The Picks - Week 7
Titans (-9) at Chiefs: Titans -9
The Titans have one of the better running games in the league, while the Chiefs have one of the worst. Chris Johnson's good for 100+ yards and at least one score.
Chargers at Bills (even): Chargers
This is the week everyone gets off the Bills bandwagon. This is their first big test against one of the league's elite, and while Marshawn Lynch and Lee Evans will do some damage, the Chargers win this one pretty easily, even with Chris Chambers possibly riding the pine.
Steelers (-9.5) at Bengals: Bengals +9.5
I'm not a big fan, but Chad "Ocho Stinko" Ocho Cinco has to get it going some week, right? This is probably a stupid pick because they have no clear top RB right now and Fitzpatrick will be their QB for the foreseeable future, but sometimes you have to make stupid picks to win in the world of sports gambling.
Ravens at Dolphins (-3): Ravens +3
Just like with the Bills, I'm not quite buying in to all this Miami hype. The Ravens still have one of the better defenses in the league, and I just don't think Chad, Ronnie and Ricky can crack them.
Cowboys (-7) at Rams: Cowboys +7
If the Romo-less Cowboys were actually playing a team with a solid defense, I'd pick against them. Brad Johnson is, like, really old, and this Roy Williams trade is getting a lot more hype than it deserves. The Rams kind of got things on track last week, but I doubt they'll ever really gain any type of true momentum at any point this season.
Vikings at Bears (-3): Vikings +3
This comes down to how effective AP, Berrian and Frerotte can be against the Bears pass-D. It's not much to get excited about when Frerotte is coming off the bench to be your savior, but I'm starting to buy in to this whole Frerotte-to-Berrian passing connection.
Saints at Panthers (-3): Saints +3
Brees is reportedly getting Colston and Shockey back, which means big things for the Saints' offense. They may be without Reggie Bush, and if that's the case, I'd probably take Carolina.
49ers at Giants (-10.5): 49ers +10.5
Eat shit, G-Men. I need a nice fantasy game out of Frank Gore, so that's what I'm predicting.
Lions at Texans (-9): Texans -9
Andre Mother Flippin' Johnson. (Yes, that's a Flight of the Conchords reference.)
Jets (-3) at Raiders: Jets -3
Similar to the Rams, the Raiders just suck. Plus, you just never really know when Old Man Favre could strike for 5 or 6 touchdowns.
Browns at Redskins (-7.5): Browns +7.5
The offense finally started clicking last week, and while I think Portis will have at least a pair of rushing touchdowns (wouldn't be surprised to see him end up with 3+, actually), I think the Browns will keep rolling and at least keep it to within a TD.
Colts (-1) at Packers: Colts -1
No Addai = no problem. Ryan Grant should tear up the suspect Colts D-line, but that powerful Colts passing attack should do well against a pretty solid Packers pass-D.
Seahawks at Buccaneers (-10.5): Bucs -10.5
Tough call here, but one of the usual staples of Seahawks football - its defense - is one of its biggest weaknesses this year. Hasselbeck's without Branch, so the solid Bucs pass-D can focus on taking Engram out of the game and make Seattle beat them on the ground. Which they won't do with Julius Jones and Maurice Morris.
Broncos at Patriots (-3): Broncos +3
I'm not too high on the Pats (maybe it's the cynic in me that thinks Matt Cassel will never be nothing more than a third-string QB in this league), especially not against one of the better offensive teams in the league
