NFL 2011 Week 7 Round-Up

Everyone picked pretty well this week, though I gained a game.

Chargers at Jets

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

The Wife: Jets

Me: Chargers

Steve: Jets

WINNER: Jets (good for them; though it's becoming increasingly clear that with the Patriots kicking butt, the Jets are chasing a wild card birth once again . . .)

Bears at Bucs

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

The Wife: Bears

Me: Bears

Steve: Bucs

WINNER: Bears (the Bucs are really up and down this year . . .)

Redskins at Panthers

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

The Wife: Panthers

Me: Panthers

Steve: Panthers

WINNER: Panthers (I bet next year the Panthers get some prime time games)

Falcons at Lions

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

The Wife: Lions

Me: Falcons

Steve: Lions

WINNER: Falcons (not to be blasphemous, but Suh, Fairley & Co. haven't been quite as destructive for the Lions as everyone predicted . . .)

Seahawks at Browns

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

The Wife: Seahawks

Me: Browns

Steve: Seahawks

WINNER: Browns ("the battle of the mediocre!" I said; have truer words ever been spoken?)

Broncos at Dolphins

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

The Wife: Broncos

Me: Dolphins

Steve: Broncos

WINNER: Broncos (a good reminder that you shouldn't leave the stadium until 0:00 shows on the clock).

Texans at Titans

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

The Wife: Titans

Me: Titans

Steve: Texans

WINNER: Texans

Chiefs at Raiders

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

The Wife: Raiders

Me: Chiefs

Steve: Raiders

WINNER: Chiefs (I understand why the Raiders were desperate, but I'm really not convinced Palmer has the arm strength/accuracy to play anymore . . . he's been on a downhill slide for a few years now, and ten months on the couch hasn't helped)

Steelers at Cardinals

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

The Wife: Steelers

Me: Steelers

Steve: Steelers

WINNER: Steelers (my pre-season prediction that the Cards would win the NFC West may have been a tad mistaken)

Packers at Vikings

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

The Wife: Packers

Me: Packers

Steve: Packers

WINNER: Packers (didn't watch this one, but sounds like it was a much closer game than most people expected)

Rams at Cowboys

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

The Wife: Cowboys

Me: Cowboys

Steve: Cowboys

WINNER: Cowboys

Colts at Saints

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

The Wife: Saints

Me: Saints

Steve: Saints

WINNER: Saints (62-7! Never have I witnessed such an NFL beatdown. Seriously.)

Ravens at Jags

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

The Wife: Ravens

Me: Ravens

Steve: Ravens

WINNER: Jags (a nice upset; the "Any Given Sunday" theory still holds. Inconsistent Ravens offense is the reason that some pundits who thought they were the best team in the AFC need to watch more Patriots games)

THIS WEEK

The Wife: 8-5

Me: 9-4

Steve: 8-5

CUMULATIVE

The Wife: 57-49

Me: 60-46

Steve: 70-36
