NFL Week 7 - Picks

While I hate those athlete's who "guarantee" victory (because really, what's the downside to doing this???), I feel very confident in this week. It's time to right the ship as they say. It's been a very close first 6 weeks, and a few picks either way could have had this thing out of reach. That being said, I may have had a few picks go my way too. Either way, this week it's time to break the losing streak. Game seven. Bottom of the ninth. Two outs. I guess this makes me the Rays and Bitch the big bad Red Sox.

Bring it.


So... The story started at 3-0 for Liam and then the momentum shifted to 3-0 for Ling and suddenly in Week 7 the story of the season takes the next great shift and turn. The season series is tied and the momentum is dramatically in favour of Ling.

Can Liam reclaim his good fortune from early in the season? Or will the slide continue, just as last season will Ling lay the smackdown.

I'll take the latter and to put the pressure on, I will make my picks first.

SUNDAY

Baltimore at Miami:
LING: Dolphins
Liam: Dolphins. I initially had the Ravens here, but I didn't want Bitch the opportunity to tie me this week. This week is victory week for me. The Ravens offense is absolutely pathetic...and all these trick plays could throw their great defense off kilter. It's not that I like the Dolphins so much as I don't trust the Ravens once untouchable D. I also hope this doesn't come back to haunt me.

Pittsburgh at Cincinnati:
LING: Steelers
Liam: Steelers

Dallas at St. Louis:
LING: Cowboys
Liam: Cowboys

San Francisco at New York Giants:
LING: Giants
Liam: Giants

Tennessee at Kansas City:
LING: Titans
Liam: Titans

Minnesota at Chicago:
LING: Bears
Liam: Vikings. I'm not crazy about this matchup...but here's my thought process. I've always said that the Vikes have to use the passing game to open up the field for All-Day Peterson. If they can do that, and keep the defence from stacking the line, then they can be successful. With a severely banged up secondary, the Bears may not be able to stop the pass...thereby opening up some space for All-Day to have an encore to last year's thrashing. But that's a big IF.

San Diego at Buffalo:
LING: Bills
Liam: Chargers. I am officially calling out the San Diego Chargers. I'm tired of hearing the excuse of a west coast team having to travel to the east coast. Suck it up you pussies. You work once per week. ONCE. I don't care if you have to travel to the moon. You hike up your skirts and play the game the way you're supposed to.

New Orleans at Carolina:
LING: Saints
Liam: Saints

Detroit at Houston:
LING: Texans
Liam: Texans

Indianapolis at Green Bay:
LING: Colts
Liam: Colts

New York Jets at Oakland:
LING: Raiders
Liam: Jets. Let me guess...This is another situation of Bitch taking the West Coast team because the East Coast team has to travel. If Bret Favre doesn't have enough hair on his chest to suck up a few hour flight then he doesn't deserve to put on a uniform. You've played through worse Bret.

Cleveland at Washington:
LING: Redskins
Liam: Redskins

Seattle at Tampa Bay:
LING: Bucs... I hate myself.
Liam: Bucs. If Bitch can't bring himself to pick his team then I sure as hell won't.

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

Denver at New England:
LING: Patriots
Liam: Patriots

SEASON TO DATE
LING: 52-36
LIAM: 56-32

SWING GAMES:
Vikings (Liam) at Bears (Bitch)
Chargers (Liam) at Bills (Bitch)
Jets (Liam) at Raiders (Bitch)
YIKES...three road teams. Tough call on my part. But I like these matchups. As always, Good Luck Bitch.

Bitch, you still have the overall lead, but not for long, good luck.
