Football Week 7

October 21, 2004

Once Again its time to talk football. Last week my picks went an amazing 12-2. My total for the season improves to 59-29. Without further ado, here are my picks for Week 7:

Sunday, Oct 24, 2004

1:00 PM Atlanta (5-1) vs. Kansas City (1-4) The Chiefs pull out a win at home

1:00 PM Detroit (3-2) vs. New York NYG (4-1) The Lions win on the road
1:00 PM Chicago (1-4) vs. Tampa Bay (1-5) The Bucs get a break against a lousy Bears Team

1:00 PM Philadelphia (5-0) vs. Cleveland (3-3) The Iggles are on a roll and won’t stop in Cleveland
4:05 PM New York NYJ (5-0) vs. New England (5-0) One of these teams is gonna lose, but the Pats’ streak will stay in tact one more week
4:15 PM Seattle (3-2) vs. Arizona (1-4) ‘Hawks win
4:15 PM New Orleans (2-4) vs. Oakland (2-4) Raiders win
4:15 PM Dallas (2-3) vs. Green Bay (2-4) The Pack wins
Monday, Oct 25, 2004
9:00 PM Denver (5-1) vs. Cincinnati (1-4) The red hot Broncos win

My fantasy team, The Charm City Bruiser, on the other hand, suffered a gut wrenching loss last week to the Happy Lemons. The victory was in our sites, but a fumble and an interception for Marc Bulger put it out of reach. This week we face the WoodChucks Gone Wild and we need a win. We are 3-3 right now and need some separation from the rest of the pack. I’m confident that my studs; Bulger and Curtis Martin; can beat his studs; Plummer and Ahman Green.

The Ravens are back from the bye, but without Jamal Lewis. The Bills are suffering and this should be a good chance for Boller to establish himself and build some confidence. I don’t expect greatness, just presence and decision making. If they can’t find some offensive rhythm this week, it could get ugly in Philly next week.
