NFL Week 7 Picks

[Gamehendge]

10-22 NFL

Best Pick Record = 12-6
Strong Pick Record = 6-9
Regular Pick Record = 7-9

----------------------------------------------------


San Diego @ Kansas City

Best Pick = OVER 41 points

The Chargers put up 48 points last week against the
49er's, and look to keep that going into this game.
Kansas City got crushed in Pittsburgh last week, so
look for their offense to redeem themselves and
show that they're capable of scoring. LJ and LT both
are way overdue for big a game this season as well.

----------------------------------------------------


Philadelphia @ Tampa Bay

Best Pick = Philadelphia -5

The Eagles are coming off a tough loss to the Saints
this week, and the Bucs are coming off their first
win of the season. Tampa Bay's defense is starting
to decline and I don't see Philly letting up one bit
in this one. Donte Stalworth is also coming back
after missing the last 2 games. Westbrook is also
listed as probable.

----------------------------------------------------


Arizona @ Oakland

Best Pick = Arizona -3

The Cardinals have got to still be fuming about
their loss to the Bears on Monday night. What better
team to take it out on then the worst team in the
league. Matt Leinart looked pretty good, and will
probably get some more opportunities to to make big
plays in this one. Dennis Green is playing for his
job and will all likely be fired if he does'nt finish
with a winning record this year. If he loses to the
Raiders, he might not even get the chance to even
try.

----------------------------------------------------


San Diego @ Kansas City

Strong Pick = San Diego -5

San Diego is easily one of the top 3 teams in the
NFL this year. Philip Rivers is playing phenomonal
this year. He's coming off a 334 yard game last week
against San Fran. Ladanian Tomlison has been semi
quiet this year and I look for him to have a big
game against a K.C. defense that ranks 17th against
the rush. Kansas City seem to have a chemistry
problem as well. It's the complete opposite in
San Diego.

----------------------------------------------------


New England @ Buffalo

Strong Pick = New England -5

These two played in the first week of the season
and New England just barely beat them 19-17. That
was a different Patriots team then. Just when it
looked like New England was going to fold, they now
sit on a 4-1 record. The Patriots are coming off a
bye week, which allowed Brady and this fairly new
offense time to get in sync with each other. Buffalo
live and die depending on McGahee's performance, and
I believe their lack of a passing game, which is
ranked 29th in the league, will kill them in this
contest.

----------------------------------------------------


Detroit @ N.Y. Jets

Strong Pick = OVER 41.5

Both of these teams defenses are pretty beat up, and
Detriot just lost their pro bowl DT, Shaun Cody to a
4 game suspension. The Jets will want to rebound
after an embarrasing 41-0 loss the Jags last week.
Both teams rank at the bottom in defense, and both
teams are highly capable of putting points on the
board as well.

----------------------------------------------------


Carolina @ Cincinnati

Strong Pick = Carolina +3.5

The injuries are finally starting to take its toll
on the Bengals. They're playing without half of
their starting offensive line. They also have some
starters on defense out, and it seems the whole team
is fairly banged up. To top it off, Chris Heny is
still serving a 3 game suspension, which is huge
because he demands attention, which makes it nearly
impossible to double team their other two dynamic
recievers. Carolina is on a 4 game winning streak
and will should be oozing with confidence. Carson
Palmer could be in for a long day against this beast
of a defensive line.

---------------------------------------------------


Jacksonville @ Houston

Regular Pick = UNDER 40.5

Leftwitch is lifted as questionable in this game
with a sore ankle. Even if he does play, they will
want to keep him out of harms way to avoid further
injury, therefore the running game could dominate
in this one. I don't see Houston who is averaging
just 14.4 PPG, having much success against a well
rested Jags defense coming off a bye week.

----------------------------------------------------


Denver @ Cleveland

Regular Pick = Denver -4.5

The Broncos are 4-1, and the Browns are 1-4, yet
the Broncos are only favored by 4.5. This is
largely due to their poor offensive production,
although Denver, being a run first type of team,
stacks up well against Cleveland, who ranks 23rd
against the rush this season. Jake Plummer is
probably hearing whispers as well about putting in
1st round pick QB, Jay Cutler as well. He should
have an extra insentive to perform well, and playing
against an average Cleveland defense presents a
good opportunity to do so.
