Week 7 NFL Picks & Odds

Here is a list of my picks as well as the spreads and totals available for all the week 7 NFL games *(Home Teams are listed on bottom of matchup):

Baltimore -3-120 34.5
Buffalo

The Ravens have all the tools necessary to get the job done even with Kyle Boller at the helm. McGahee should be able to find the holes in the weak Buffalo D and Derrick Mason has been getting open alot! Add to the fact that the Baltimore Defense will be harrasing Trent Edwards all night and it seems like an easy pick. Buffalo had their chance at glory against the Cowboys and blew it so I don't expect them to turn things around any time soon.

Arizona
Washington -8.5 36

The Skins are coming off a dissapointing loss to Green Bay in a game where Jason Campbell was doing everything without a supporting cast to back them. Now they are back at home and hopefully refocused. 8.5 points seems like alot but when you see that Arizona doesn't have a quarterback at the moment with Kurt Warner going down last week leaving unproven Tim Rattay in the top spot and then the point spread isn't that high. Washington wins by 2 TD's at least!

Atlanta
New Orleans -9 42.5

The bookmakers have it all wrong here! Take ATL and the points as soon as you can! Last weeks win in Seattle does not vindicate the Saints nor was it the turning point in their season, Seattle simply played very poorly and Holmgren is a terrible play caller thats all. Atlanta is coming around quite nicely considering that fact that they had to rebuild the team around Harrington, Jerious Norwood is getting better and better every game Harrington and Roddy White have created chemistry. I like Atlanta to win straight up.

Minnesota
Dallas -9.5 46.5

Dallas got thumped last week by a superior Patriots team and I gotta think that it really hurt their egos. Minnesota is coming off a huge game over Chicago and they are feeling good and playing good....at least Adrian Peterson is, the defense will also be all over Romo. I like Minnesota plus the points and over the total.

New England -17 51.5
Miami

Its the classic matchup of a 6-0 team versus a 0-6 team. The spread is waaay too high. I don't care how good the Pats are you can't give a home team double digit numbers on the spread. I have no doubt that New England will win, but by posting a spread that high you are just making the Fins angry! Plus its about time that something good happened for Miami they are due. Take the points.

San Francisco
NY Giants -9.5

San Fran is lost right now, Alex Smith is shaky, Frank Gore is completely ineffective. The Giants on the other hand seem to be firing on all cylinders. Burress is playing excellent and Manning is on target. The running game is strong although Brandon Jacobs is making me nervous. Nevertheless I like the Giants to ROLL!

Tampa Bay
Detroit -2.5 44.5

I like Detroit fresh off their bye week. They are a good team this year despite what the critics say and Jon Kitna is playing like its his last season....it very well could be. Hes got a great support cast around him and the airel attack is always a good matchup against Tampa. On the other side of the ball Jeff Garcia is surprising everyone with his 103.5 rating and you can never count him out. Regardless, I like Detroit at home to get back on track and get to the postseason.

Kansas City
Oakland -3 +105 37.5

Oakland got thumped last week, but Lamont Jordan wasn't 100% and LT was on fire. This week they host the storied rivalry with KC and if everyone is healthy they should be fine. LJ can be contained because unlike the Begals, the Raiders actually do have a decent Defense. Personally I think the Raiders should start Culpepper, I have a feeling that this will be a ground and pound game with low scores and its gonna take some attitude as well as some finess. Bet Oakland and give the points at plus money.

NY Jets
Cincinnati -6 47

Cincinnati played horribly last week and gave Kansas City a reason for being. At home I think they are quite good but when the Jets come to town you gotta pay attention especially when your Defensive secondary couldn't cover a lineman going out for a pass and they have Jerico Cotchery and Laverneous Coles going deep on you. I think its going to be a high scoring game in the air so over 47 is definantly appealing, and the 6 points is alot to give the angry Jets team.

Chicago
Philidelphia -5.5 41

Chicago has officially been taken off my post season list. The change at quarter back came too little too late and the Defense is all banged up. You can bet that a semi healthy Brian Westbrook has been watching last weeks game film and picking out the same holes that Adrian Peterson found. Philly will roll on these scrubs.

St. Louis
Seattle -9 40

I am soo disgusted with Seattle's play last week that I almost like the Rams to cover. If Seattle can pull their heads out of their ass's then they should have no problem whipping these guys, but Seattle has been a little schitziphrenic lately and they have lost my confidense. At the present time I like Seattle to win but not cover the spread.

Tennessee -1 38.5
Houston

I think this spread is the same as a pick'em the -1 is just to scare the square bettors. Vince Young is less than 100% after straining his quad last week so it seems that a running game is in order and Houston does not fair well against the run. The fact remains that Houston is a tough team and I like them at home. Take Houston and the meaningless 1 point.


SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Pittsburgh -3.5 39.5
Denver

Denver is in a world of hurt right now. Javon Walker will never be 100% this season and Travis Henry is staring down the barrell of a suspension for testing positive for Marijuana, the defense is giving up way too many yards on the ground. Pittsburgh has been all business this year except for that Arizona debacle and they reputation for beating Denver in the mile high city so I like Pitt giving the points and over the total.

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Indianapolis -3 44.5
Jacksonville

Indianapolis is not the same team as last year, yeah they are undefeated but that is all coming to an end and what better place than to a division rival and on Monday Night Football. David Garrard is playing superbly and the Defensive is very confident and able. Manning hasn't posting the kind of numbers we expect and that is much of the reason noone is paying much attention to the fact they are undefeated. They are due to fall, bottom line! Take Jacksonville and the points as well as the money line.
