Channeling Bill Simmons:

Bills over Bengals (-8)

Vikings (-2.5) over Panthers

Jets (-2) over Steelers

Bucs over Eagles (-2)

Packers (-3) over Ravens

Texans (-7.5) over Rams

Seahawks (-13.5) over Titans

Chiefs (-8) over Raiders

Broncos (-27) over Jags - I think Denver's defense is pissed after last week.

Patriots (-1.5) over Saints

Cards over Niners (-10.5)

Cowboys (-6) over Redskins

Chargers over Colts (-2.5)

At best, I can finish 6-8 this week. Loved my Bills and Lions covers. I don't know what the hell I was thinking regarding the Jets and Bucs -- especially the Bucs, I think Schiano has about 2-3 more weeks and then he's fired.

The Panthers are apparently the toughest team to pick in the NFL.

I'll pick the Seahawks every time to cover at home. What a flukey game.

The Niners barely covered (but so did the Pats).

Although the Jags @ Broncos line was the biggest ever, we see these large lines from time to time and it seems like the underdog gets pissed at the disrespect and plays their best game of the year. What a fool's bet that would have been.

I think only one home team actually won in the morning games yesterday -- KC. Really strange morning. I picked every single home team to cover except for the Niners, Browns and Ravens.

Kiko Alonso has been a beast so far for the Bills. Leading the NFL in tackles through today.

I went 6-8 last week, I didn't make a pick before the Thursday night game. These picks are therefore worse than free.

Anyway, my week 7 picks, home teams in bold.

Seattle (-7) over Arizona -- I may regret this pick, I want to pick Arizona to at least cover because it's a Thursday night game and Arizona has a pretty good defense. On the other hand it's Carson Palmer vs. that Seattle secondary. But, quite honestly, I'm picking Seattle because if I'm wrong then I'll be even more happy.

Falcons (-7) over Bucs -- The Bucs are a trainwreck and at the point where they quit on their coach. Atlanta is coming off a bye.

Panthers (-6) over Rams -- I don't see how the Rams move the ball against the Panthers.

Bengals over Lions (-3) -- The hardest game to pick this week. I'm just trying to avoid picking a disproportionate number of home teams from covering.

Chargers (-9) over Jaguars

Dolphins (-7.5) over Bills

Patriots (-3.5) over Jets

Cowboys over Eagles (-3)

Bears over Redskins (-1) -- Why are the Redskins favored at all in this game? Washington would be winless had Terrel Pryor been healthy for the Raiders. The Bears just came off a pseudo-bye.

Titans over 49ers (-4.5)

Chiefs (-7) over Texans

Packers (-10) over Browns

Steelers (-1) over Ravens -- Shockingly, I don't think the Steelers have given up on the season

Broncos (-7) over Colts

Giants (-3.5) over Vikings -- The NFC East= the 2010 NFC West. The division is a mess. To get to 7-9 the Giants would have to go 7-3. They have six home games and four road games left. They're a trainwreck right now, but the hated Giants get on these two hot streaks and have the luckiest QB in the NFL.

I picked eight home teams to cover vs. seven road teams. I'm the most confident in the Panthers, Patriots and Falcons covering. I want to be confident in the Packers over the Browns but their receivers have been hammered this year. The Packers will win and probably by 10 or more, but I'm not sure about that at all. I like the Chiefs a lot, their secondary is going to eat Yates alive. But is the team super pissed because of the cheering for Schaub's injury, do the Texans have their best week of practice all year?

The timing of this article is really stupid.

Marshawn not happy his number wasn't called after being stopped at the 6 inch line. Lets Uncle Pete know about it.

I'm amazed that Palmer doesn't throw even more picks. He's horrible.

I think he had a good year once. And he's been living off that year for about 10 years now it seems.

That play is worth watching over and over.

I enjoyed that bogus whatever-the-hell-that-call-was on the Pats.

J-E-T-S!!!!

I just like watching Belicheck's face when they lose. He always looks like he just had a big old bite of turd sandwich.

Are NFL defenses starting to figure out the Bronco offense? I missed the first half, but have seen the two 3 and outs in the second half and the Bronco's weren't close to getting first downs. On this last drive on 3rd and 5, Manning throws a difficult pass to a guy who was double covered with a third guy coming over - the play had no chance. Manning, on 3rd and 5, has been automatic for the most part this season.

[The_Douger]

I think Manning is just having his yearly choke job when he gets nervous.

Denver's had big problems on the offensive line as well, and it shows tonight.
