Regular Season Week 7
This past week was definitely better than week 5. But any week is a great week with a Giants win. If you follow this blog you know that I try to get out every Sunday to a place with the Sunday Ticket, this past Sunday was no different. Lately I’ve been watching the games with a bunch of guys (Eagles fans, Redskins fans, Steelers fans, Raiders fans, and Chiefs fans) it’s a sight to be seen. Anyway, guys like to make bets I’ve observed. Therefore I decided to take a bet with them. One of the guys said that the Redskins would win the NFC East and if they didn’t he would shave his head. First I laughed. And then I said “Yeah, I’d like to see you with a shaved head. I’ll take that bet.” So, if the Redskins do not take the NFC East he’ll shave his head but if they do (and it makes me nauseous even thinking about this) I’ll wear Redskins attire for a week. Oh the Shenanigans I get myself into. Lets recap week 6.
Carolina @ Atlanta 17-31
Boy was I wrong calling a Carolina win. Cam had 3 interceptions this game and that is what ultimately hurt the Panthers. It was a tough loss. Sorry Carolina fans it looks like you’re on the same road as last year. Even if you are in the game right up till the end its still a loss.
Indianapolis @ Cincinnati 17-27
This really breaks my heart. I now know what it must have felt like to be a Detroit fan for the past 15 years. Indi just can’t catch a break. They are actually right back to where they were before Peyton Manning… horrible. Cincinnati just capitalized on Colts mistakes and took the game from Indi. I will say this though, it’s a lot easier rooting for Painter than it was for Collins… and that’s my silver lining.
San Francisco @ Detroit 25-19
A loss at home must have stunned Detroit fans this past Sunday. I know it stunned me. If you watched the hand shakes after the game was over you would have seen just as much intensity. There was a little scuffle between the head coaches. It was a little silly if you ask me. Detroit is no longer perfect after this devastating loss.
St. Louis @ Green Bay 3-24
Well at least the Colts are not the only winless team in the NFL and I can thank the St. Louis Rams (and the Dolphins) for that. This game was really no contest.
Buffalo @ New York Giants 24-27
Thanks boys for playing to the best of your ability and coming out with a beautiful win. It was a close game and a real nail-biter if you ask me. Bradshaw had an amazing game with over 100 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns! Eli also didn’t have any interceptions and NY didn’t have any turnovers! Fitzpatrick, on the other hand, had the only two turnovers in the game. Great game GMEN!
Jacksonville @ Pittsburgh 13-17
Well Pittsburgh won but like my friend said multiple times this past Sunday “Really? You’re playing Jacksonville. Umm you’re playing Jacksonville.” And yeah the Steelers won… but barely.
Philadelphia @ Washington 20-13
I’m not gonna say that I’m happy that Philly won, I would have much rather seen a tie, but it was good to see Washington lose. And as the bet mentioned before every Redskins loss is just one step closer to my friend walking around with a shaved head and me continuing to sport my Giants jersey.
Houston @ Baltimore 14-29
The Ravens just played the better game and came up with the win. Flacco had a great game even though he had an interception he threw for over 300 yards. Schaub, of the Texans just couldn’t bring his team to victory.
Cleveland @ Oakland 17-24
Oakland lost their starting QB to a broken collar bone but won the game. There were more ceremonies for the late Al Davis who would have been proud of his team because they did just what he would have told them to do “Just win, baby”
Dallas @ New England 16-20
My friend Martha said this past Sunday morning before this game: “So the Patriots and the Cowboys are playing each other today. Know the best possible outcome of that game? Team buses crash into each other on the way to the stadium = teams gone forever.” As harsh as it may sound I would have to agree with her, that would have been the best possible outcome but that’s not what happened. A Dallas loss is AWLAYS awesome but a Pats win never is. Although it was nice to see Brady throw two interceptions. So I’ll call this game a draw for me. At least I picked New England to win. Booo
New Orleans @ Tampa Bay 20-26
Tampa Bay shocked the Saints with Brees getting picked off three times and then taking the game. I did not see that coming.
Minnesota @ Chicago 10-39
Pretty sure this may be the last time you’ll see McNabb as the starting QB for Minnesota. Chicago held Adrian Peterson to just 39 yards and Cutler didn’t have any interceptions. Chicago actually looked good, Minnesota did not.
Miami @ New York Jets 6-24
The Jets took the win, which isn’t surprising and Miami is still winless this season. But hey so are my Colts and the Rams so the Dolphins are in some pretty good company.
8 wins 5 losses on week 6 picks. (not my best week for picks)
WEEK 7
Washington (3-2) @ Carolina (1-5) [Sunday 1pm FOX]
Well Rex Grossman has been benched and now John Beck is the Redskins QB. They lost to the Eagles last week but it seems like Carolina loses every week. I’m really pulling for a Carolina win this week. I’m picking the Panthers for the win… Don’t let me down Carolina. Please.
Seattle (2-3) @ Cleveland (2-3) [Sunday 1pm FOX]
I’m going with the Browns at home.
Atlanta (3-3) @ Detroit (5-1) [Sunday 1pm FOX]
Detroit has another chance at home this week to bring the city a win. I’m picking the Lions because I think they want the win more. We’ll see Sunday.
Denver (1-4) @ Miami (0-5) [Sunday 1pm CBS]
Tebow is going to get his first start so I’ve got to pick Denver for the win. Besides, someone has to keep the other winless teams company.
San Diego (4-1) @ New York Jets (3-3) [Sunday 1pm CBS]
I’d like to see the Jets win but I don’t know if they have it in them this week. San Diego is coming off their bye refreshed. I think it’ll be a close game but I’m picking the Chargers
Chicago (3-3) @ Tampa Bay (4-2) [Sunday 1pm FOX]
This is the London game so no one really has home field advantage; therefore, I’m going to have to pick Chicago for the upset.
Houston (3-3) @ Tennessee (3-2) [Sunday 1pm CBS]
With the Colts soundly at the bottom of the AFC South these two teams are fighting for the top. And only because the Colts have no chance at a post season this year I’ll pick Tennessee this week. (That was for you Abby)
Pittsburgh (4-2) @ Arizona (1-4) [Sunday 4:05pm CBS]
Oh how I would love to see Arizona win this one. But I know better than to pick them. I’m taking the Steelers for the win.
Kansas City (2-3) @ Oakland (4-2) [Sunday 4:05pm CBS]
I’m pretty sure Oakland will win this even with the Palmer QB controversy.
St. Louis (0-5) @ Dallas (2-3) [Sunday 4:15pm FOX]
Dear Rams, please win. Love, shenoa. PS I’m picking Dallas for the W even though it makes me sad.
Green Bay (6-0) @ Minnesota (1-5) [Sunday 4:15pm FOX]
Green Bay is going 7-0 this week.
Indianapolis (0-6) @ New Orleans (4-2) [Sunday 8:20pm NBC]
The Saints should have an easy game but I hope the Colts put up a good fight. I’m picking New Orleans for the win.
Baltimore (4-1) @ Jacksonville (1-5) [MNF 8:30pm ESPN]
I’m taking Baltimore for the win.
The Bills, Bengals, Patriots, Giants, Eagles, and 49ers all have byes this week.
May the GMEN stay on top of the NFC East even on their bye week! GO GMEN AND GO COLTS!
Thanks Mom for the editing!
