Alright, here are this week's picks.
Game of the Week: Vikings @ Steelers. The Vikings are on a nice roll, the Steelers are getting a little desperate. They are at home and the weather is starting to turn cold. You have two very good defenses. The Vikings have a nice offense and the Steelers are a good offense. I think this one will be close, but Pittsburgh wins in a cold game in Blitzburgh. Favre will get hit more this game more than he has been hit all season.
Worst Game of the Week: Bills vs. Panthers: Two bad teams with nothing exciting on either side of the ball. Steve Smith and T.O. have done nothing all season and probably won't do much more given that the Bills are starting their backup, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Jake Delhomme has been playing like a backup all year. Maybe it will be a good defensive battle. I won't be watching it.
Lock of the Week: Colts over the Rams. I was wrong last week when I picked the Eagles over the Raiders. That said I think this one is a certain lock. What is there about the Rams that could beat the Colts? The Colts offense is so much better, its not even close. The Colts defense is far better. Also, the human missle, Bob Sanders is back. Peyton is coming off a bye week and the Colts have had 2 weeks to get healthy and study up for a team they probably just needed to show up without any practice to beat. Colts 38 Rams 10. Well see if I am off, but either way. Colts win.
Upset Alert: Now by upset, I could go off of who the underdog is, but I try and pick one that isn't one that people are nearly split on the winner. I try to make it a little bit difficult. This week the Falcons are underdogs to the Cowboys and the Bears are underdogs to the Bengals. In both cases I think the underdogs will win, but those would not surprise anyone.
So my actual upset alert this week is going to be the Dolphins over the Saints. Here's why. The game is in Miami, I don't think the Saints will be ready for the heat like Miami has practiced in. Miami is coming off a bye week and is more healthy and ready to go. I think that the Phins will do to the Saints what they did to the Colts. They will control the clock with the Wildcat and a controlled game by Chad Henne. It was only because of a Peyton miracle that the Colts won that game. Drew Brees is good, but he is not Peyton. I am going to say Dolphins 24 Saints 20.
Enjoy week 7 everyone.
