Observations and Predictions... Week 7

One week after posting my worst week in recent memory, I fared even worse in Week 6. I limped to the finish line with a 6-8 record. Awful. The best thing I can say about last week is that it was a great week for the Cowboys. Even though they were on a bye week, the rest of the NFC East lost, so now they are only a game behind the Giants. Vikings and Saints stayed undefeated and both looked great. Patriots obliterated the poor Titans. Falcons came of age in beating the Bears.

Top Performers of the Week
QB-Tom Brady: Ridiculous game against the Titans. 6 TDs and 380 yards.
WR-Randy Moss: The recipient of Brady's big day. 129 yards and 3 scores.
RB-Maurice Jones Drew: 178 yards from scrimmage and 3 TDs in leading the Jags to victory.
TE-Zach Miller: Big day in Oakland's shocking win over Philly. 139 yards and a score.
DEF-Packers:pitched a shutout over Detroit. Also threw in 5 sacks and 3 picks.
Special Teams-KC: Ryan Succop kicked 4 field goals in leading the Chiefs to their first win.

In Week 7, my Cowboys face a tough Falcons team. I give the Cowboys a slight edge as they are coming off their bye week and playing at home. Plus I think starting Miles Austin opposite Roy Williams could be the shot in the arm this offense (and Romo) needs.I also give Pittsburgh a slight edge over the undefeated Vikings. Chicago comes back and beats the Bengals. In my shock of the week, I like the Dolphins at home over the Saints. Giants take out last weeks loss on the Cards... look for the Giants to run all over them. Eagles trounce the Redskins on Monday night.

The rest of Week 7 should go this way: Packers big over Cleveland; Chargers squeek by the Chiefs; Colts huge over the Rams; Patriots could put up another 50 over TB; Houston in a close one over SF; Jets should beat the Raiders; Panthers run all over the Bills;

Fantasy Picks of the Week
QB-Peyton Manning: Colts versus the Rams... it hardly seems fair.
WR-Roddy White: The type of receiver the Cowboys have had problems with in the past. Could be a long day for Newman in the secondary.
RB-DeAngelo Williams: The Bills have been giving up a ton of yardage. Williams will take advantage.
TE-Chris Cooley: Eagles whoas covering tightends continues.
DEF-Packers: Gonna blitz Anderson and Co. into submission.
Special Teams-Houston: Brown kicks and Jacoby returns could prove the difference in this tight one.
