Regular Season Week 7
We are
heading into week 7 and the Rams are the only team still undefeated in the NFL.
I am 3-3 in my league, it was another close win. Thank you Tyreek Hill and your
three touchdowns. The Giants played the Eagles last Thursday so even though
they ruined my Thursday night they didn’t ruin my weekend, a stomach bug did
that. Don’t worry, I’m feeling better, and yes, it was probably brought on by
the Giants loss. I went 10-5 on my picks, which is better than other weeks and
better than the NFL Insiders on Showtime!!! As I look outside the wind is
whipping and it looks oh so cold. This morning when I woke up the four letter
word was on the ground... Winter is coming.
Let’s
recap week six.
Eagles
@ NY Giants 34-13
I am
sick and tired of people saying that the Giants would be better without
Manning. If Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers were in Manning’s place this season they
would be getting clobbered just as much. Our offensive line is non existent and
has been for many seasons. Yes, I know Manning can’t scramble, but he never
could and he has not one but two Super Bowl rings. You know what was different
then? An offensive line that actually protected the quarterback. Yes, Eli is
old and he doesn’t have many more seasons with the Giants, one if we are lucky.
I even agree that we need a new quarterback, but you can’t keep blaming JUST
Eli. He has been the rock of the Giants for so long, and when he was protected
he was clutch. The defense had their moments Thursday night and Saquan was the
entire Giants offense for this game. It was a tough loss, especially to the
Eagles, but for this loss I blame the Giants O line, and OBJ for running his
mouth and then not being able to back it up on the field. And that’s all I have
to stay about that.
Chargers @ Browns 38-14
Apparently Phillip Rivers can still throw the football and
he, along with the rest of the Chargers, routed the Browns.
Steelers
@ Bengals 28-21
Stupid
Steelers came back and beat the Bengals late in the game. The Steelers are
going to have to make a hard decision if Bell decides to return. James Conner,
Bell’s replacement, ran for over 100 yards and had two touchdowns this game.
Buccaneers
@ Falcons 29-34
The
Falcons snapped a three game losing streak with this win over the Bucs. And now
the Bucs are just, well, the Bucs we all remember.
Seahawks
@ Raiders 27-3
Yikes,
the Raiders are bad. Just bad. The Seahawks, who aren’t really good this
season, looked stellar against the Raiders. Ouch.
Bears @
Dolphins 28-31 OT
The
Dolphins starting QB Ryan Tannehill did not play in this game. All the critics
said that the Dolphins would struggle without him especially with backup Brock
Osweiler leading the team. Miami proved everyone wrong by beating the Bears in
overtime.
Cardinals
@ Vikings 17-27
The
Cardinals aren’t as bad as once thought but still not good enough to beat the
Vikings. Latavius Murray’s run game really saved the day for the Vikings having
155 yards rushing and a touchdown.
Colts
@ Jets 34-42
Man, I
wish I had the Jets kicker who kicked a franchise record seven field goals in
the win over the Colts. I just wish the Jets defense had done a little better
as I started them in fantasy.
Panthers
@ Redskins 17-23
Josh
Norman loved his reunion on the field with the Panthers, instead of defending
them he picked off Cams pass and helped the Redskins achieve victory.
Bills @
Texans 13-20
Oh the
Bills. Obviously they still have a problem at QB and Peterman isn’t the answer
Buffalo was looking for. He threw a pick 6 at the end of the game sealing their
defeat.
Rams @
Broncos 23-20
This
was an almost too close for comfort game for the Rams, but once again Todd
Gurley was Todd Gurley and saved the day and the game. The Rams are the only
undefeated team left this season.
Jaguars
@ Cowboys 7-40
I think
we both know what Cowboy team and what Jags team actually showed up to this
game. I just got them reversed in my picks.
Ravens
@ Titans 21-0
The
Ravens shutout the Titans and had a team record of 11 sacks in the process. I’m
glad I didn’t play the Titans defense, it just sucked because my opponent
played the Ravens defense…
Chiefs
@ Patriots 40-43
The
Chiefs shouldn’t be too disappointed in this loss. They played a good game and
it took a couple of drives for Mahomes to get comfortable in Foxborough. Tom
Brady got his 200th regular season win because the defense was afraid to tackle
him and draw a penalty. Tyreek Hill had 3 touchdowns which helped me win this
week in fantasy. Speaking of Hill, a Pats fan threw his beer in Hill’s face
after one of his touchdowns. Hill is pressing charges and that Pats fan is no
longer welcome in Foxborough.
