Week 7, up five. Also, this is where we're staying in Denver.
Green Bay over Cleveland
The Packers are so much better on paper than they've played... coaching change time..?
San Francisco over Houston
49ers have the 20th ranked pass defence. Schaub is getting hot. Shit. But the Crabtree signing and the bye week will have this SF team in top form, and they'll be hungry for a win. Gore's also back... San Francisco.
Kansas City over San Diego
I can't believe I'm making this call. The Chiefs are at home, they are getting better while the Chargers are sliding, SD won last year's two meetings by a combined score of two points. Neither team will be able to stop any fucking pass to save their lives. But the decision maker was the swine flu that's ravaging the Chargers locker room and has LT down and, potentially, out.
Indianapolis over St. Louis
If you thought last week's 59-0 drubbing was bad...
Patriots over Tampa Bay
Steelers over Vikings
Wow. This is tough. The Vikings are limping (Winfield, Peterson) and Steelers literally don't have an injured player. I think the Steelers are 2nd in Passing and the Vikings are 24th in defending the pass. I also think Jared Allen will pressure the hell out of Ben. (the vikings are tied for the league lead in sacks, with the Broncos, and the Steelers 23rd in sacks allowed). The Steelers' losses have come on the road, and they're at home here. It'll be a brisk 10 degrees that day, which I think works in favour of the home team when playing a team that has a dome. The Vikings barely beat Baltimore. I always like coaches against their former teams. Pittsburgh has played shitty teams as of late. This is their test. I'll take them, if only because I've racked up a lead by you betting against my team. Steelers. Enjoy!
Carolina over Buffalo
New York over Oakland
Bengals over Bears
Tinoisamoa and Odom are both out, so that will leave little pressure on Cutler and open up some holes for Benson, who will still have to run against Urlacher and Briggs, no easy task. Tommie Harris is also out though. The Bengals pass defence is awful. Both teams lose the ball a lot. This will be an ugly one. I think with two top run-stoppers out, Benson will do well against his former team. Bengals.
Dallas over Atlanta
I run the risk over over-analyzing here. But generally, Atlanta is good at home. Dallas is, too. Dallas is at home. Dallas had a bye. Atlanta has a bottom-third pass defence and run defence. I think Newman can stop Roddy White. And Matt Ryan won't have an answer for Demarcus Ware (even though he only has two sacks this year). I hope. Cowboys.
Saints over Miami
Giants over Arizona
Eagles over Redskins
How do you pick a once-lauded matchup when they lost to the Raiders and Chiefs last week? Lame. Eagles, presuming they get back to running the damn ball.
