Week 7 Picks

If you're reading this, I'm assuming you know me so there is really no need for an introduction. I didn't want to write an interesting hook to start this sucker off so I'm going to go a different route and jump right into my Week 7 NFL Picks. I've had a couple of pretty good weekends lately. Of course, now that I said that I am on the fast track to a 5-8 weekend. Here goes nothing.
**Keep in mind, this blog isn't going to be about just sports betting. I'll use it to blast the Eagles wack ass linebackers, rip David Stern and Billy Hunter for being douchebags, and talk about how insanely good Claude Giroux is. If you don't know who any of those people are then there is really no point in continuing to read. You've been warned.


Chicago -1 @ Tampa: I have been high on the Bucs all year and think that everyone will overrate Chicago based on the curbstomping of Minnesota on SNF. I'm taking the Bucs +1.
Washington +2.5 @ Carolina: I feel like NFL D Coordinators are starting to figure out Cam Newton. However, let's not forget that John Beck is the Redskins starting quarterback. Not sure why everyone is excited about Beck taking over for Grossman. There is a reason Sexy Rexy was the starter for the first six weeks. He's better than Beck. If John Beck is a downgrade from Rex, gimme the Panthers -2.5.
San Diego -2 @ New York Jets: Haven't been on the Jets on all year. I don't think SD has looked good so far. Losing Sproles in the offseason and having Gates on the sidelines really hurts them. Butttt, as my good friend Soaps pointed out, the Jets are preparing with a short week and the Chargers are coming off a bye. I'll take the Chargers -2.
Seattle +3 @ Cleveland: This is one of the games that I don't feel comfortable touching because I just don't give a shit about it. I think Charlie Whitehurst will help out Seattle's passing game a little. Cleveland's offense lacks any kind of deep threat. Hate to say it but I'll take Seattle +3 on the road.
Houston +3.5 @ Tennessee: I don't have a strong feeling about this game, either. I don't like Houston and am lukewarm to Tennessee. I'll take the healthier team coming off a bye. Give me Tennessee -3.5.
Denver +2.5 @ Miami: Tebow, Tebow, Tebow. I know it seems too easy and if Denver played anyone else, I'd probably pick against him but Miami isn't good. For God's sake it's Matt Moore! Gimme Denver +2.5.
Atlanta +3.5 @ Detroit: Whenever Atlanta reverts back to 2010 and starts running the Burner 20+ times a game, let me know. Until they do that, I'll keep going against them. Detroit -3.5 is the pick.
Kansas City +4.5 @ Oakland: I don't buy Carson Palmer's playbook concerns. He's a veteran, the Raiders playbook is simple, anyway. Throw it deep to DHB, Ford and their other sub 4.4 wideouts. Or hand it off to McFadden. The Chiefs suck. Oakland -4.5, thanks.
Pittsburgh -3.5 @ Arizona: I really wanted to take Arizona here and just pray they lost by three. Beanie is going to run on this defense, but Kolb won't be able to keep them from loading the box in the second half. Take Pittsburgh -3.5.
Dallas -12.5 @ St Louis: I don't feel the need to say much about this except St Louis has a JV secondary and Dallas has a pretty dirty receiving core. Dallas -12.5 is easy money.
Green Bay -9 @ Minnesota: GB is due to put up a stinkbomb. This ain't the game. Christian Ponder will make a few plays of note and the loss won't be his fault but Green Bay -9 is my pick.
Indianapolis +14 @ New Orleans: I don't know what it is about this New Orleans team, but I don't buy them. And for some reason, I think this Indy team can hang with everyone and not beat anybody. I'll take Indy +14.
Baltimore -7.5 @ Jacksonville: I've heard multiple analysts call this Ravens D as good as the 01 D that won the SB single handedly (sorry, Trent). The Ravens average margin of victory is 22.5 points this year. Do I need to make myself any more clear. I refuse to put this one in bold print, it's that clear.

*There you go. Those are my picks for the weekend. In all honesty, if you bet the opposite of every single pick, you would probably win money. There are 13 games this weekend, the goal for every weekend is to just finish above .500, let's see how that works out.
