Mike’s NFL Picks 2007 Week 7
By Mike | October 20, 2007
Lets go for two week in a row with positive results shall we? I put the over/under on number of games I get right this week at 5 out of 13. Anyone brave enough to take the over?
Arizona Cardinals +8.5 at Washington Redskins - Both of these team s have confused me this year. Normally I’d almost always bet Cardinals. Maybe its just a Cubs fans irrational hatred of red birds, or maybe its because they’ve been terrible for as long as I can remember. That being said 8.5 is a lot of points and I don’t the Skins are that good. So I’ll take Arizona and the points.
Atlanta Falcons +8 at New Orleans Saints - Eight points is a lot of points for a 1-4 team to be giving up, but against the Falcons I’ll do it.
Baltimore Ravens -3 at Buffalo Bills - Buffalo has problems scoring against bad defenses. I can see this being a shutout. Ravens easily.
New England Patriots -17 at Miami Dolphins - Laying 17 points on the road? Still, until they prove me wrong I’m going to have to stay with New England who has just been ridiculous this year.
San Fransisco 49ers +9.5 at New York Giants - Here’s two more teams that aren’t what I expected them to be this year. I thought the Niners were an up and coming team, and the Giants would be more of the same except worse without Tiki, but I apparently as is often the case, I was wrong. Still the Niners will at least come within a score of winning this game, so I’ll take San Fransisco and the points.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers +2.5 at Detroit Lions - Tampa wins this one. But as long as they are giving them, I’ll take the points.
Tennessee Titans -1.5 at Houston Texans - Big injuries on both sides of this one, but I’ll take the Texans with as little confidence as possible.
Kansas City Chiefs +3 at Oakland Raiders -I’m not real sure where to go with this one either, so I’ll take the home team.
New York Jets +6.5 at Cincinnati Bengals - What happened to the Bengals this year? I was expecting their offense to just run away with things, but as good as the offense is, the defense is that bad. Bears fans would dream of having any one of Palmer, Johnson, Johnson, or Houshmensadah. Having all of them on one team and still being 1-4 goes to show how important a good defense is. Lucky for them the Jets offense is less than impressive so their defense should be able to hold them to say, 20 points which will be significantly less than the Jets need.
Minnesota Vikings +10 at Dallas Cowboys - The Cowboys will rebound this week and demonstrate to the Bears how to stop an offense that relies solely on one guy. Even if he is an outstanding player.
Chicago Bears +6 at Philadelphia Eagles - Ugh. Two teams with playoff expectations coming into the season now just struggling to get to 500. I have a bad feeling the Bears are entering a death spiral that will put them at 5-11 by the end of the year. This game would make be cry if I wasn’t already expecting them to get destroyed.
St. Louis Rams +8.5 at Seattle Seahawks - I’ve been overestimating the Seahawks all year. They gave New Orleans their first win last week, will they do the same for the Rams? I don’t think so. The Rams have too many injuries, and have been playing too poorly to win, or even cover in this game.
Pittsburgh Steelers -4 at Denver Broncos - I have to admit I did not see the Steelers coming this year. I thought at best they’d make that last wild card spot, but I’ve always felt they were a bit overrated. Whatever they are doing, it seems to be working and they should have no problem going into Denver and blowing them out.
Indianapolis Colts -3.5 at Jacksonville Jaguars - Jacksonville has given the Colts problems over the years, but with Addai returning I think they’ll get out of there with a win. That extra half point concerns me because I could easily see this being a last second field goal win for the Colts, but I’ll take them anyway.
