-0
Last Week: 5-8
Season: 43-49-1

Home team in CAPS

BILLS (-4) over Titans

Not for nothing, I did say the Bills would be a playoff team. And right now they're tied for first in the AFC East. I keep telling myself this.

VIKINGS (-7) over Cardinals

Remember when Arizona was 4-0? It was actually a thing, just like the National Hockey League.

COLTS (-1) over Browns

Real simple: Andrew Luck over Brandon Weeden.

Ravens (+6.5) over TEXANS

My second favorite game of the week, for sure. A match-up of the only two AFC teams with winning records, as a matter of fact. I like the Ravens simply for the emotional boost of Terrell Suggs, knowing how hard he'll be balling.

PANTHERS (+3) over Cowboys

Don't worry Cam. I still got your back.

Redskins (+6.5) over GIANTS

The Redskins beat the champs not once, but twice last year. And they did it not once, but twice, with Rex Grossman. You see where I'm going here? Big day for Robert Griffin, the third victory in a row over the Giants.

Saints (-1.5) over BUCCANEERS

Big emotional boost from Jonathan Vilma in this one. And did you know that once this game is over, the interim interim coach steps aside for the interim coach? Good times in Nawlins.

PATRIOTS (-10) over Jets

I'm not going into any detail, other than there WILL be blood.

Jaguars (+6) over RAIDERS

Oakland looked great in defeat against Atlanta last week, right? Now they'll show you one of the many other variety of ways in which they can blow it.

Steelers (+1) over BENGALS

Steelers ain't finished playin' just yet. Anyone else pumped to hear Cris Collinsworth commentate his former team tonight, the Bengals? I mean I'm always pumped to hear Cris Collinsworth, but especially tonight.

BEARS (-6.5) over Lions

Bears have been absent for seemingly forever, and it continues all the way to tomorrow night, where they'll finally get a chance to remind everyone just how dangerous they are.

Seattle Slewed

I'd like to be more optimistic about the fact that the Patriots have lost their 3 games by a combined 4 points, but I can't. That means they can't win the close games. "Missed opportunities" would be the go-to cliche for this one. Brady had 395 yards, but that was probably the worst he's looked all year. Not in sync with any of the receivers, especially in the second half.

Give the Seahawks credit where it's due, they're a helluva team. Didn't realize just how good they were defensively.

Having said all this, I'm so beyond stoked for this Jets game next week I can't even put it into words. We are going to beat them. We are going to embarrass them. We are going to make Mark Sanchez wish he'd never crossed the border. We're going to make Tim Tebow....eh I won't make a Tebow joke at the risk of being struck down, but you get the point. I'm talking this is going to be like the 45-3 game from 2010. You heard it here first....

NFL Week 6 Picks

Some day, I'll wake up early enough on a Sunday to actually write a legitimate picks blog again. Til then, quick picks it is.

Last Week: 7-7

This Week: 0-1

Season: 37-41-1

Home team in CAPS

Bengals (-2) over BROWNS

The Browns gained a lot of draft picks in the Julio Jones trade with Atlanta, but they used one of them on Brandon Weeden. As if it wasn't enough to see what Jones is doing in Hotlanta.

Colts (+3) over JETS

Colts beat Packers, yet are underdogs to Jets? What planet is this? Jets are one of the worst 5 teams in football.

Chiefs (+4.5) over BUCCANEERS

Bucs are 1-13 in their last 14 games.

FALCONS (-9) over Raiders

Lock of the Week.

RAVENS (-3) over Cowboys

Remember when Dallas beat the Giants on opening night? We sure that wasn't opening night 1995?

EAGLES (-3.5) over Lions

Can't trust either team so I'll go with the home squad.

Rams (+5.5) over DOLPHINS

With apologies to my man Jake Sorensen, attending his first ever Dolphins game, this is the best Rams team of the last 6 or 7 years. Sure they've never finished better than 7-9, and even won just 6 games over a 3 year span at one point, but still.

Patriots (-3.5) over SEAHAWKS

Just watching ESPN as I'm writing this, did you know Pete Carroll has the second highest winning percentage in Patriots history? Don't think he gets any closer to reclaiming that one today.

Bills (+5.5) over CARDINALS 

Are the Cardinals the most fraudulent 4-1 team in recent NFL history? Other than Larry Fitzgerald there isn't a competent player on the entire offense, and that includes the O-Line.

REDSKINS (+1.5) over Vikings

Can't wait to see RGIII back out there.

49ERS (-7) over Giants

Don't even get me started on the NFC Championship.

Packers (+3.5) over TEXANS 

The Packers have already tripled their loss total from a year ago. Quadrupling it in just October? That ain't right. Texans will miss Brian Cushing, but I ain't crying for him. He's a roider.

BRONCOS (PK) over Chargers

Peyton Manning on a Monday night vs. Norv Turner. You tell me.

NFL Week 5 Picks

I'm rushing these picks but I wanna get them out there in print. Apologies I'll try harder next week.
