NFL Picks, Week 7

It's already Week 7 of the NFL season. My, how time flies.

Last Week: 8-5
Season: 57-32

Here are some more picks:

Minnesota at Dallas: The Cowboys were kicked all over the field by the mighty Patriots, but now face a mortal Vikings team. The Vikes, however, unleashed rookie star RB Adrian Peterson for a million yards last week. Still, the Vikings won't be able to outscore the Romosexuals. Pick: Dallas

Tennessee at Houston: Vince Young and the old Houston Oilers return to Houston for their annual visit. Both teams have been bit by the injury bug. Never pick against Vince Young in Houston. The Texans will continue to regret that non-pick for years to come. Pick: Titans

Tampa Bay at Detroit: Bucs continue to surprise the world. Lions are coming off a bye, and have developed a high-scoring, high-powered offense with offensive coordinator Mike Martz. You may remember him as the mad scientist in St. Louis. The Bucs are going to finish with a good season. But, for one game, give me the Lions. Pick: Detroit

Atlanta at New Orleans: The Saints finally got off the schneid last week in Seattle. The Falcons are horrible, but are changing QBs this week, as Byron Leftwich gets the start for Atlanta. The Saints aren't where they want to be as of yet, but they get their second win in a row this week. Pick: New Orleans

Baltimore at Buffalo: The Ravens play ugly and win. The Bills have had two weeks to think about that Monday night heartbreaker against Dallas. Look for a low-scoring game here. Matt Stover will be used often to kick field goals for the Ravens. Pick: Baltimore

San Francisco at New York Giants: 49ers make the long flight to Gotham, where the Giants are starting to look strong. It's tough for West Coast teams to do well on the East Coast. This will be no exception. Giants have a strong running game. Pick: G-Men

Arizona at Washington: Redskins lost a close one last week in Green Bay. They bounce back this week against the mercurial Cardinals. Pick: Washington

New England at Miami: The Patriots should only need to play the starters for a half in this game. They're that good. Tom Brady throws the Dolphins back into the ocean. Pick: Pats

Kansas City at Oakland: One of the great old AFL rivalries. The Chiefs are surprisingly tied for first place in the AFC West. Not much was expected from them this year. The Raiders have won two games this year, which is what some expected them to win for the entire season. Pick: Kansas City

New York Jets at Cincinnati: Woeful Jets visit Cincinnati, where the Bengals are looking for an opponent to outscore. The Bengals have a suspect defense, but they will be able to outscore the Jets. Pick: Cincinnati

Chicago at Philadelphia: This has ugly written all over it. Neither team is that bad, but this will be a muck-it-up, grind-it-out game. Pick: Philly

St. Louis at Seattle: Speaking of ugly, this one defines it. The Rams are pathetic. The Seahawks are inconsistent. I'm glad I won't be watching this one. Pick: Seattle

Pittsburgh at Denver: The Steelers are a good team. The Broncos are not. That is hard for people in Colorado to get used to. It's going to be a long night at Mile High. Pick: Pittsburgh

Indianapolis at Jacksonville: The Jaguars get their opportunity to ambush the Colts. The Colts are undefeated and coming off a bye week. This has Monday Night upset written all over it. However, the Colts are good enough to hold off the upset bid. The Colts are trying to keep up with the Patriots. Pick: Indy

Bye: Carolina, Cleveland, Green Bay, San Diego
