Continue reading →: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons: 2013 Week 7 NFL Pick
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-5) at Atlanta Falcons (1-4) I could go either way on this one. On one hand, Tampa Bay may be 0-5, but DVOA calls them the best 0-5 team ever (at least as far back as they have data, going back to 1991). I don’t have the…

Continue reading →: Cincinnati Bengals at Detroit Lions: 2013 Week 7 NFL Pick
Cincinnati Bengals (4-2) at Detroit Lions (4-2) These two teams are about as evenly matched as two teams can be. They are 9th (Lions) and 10th (Bengals) in my Power Rankings. They have the same record (4-2). The Lions have outscored opponents by a few more points on the season…

Continue reading →: Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts: Week 7 NFL Pick
Denver Broncos (6-0) at Indianapolis Colts (4-2) The Broncos have failed to cover in their last 2 instances, barely winning in Dallas and sleepwalking to a 16 point win over the Jaguars at home. However, the odds makers continue boosting the spread on them as if they are some kind…

Continue reading →: New England Patriots at New York Jets: Week 7 NFL Pick
New England Patriots (5-1) at New York Jets (3-3) Injuries are a huge part of this game write up as the Patriots have one of the most thorough and dynamic injury situations in the NFL. We already know Vince Wilfork is out for the season with a torn Achilles. The…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears at Washington Redskins: 2013 Week 7 NFL Pick
Chicago Bears (4-2) at Washington Redskins (1-4) The Bears seem to be pretty overrated by the public. They are 4-2, but their defense has been nowhere near as good as it traditionally was in the Lovie Smith era. Last year, they were a dominant stop unit that also took the…

Continue reading →: Cleveland Browns at Green Bay Packers: 2013 Week 7 NFL Pick
Cleveland Browns (3-3) at Green Bay Packers (3-2) The Packers are in a great situational trend spot this week, as non-divisional home favorites here against Cleveland before being divisional road favorites in Minnesota next week. Teams are 47-22 ATS in that spot since 2008. They have no distractions on the…

Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings at New York Giants: 2013 Week 7 NFL Pick
Minnesota Vikings (1-4) at New York Giants (0-6) The Giants have yet to win a game this season, but they played their best game of the season last week in Chicago. They moved the ball easily against, admittedly, a Chicago defense that is a shell of its former self thanks…

Continue reading →: Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs: 2013 Week 7 NFL Pick
Houston Texans (2-4) at Kansas City Chiefs (6-0) If Matt Schaub were starting in this one, Houston would have been my Pick of the Week. Seriously. I think they’re significantly better than their record right now. They are just getting killed in turnovers and points off of turnovers, two things…

Continue reading →: Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles: Week 7 NFL Pick
Dallas Cowboys (3-3) at Philadelphia Eagles (3-3) I’ve maintained the whole time that the Cowboys are the best team in the NFC East, especially with the rest of the division flopping in spectacular fashion this season. The Eagles are the best of the rest this season, going 3-3 with wins…

Continue reading →: Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers: 2013 Week 7 NFL Pick
Baltimore Ravens (3-3) at Pittsburgh Steelers (1-4) I’ll admit I was pretty surprised when I saw the Steelers were favorites by 1.5 points here against the Ravens, which essentially suggests these two teams are even. However, it just seems like the odds makers think the Steelers are significantly better than…
