NFL 2011 Week 7 Predictions

Not a lot of good games this weekend (as evidenced by our unanimity on six of the thirteen), but two things I'm looking forward to on Sunday: the Browns/Seahawks game is going to be televised (only the second time this season I'll have been able to see the Browns play) and to hold up her end of a deal struck earlier in the week, The Wife has promised to do all the baby-sitting!

Chargers at Jets

------------------

The Wife: Jets

Me: Chargers (neither team has looked as good as they did last year)

Steve: Jets

Bears at Bucs

--------------

The Wife: Bears

Me: Bears (I watched the big London game last year, thinking it would be cool because it was in London; but on the field, it doesn't really matter . . .)

Steve: Bucs

Redskins at Panthers

--------------------

The Wife: Panthers

Me: Panthers (what does it say about the 3-2 Redskins that everyone is picking the 1-5 Panthers to win?)

Steve: Panthers

Falcons at Lions

-------------------

The Wife: Lions

Me: Falcons (be gentle with that handshake, Mike Smith, or Schwartz will go after you!)

Steve: Lions

Seahawks at Browns

--------------

The Wife: Seahawks

Me: Browns (the battle of the mediocre!)

Steve: Seahawks

Broncos at Dolphins

--------------

The Wife: Broncos

Me: Dolphins (happy if they lose, as long as Tebow gets some points for my fantasy team)

Steve: Broncos

Texans at Titans

--------------

The Wife: Titans

Me: Titans (probably the most important game of the week from a playoff perspective, but does anyone care?)

Steve: Texans

Chiefs at Raiders

---------------

The Wife: Raiders

Me: Chiefs (even if Palmer starts, he is going to be rusty after sitting on the couch for ten months)

Steve: Raiders

Steelers at Cardinals

-----------------

The Wife: Steelers

Me: Steelers (think the Cards are wondering if Kevin Kolb was worth all the hubbabaloo?)

Steve: Steelers

Packers at Vikings

-------------------

The Wife: Packers

Me: Packers (Christian Ponder for the win! Nah, I'm not that desperate to gain ground . . . yet)

Steve: Packers

Rams at Cowboys

-----------------

The Wife: Cowboys

Me: Cowboys (Josh McDaniels' career is going to keep sliding downwards if he can't get the Rams some points)

Steve: Cowboys

Colts at Saints

---------------

The Wife: Saints

Me: Saints (to be fair, Painter hasn't been terrible)

Steve: Saints

Ravens at Jags

-------------

The Wife: Ravens

Me: Ravens (Blaine Gabbert gets a chance in front of a Monday Night audience)

Steve: Ravens
