Week 7 Picks - TPC

Quick picks this week....

Washington -9 vs Arizona
Who's starting for the Cards this week, Neil Lomax? They are so beaten up I'd give 14 points in this game. By the way, is it just me or is Brenda Warner borderline hot now that she got rid of the buzz cut?? Sorry...it's the painkillers talking.

New Orleans -9 vs Atlanta
The Byron Leftwich era in Atlanta has officially begun. While this is a ton of points to give, I say the Saints open up a can on the Falcons this week. Saints by double-digits.

Baltimore - 3 @ Buffalo
Trent Edwards, meet the Baltimore Ravens' defense. You'll be seeing a lot of them this week. Look for Kyle Boller (fantasy alert!) to pick apart the Bills D...I can't believe I said that. Ravens roll.

Dallas -9.5 vs Minnesota
It's official, I'm taking all the damn favorites. Never a good sign! I would take the Vikes in this game if they didn't come out and publicly say Peterson will still split carries with Chester Taylor. Nobody can convince me this is a good idea. Cowboys win big in a statement game.

New England -16.5 @ Miami
The Dolphins generally play the Pats tough at home but I just can't bring myself to taking Cleo Lemon and Marty Booker. This game could get ugly early. Pats pound the fish...or mammals...or whatever.

San Francisco +9.5 @ New York Giants
Finally, an underdog. I like for the 9ers to keep this game close. The Giants should pull away late, but I'm looking for a late cover here. Here's to gambling...WOO HOO!

Tampa Bay+1 @ Detroit
Tough game here. My gut says go with the home team but Tampa just seems to find ways to win. I think they'll eek out another win this week. This feels like a 17-14 type game to me.

Tennessee -1 @ Houston
This game depends entirely on if VY is playing. Last reports say he's clos to playing so I'm going out on a limb here. Mark my words, though. If Vince doesn't play, the Titans will not win this game.

Oakland -1 vs Kansas City
KC looked rejuvenated last week but there's no way in hell I'm taking the road team in this rivalry. This should actually be an entertaining game between two very bad teams.

Cincinnati -6 vs New York Jets
This game is a fork in the road for these two teams, and they're inevitably headed in opposite directions. Not even Chad "Dead Man Walking" Pennington will be able to pick apart the Bengals' paper-thin defense. Look for Cincy to right the ship and pick up a much needed win.

Philadelphia -5 vs Chicago
To stick with the them of taking the home favorites, I'll take my chances with Philly in this one. I can see it now - Brian Westbrook pulls an Adrian Peterson and destroys any fantasy team in his path. I sure hope I'm not playing the team this week that owns him. Iggles by a td.

Seattle -9 vs St. Louis
Seattle wins 42-6.

Pittsburgh -3 @ Denver
I really don't think this game will be close. Big Ben is having a breakout year (another one) the Steelers look like a legit threat in the AFC. Funny but I'd feel more comfortable taking the Broncos if they still had Jake Plummer. Hmmm.....

Indianapolis -3 @ Jacksonville
This game should be close but the Colts will make David Garrard beat them....he's not capable of doing that. As long as Indy stops the run, they will roll. 21-13 Ponies sounds about right.

Sorry for the quick picks....busy week. This could very well be the week I go 0-14. It is very possible.