49ers @ Packers 30-33
Aaron (I pronounce it A-A-ron) Rodgers led yet another
comeback in the fourth quarter but it was kicker Mason Crosby who secured the
win for Green Bay by kicking a field goal as time expired to beat the 49ers.
WEEK 7
Thursday,
October 18th
Broncos
[2-4] @ Cardinals [1-5] (8:20pm FOX/NFLN/Amazon Prime Video/Twitch)
Even
though the Broncos haven’t won on the road or the Cardinals at home I am
picking the Broncos to win this game. I mean, they have Von Miller. He’s a
beast.
Sunday,
October 21st
Titans [3-3] @ Chargers [4-2] (9:30am CBS)
This game will be played at Wembley Stadium in London. So
make sure you remember to turn the game on Sunday morning. For those on the
East Coast it’ll be like living on the West Coast and watching football with
breakfast. For those on the West Coast, unless you are a diehard Chargers fan,
you should probably just sleep through this one. Even though this is a home
game for the Chargers, London does wacky things to a team. I’m picking the Titans
to win this game only because their time difference is slightly less extreme
and they were quite embarrassed last week by being shut out and they should be
pretty pissed about that. I also need Tennessee to win because I am playing
their defense this week in fantasy…
Patriots
[4-2] @ Bears [3-2] (1pm CBS)
As much
as I’d like to see the Bears win this game I am going to pick the Pats. I hope
Kahlil Mack has a tremendous game and actually knocks Brady around a bit. He’s
not afraid to hit a QB like the Chiefs were.
Bills
[2-4] @ Colts [1-5] (1pm CBS)
The
Bills will be starting Anderson, their third string QB, this week… Do I really
have to report anything else? I’m picking the Colts for the win.
Vikings
[3-2-1] @ Jets [3-3] (1pm FOX)
I am
purposefully not playing the Jets defense because I need Cousins to have a big
game. I am not projected to win in fantasy this week… I’m picking the Vikings
to win and hopefully have a big game against the Jets.
Lions
[2-3] @ Dolphins [4-2] (1pm FOX)
Nobody
thought the Dolphins would win last week and they did, so I am going to pick
them to win this week at home. I mean, they are undefeated at home so far this
season. The Lions are coming off their bye and might not take the Dolphins
seriously.
Panthers
[3-2] @ Eagles [3-2] (1pm FOX)
As much
as I hate to I’m going to pick the Eagles to win this game. Boooooo. The
Panthers haven’t won a game on the road yet this season and I don’t think that
this game will be any different.
Browns
[2-3-1] @ Buccaneers [2-3] (1pm FOX)
Well,
the Bucs fired their defensive coordinator Mike Smith on Monday after their
third straight loss of the season. We’ll see if they do any better this Sunday
with the linebackers coach Mark Duffner taking over for Smith. The Browns and
the Bucs have the same wins and losses on the season but the Browns don’t seem
to do well on the road so I am going to have to pick the Bucs to win this game.
Texans
[3-3] @ Jaguars [3-3] (1pm CBS)
I’m picking the Jags to bounce back and beat the
Texans after their embarrassing loss last week.
Saints
[4-1] @ Ravens [4-2] (4:05pm FOX)
Everyone
is picking the Ravens to win this game because of their defense’s amazing win
last week. I am going to pick the Saints to win because I don’t think the
Ravens can play at that caliber two weeks in a row.
Rams
[6-0] @ 49ers [1-5] (4:25pm CBS)
I’m
picking the Rams to win this game, though this could be a trap game for the
Rams as they are undefeated and the 49ers have only won one game.
Cowboys
[3-3] @ Redskins [3-2] (4:25pm CBS)
I’m
picking the Redskins to win this game but hoping for a tie. This should be a
good game to watch especially for a divisional game.
Bengals
[4-2] @ Chiefs [5-1] (8:20pm NBC)
For the
second week in a row the Chiefs will play the Sunday night game. This time I
think they will win. I imagine this will be a high scoring game, and a fun game
to watch.
Monday,
October 22nd
NY Giants [1-5] @ Falcons [2-4] (8:15pm ESPN)
I think the Giants can win this game if they can actually
protect Eli. I’m not going to pick them to win because, like I said before,
they have to win two in a row before I pick them to win again. Sigh.
BYES:
Packers, Raiders, Steelers, Seahawks
GO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
for the edit Eric!
