Week 7 Picks

Well, because of Hurricane Wilma, the Chiefs-Dolphins game has been moved up a skosh (to tonight). Here in St. Louis, Thunderstorm Entwerp has forced me to move my picks up as well.

Kansas City at Miami: The Dolphins defense is beset by injuries. KC
Detroit at Cleveland: Is there some way we can get Detroit and Baltimore sent down to AA ball? CLE
Green Bay at Minnesota: Boy, did I overestimate the Vikings last week. I won't make that mistake again anytime soon. GB
Indianapolis at Houston: Rumors are flying that Dom Capers is going to be getting more involved in the defense. Shouldn't he be more worried about his team's offense being as bad as it is? IND
New Orleans at St. Louis: Bruce is out, Holt is hurt, Bulger is out, Faulk is old, and the Rams are hanging their hopes on Jamie Martin. NO
Pittsburgh at Cincinnati: It's hard for me to do this as a Bengals fan, but I believe the Steelers are just a better team. Cincinnati's awful run defense can't be covered up in a game against Fast Willie Parker and the Bus. PIT
San Diego at Philadelphia: I have no idea why I'm picking the Eagles. Maybe it's just a hunch. PHI
San Francisco at Washington: Tim Rattay, last year's starting quarterback, was just traded to Tampa for a box of Cracker Jacks. WAS
Dallas at Seattle: Kirsten has a hard time getting excited about either team. I picked Seattle, she picked "enh." SEA
Baltimore at Chicago: Chicago should be sent down to the freaking rookie leagues. BAL
Buffalo at Oakland: The Bills are the 7th-worst team in the league in terms of giving up sacks. Losman and Bledsoe weren't the problem, the OL was, and still is. OAK
Denver at N.Y. Giants: According to ESPN's John Clayton, Tom Coughlin is furious about his team's loss last week to Dallas. It's not like that's news - Coughlin was furious the last time he broke wind. DEN
Tennessee at Arizona: This pick is based solely on the teams' defensive rankings. Arizona is slightly less crappy. ARI
N.Y. Jets at Atlanta: Even Vinny can't save his team from another tough road loss. ATL
