The Shenoa Report Regular Season Week 7 '12


The Shenoa Report

Regular Season Week 7

It was another fantastic weekend all around. Instead of going to Charleston this weekend my non-liking-football friend came to stay with me in Charlotte. We had an epic visit and he left just in time for me to catch the Giants game! Best. Weekend. Ever!
Some crazy things happened in the football world this weekend therefore my picks were less than impressive, but really, who would have thought that the Patriots and Steelers would lose, and Cleveland, Detroit and the Jets would win?!?! Yeah, me either. My picks were 8-6 this past week.
An interesting tidbit of information for you, the entire AFC only has 2 teams with a winning record. The NFC has 7 teams with winning records.
Lets recap week 6.



Steelers @ Titans 23-26
God bless the Tennessee Titans. While the Steelers were literally falling apart the Titans held it together and won the game as unlikely as it seemed.

Chiefs @ Buccaneers 10-38
The Chiefs are always good at making their opponent look great.

Colts @ Jets 9-35
My prediction was the Jets would win… if they put Tebow in for the entire game. Otherwise the Colts would win.  So I was half right. Tebow did play and the Jets did win but Tebow wasn’t in the entire game. The Colts and Andrew Luck weren’t so lucky as they were rolled by the Jets.

Bengals @ Browns 24-34
And the Browns get their first win of the season! Yes, this was a shock to me too, but good for them.

Raiders @ Falcons 20-23
Atlanta is still perfect after this win, but I don’t think this will last too much longer if the Falcons continue to play as they did this game. Matt Ryan had 3 interceptions and they still won the game on a clutch field goal with one second remaining.

Lions  @ Eagles 26-23 OT
I mean I picked the Lions to win this game but I didn’t actually think they would pull it off. I’m so glad they did! I don’t even care that it took overtime to do it. 

Rams @ Dolphins 14-17
The Dolphins got lucky at home. Had the Rams kicker not missed 3 field goals they would have won the game.

Cowboys  @ Ravens 29-31
The Cowboys had SO MANY opportunities to win this game and still LOST!!!!!! I’m not sure who exactly I should thank for this loss… the Cowboys or the Ravens!

Bills @ Cardinals 19-16 OT
Still kind of scratching my head at the outcome of this game. I really can’t believe the Bills won. On the other hand, are the Cardinals now showing their true colors?

Patriots @ Seahawks 23-24
It’s crazy to think my logic is right. I purposely picked the Pats to win this game because whenever I pick them to lose they win and whenever I pick them to win they lose. More importantly, way-to-go Seattle!!!!! Not only do your uniforms look sharp so do you!

Giants @ 49ers 26-3
I knew it was going to be a good day when I walked into the Ginn’s living room and the “Shenoa football watching chair” was already in place waiting for me. This chair actually lives at the other side of the house and is moved into the living room for the soul purpose of me watching football in it. As I type this out I realize how “princess-esk” I sound. Anyway, I sat down, took my knitting out, put my giants socks on (I already had my Cruz jersey and Giants panties on) and got ready for a stressful, nail biting, loud, upsetting game. I usually don’t like one-sided games UNLESS the Giants are on the winning side of them. So when Eli came out firing that ball with such great accuracy I was suddenly put at ease. Cruz and Hixon, had some AMAZING catches. Our running game was also outstanding. In the two weeks before this game the 49ers had put up a combined 79 points and only walked away with 3 points against the Giants. It was a fantastic game to say the least.

Vikings @ Redskins 26-38
I sure was wrong about this game. I hate when I’m wrong.

Packers @ Texans 42-24
It looks like the Packers are back… at least for this week. I just knew they were going to knock off the Texans and give them their first loss of the season.

Broncos @ Chargers 35-24
If you were anything like me watching this game you were so disgusted by half time you thought about shutting off the game. I did actually leave my friend’s house at half time but with my awesome new truck I got to listen to the game on my Sirius Radio. By the time I had arrived home the Broncos had scored twice. As I was walking up the stairs to my apartment I knew that the game was going to have to go back on and I wasn’t going to be going to bed for awhile. So glad I stayed up for the whole game! Peyton Manning is clutch. He had 3 touchdowns in the 2nd half and Phillip Rivers and company completely fell apart and gave up their 24-0 lead. The Broncos had 35 unanswered points making history by coming back from so far behind and winning by double digits.  


WEEK 7

Thursday October 18th

Seahawks [4-2]  @ 49ers [4-2] (8:20pm NFLN)
I’d like to see the Seahawks win but the 49ers are coming off a very humiliating loss and I don’t think they’ll lose two weeks in a row so I’m going to have to pick the 49ers to win this game.

Sunday October 21st  

Ravens [5-1] @ Texans [5-1] (1pm CBS)
I’m going to have to pick the Texans… The Ravens are pretty beat up. They’ve lost Ray Lewis for the year and that hurts them tremendously.

Titans [2-4]  @ Bills [3-3]  (1pm CBS)
As crazy as it seems I’m going to pick the Bills to win. I’m pretty sure we all picked them to win this game in the preseason as well.

Browns [1-5]  @ Colts [2-3]   (1pm CBS)
I think the Colts are going to bounce back this week and beat the Browns. Though, if the Browns beat the Colts it wouldn’t break my heart.

Cardinals [4-2]   @ Vikings [4-2]   (1pm FOX)
I’d really like to see the Vikings win although I’m pretty upset with them for losing last week. I still think they’ll bounce back and beat the Cardinals.

Cowboys [2-3]  @ Panthers [1-4] (1pm FOX)
There are so many reasons why I want the Panthers to win this game. That being said, Panthers, I’m letting my heart get in the way of my head and I’m picking you to beat the Cowboys. So win ok.

Packers [3-3] @ Rams [3-3]   (1pm FOX)
I’m going to have to take the Packers.

Saints [1-4] @ Buccaneers [2-3]   (1pm FOX)
I’m taking the Saints.

Redskins [3-3] @ NY Giants [4-2]   (1pm FOX)
Obviously I’m picking the GMEN. Dear Giants, we can’t lose anymore divisional games. You have to win this week. Love always and forever. Shenoa.

Jets [3-3] @ Patriots [3-3] (4:25pm CBS)
I’m using my Pats picking logic again and picking the Pats to win so hopefully they’ll lose. Go J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS.

Jaguars [1-4]  @ Raiders [1-4]  (4:25pm CBS)
I’m going to have to pick the Raiders.

Steelers [2-3]  @ Bengals [3-3]   (8:20pm NBC)
It would be super sweet to see the Bengals beat the Steelers. But I’m going to have to pick the Steelers to win this game. I hope I’m wrong.

Monday October 22nd  

Lions [2-3] @ Bears [4-1]    (8:30pm ESPN)
 DA BEARS

BYE WEEK: FALCONS, BRONCOS, CHIEFS, DOLPHINS, EAGLES, CHARGERS

Thanks for the edit Mom!


GOOOOOOOOOOOOO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
