Week 7 Picks

Last week I did well! I only missed 4 games! But that was the only thing really good about last week.

Last week the only thing memorable is the amount of violent hits that receivers took, notably Eagles' wide receiver, DeSean Jackson. It was this hit, that I believe, really sparked the need for the NFL to take action against these violent hits. To read more about what happened and what is now being done about it, read the last post on this blog, Helmet to Helmet Hits.

Week 7 Picks:

1. Steelers
2. Falcons
3. Chiefs
4. Eagles
5. Bears
6. Saints
7. Ravens
8. 49ers
9. Rams
10. Seahawks
11. Patriots
12. Broncos
13. Packers
14. Giants

This week I think there is really only that is worthy of the "must see" tag. The Vikings @ Packers is the one. Favre is returning to Green Bay and that's always a mixed emotion for the Cheese Heads. Expect a lot of cheers and a lot of boos, especially with the way he's been playing lately! I think that for the sole reason of Favre's play that the Packers can take the win here. Favre is still playing distracted over the sexting incident and his elbow issues as well.

There are some honorable mentions this week.

Bengals @ Falcons: This game has the potential to be a really good game. The Bengals have been letting me down in terms of expectations this year so I am not really calling them worthy right now.

Giants @ Cowboys: This game will likely not be a great football game. It has the potential to be very one sided. The Cowboys have a lot to prove and are in the position where they are moving closer and closer to that true state of panic. They were anticipating going to the Super Bowl in their own brand-new, multi-million dollar facility. That idea is far from becoming a reality and is on the brink of fantasy at this point.

In other news, Colt McCoy looks to make his second NFL start in as many weeks with the Browns. Although on a bye week, Matthew Stafford is set to return for the Lions after being sidelined with his shoulder injury. Kolb is still listed as the Eagles starter in the absence of Vick due to his rib injury. However, Reid has said that when Vick's injury is not longer a question the starting spot is his.

So far this year, this blog has been dedicated strictly to the NFL. I do have another blog dedicated to NBA's Sacramento Kings and I have yet to decide if this will remain strictly football come Wednesday's NBA tip off extravaganza! We all know where my heart truly lies, but I will try not to slip in at least my picks for the week on here!
