Last week for the fun of it, I decided to flip a coin and then either debate the coins fateful decision or agree with it. The coin went 8-6 last week and I split down the middle going 7-7. Looks like I need a few more pennies for a decent thought. The good news is I'm 33-25 overall, still above .500!
Okay, let’s McCain this week and forget the change, Here's my week 7 picks!
CIN @ ATL – ATL. It’s interesting to see that the Bengals are statistically above .500 when it comes to Offense and Defense, yet they’re 2-3 with the only impressive win against Baltimore that happens to be their division rival. Against a top ten run defense, they should be fine if Carson Palmer lets it fly. However, I have a feeling that Matty Heisman might have that kind of Sunday. Matty Heisman don’t fail me now, even though you’ve failed me many times before.
PIT @ MIA – PIT. People laughed when I picked MIA over GB last week. And are they laughing this week?? Well yes because a coin beat me in fantasy picking, but that’s not the point. The Dolphins are for real. Believe you me!
BUF @ BAL – BAL. Not even worth the explanation.
JAC @ KC – KC. Jacksonville is having some quarterback trouble. David Garrard is out, Trent Edwards is likely out, and TIM TEBOW ISN’T WALKING THROUGH THAT DOOR! Instead Todd Bouman will likely get the nod. You know Todd Bouman; the guy that hasn’t played a down since 2005. This should be a good bounce back day for KC after losing two straight.
CLE @ NO – NO. For explanation, refer to BUF/BAL game.
WAS @ CHI – WAS. Chicago is a great team defensively especially against the run. Too bad the Redskins are a passing team. CHI disappointed me last week against Seattle and that game should have been a lock for a team that leads the NFC North.
SF @ CAR – SF. SF came through for me last week. Granted it was against a team like Oakland but it still worked out for the best. SF got their first win and OAK continued to lose. WIN, WIN, and another WIN after Sunday. SF is a better team than 1-5, they just have a very tough schedule. Four of their losses have come from New Orleans, Kansas City, Atlanta, and Philadelphia, all teams that are playoff contenders.
STL @ TB – STL. Every week, STL does the opposite of what I think they will do. So this week I put the opposite of what I thought. I think they’ll lose so I’m picking them to win.
PHI @ TEN – PHI. When you think of a back up player coming to the rescue, Kerry Collins isn’t exactly my first pick, especially against a team that’s averaging 26 points a game. Even with DeSean Jackson out, Maclin, McCoy, and Celek should be able to pick up the extra slack. This might be a great game for Maclin who will now be considered the number one wide receiver.
ARI @ SEA – SEA. Again this is one of those game that just doesn’t matter. Granted the winner of this game could decide who’s first in the NFC West, but the NFC West is usually full of wild card teams. (STL has to loss in order to separate the 3 teams.) With a balanced air attack and running game (Matt Hasselbeck and Marshawn Lynch) this team should do pretty well against a team that’s in the bottom 7 in run offense/defense and pass offense/defense. Again, HOW ARE THESE TEAMS FIGHTING FOR FIRST PLACE???
NE @ SD – NE. SD is hurting… Physically and Mentally. As good as this team is coming off the bye week, they are down in personnel. Their running back is probable, TE is questionable, 1 and 2 WR’s are suspended and doubtful. Even their kicker is out. This team is physically in trouble and after losing to Oakland two weeks ago, needed this week to mentally prepare for a offensive hungry New England team.
OAK @ DEN – DEN. Knowshon Moreno is back and ready for the 30th worst run defense in the league.
MIN @ GB – GB. Favre is back in Green Bay. Last time these two teams met up at Lambeau, Favre and Rodgers threw for 7 TDs and 0 INTs. This might be a very fun offensive game to watch. Good thing it’s being televised nationally. If GB really want to get into Brett’s head… they should give out free fake cell phone at the gates for all the fans. Make them the foam kind so that they can throw them on the field. Okay, maybe not such a good idea.
NYG @ DAL – DAL. DAL let me down last week. However I won’t be fooled again, which is why I’m picking them again for my SLEEPER PICK OF THE WEEK. DAL is getting worse and worse while NYG is getting better and better but, don’t be surprised if DAL has a good game on the ground with Tuck and Kiwanuka likely out for the Giants. While the offense might be bad in Dallas, their defense is statistically ranked top ten in passing and rushing.
