NFL Week 7 picks

Another 4-2 week for me gives me one more game on Loren after he went 3-3. 26-10 to 17-17.

Denver at Indianapolis
Derek - Denver. The Broncos are rolling and for all the love that Indy gets they don't seem to be an eleite team. They went out and got a name running back but don't use him that well and have lost 2 close games. Guess what this one won't be close.
Loren – Denver. Okay, everyone is making a big to-do over this, with Manning returning and Irsay being the DB we always thought he was. Long story short, Denver could struggle if the colts go pass happy like the Cowboys did. Still, Denver should remain undefeated.

Tampa Bay at Atlanta
Derek - Atlanta. The bye week couldn't have come at a better time for the Falcons, ok if it happend the week the Julio Jones went out, that would have been better. This team need to regroup in a big way. They still have more talent than the Bucs and I think they'll find their way to win #2.
Loren – Tampa Bay. Fear Mike Glennon! Okay, I'm really taking the Bucs because Atlanta's offense has been decimated and the Bucs' D is decent. Atlanta's secondary is atrocious and should provide Glennon with ample opportunity to get comfortable and hit his targets.

Dallas at Philadelphia
Derek - Dallas. It's for all the marbles! Ok, not all the marbles just the NFC East marbles. Can one of these teams get to 8-8 and win the division. Who knows! Who cares! I picked Dallas to win the division at the begining of the year and I might as well stick with them here. Plus I have two of their crappy WRs on my crappy fantasy team and I need them to do well.
Loren – Philadelphia. Taking the P-Train at home! Wait, that didn't sound right. Regardless, Dallas is near the bottom of the heap in passing yards allowed. DeSean Jackson is going to have a field day.

New England at NY Jets
Derek - New England. J E T S S U C K S!
Loren – New England. Never. Take. The. Jets.

Houston at Kansas City
Derek - Kansas City. Some time the Chiefs are going to loose but not to a bad bad Houston team starting a 3rd string QB.
Loren – Houston. KC keeps winning, but they have a record well above their caliber as a team. Both teams' defenses are eerily similar, but Houston's offense is several steps ahead of KC, even with a new QB stepping in. KC's D is weak against the run and Houston will throw a 1-2 Foster/Tate punch at them all day.

Minnesota at NY Giants
Derek - NY Giants. Close game but the G-Men have to win sometimes. We'll see how the new QB in Minnesota will do but I think Eli will get one here.
Loren – Minnesota. Another new QB, another win. The hapless Giants will not be able to stop AP, Brandon Jacobs will demonstrate his uncanny ability to dash NY's hopes and dreams, and Freeman will have just enough good mojo from a fresh start to help the Vikes win. Will the Giants even get a victory before their week 9 bye?
