NFL Week 7
4:27 PM EDT Saturday, October 20 2007
Another horrible week last week of 4-10-2, brining the overall record to 36-45-8, but I'm just 2 games behind the Sports Guy, and 2 games ahead of Lombardi, so I'll have to hang in there.
WASHINGTON -9 over Arizona
I'm expecting Tim Rattay to struggle on the road
NEW ORLEANS -9 over Atlanta
Leftwich is really the wild card here. I don't think their line can block for him, so I'll go with the Saints.
Baltimore -3 over BUFFALO
Hopefully Boller can get it done for one more week going into the bye
New England -16 over MIAMI
The talk of the Patriots going undefeated is starting to heat up, but what about another possibility, that they go 16-0 against the spread? Has anyone ever done that? Do they keep stats for that? I thought about taking Miami here, but by trading away Chambers, they are effectively giving up on this team, and at 0-6, why not.
San Francisco +9.5 over NY GIANTS -9.5
The 49ers are coming off a bye, and Dilfer has a knack for avoiding the pass rush, so the 49ers should make a game of this.
DETROIT -2.5 over Tampa Bay
Detroit is coming off the bye and playing at home
HOUSTON +1 over Tennessee
Vince Young is nursing a leg injury, so I'll take Houston at home
OAKLAND -1 over Kansas City
It's really tough to figure out either of these two teams, so I'll go with the home team.
CINCINNATI -6.5 over N.Y. Jets
Even though the Bengals defense stinks, the Jets don't have enough offense to keep up with the Bengals offense.
DALLAS -9.5 over Minnesota
Romo should have a big day, Minnesota is giving up a league worst 288 passing yards per game.
Chicago +6 over PHILADELPHIA
I think Chicago can keep this one close
SEATTLE -9 over St. Louis
Bulger will be back, but it won't be enough
Pittsburgh -3.5 over DENVER
Denver is giving up a league worst 187 rushing yards per game
Indianapolis -3 over JACKSONVILLE
The Colts are sort of flying under the radar with what the Patriots are doing, but they'll be undefeated going into that big Week 9 match up as well.
