NFL  > Arizona Cardinals  > WEEK #7 PICKS- THERE WILL BE NO ABERRATIONS THIS WEEK.
October 16, 2012, 11:58 AM
Thursday 10/18/12

seattle @ SAN FRANCISCO- Teams with home-field advantage on Thursdays is 5-1, 6-1 if you want to throw in the Wed. NYG's @ Dallas to start the season. Harbaugh as a profession coach has not lost 2 games in a row. Seattle is coming off a last minute come from behind win over N. E., the 49ers got their butts kicked by NYG's. Will Joe Staley be activated at LT or will Alex Boone fill in? Will the offensive line be able to keep Alex Smith upright and give him time to throw the ball ? Will the 49ers be able to pressure Wilson?

Sunday 10/21/12

browns @ COLTS- Like I said Week #6 was an aberration, Browns beat the Bengals?

REDSKINS @ Giants- Call it a hunch

cardinals @ VIKINGS- The Vikings are at home, AZ offensive line sucks.

COWBOYS @ panthers- Someone tell Romo the window is closing and he will win.

SAINTS @ buccaneers- Saints motivation; "Hey we aren't cheap shot artists"

PACKERS @ rams- will the momentum carry over for Green Bay?

ravens @ TEXANS - Ravens have injuries to key players and are on the road.

titans @ BILLS- Both teams won in Week #6. Which team was more of an aberration?

jets @ PATRIOTS- Are the Patriots still in shock?

jaguars @ RAIDERS- Raiders played good against Atlanta, they should beat the Jags.

steelers @ BENGALS- Was Week #6 an aberration? Big questions about the loser.

Monday 10/22/12

lions @ BEARS- Bears coming of a BYE WEEK, did it invigorate them or did it trigger their hibernation part of the season? This is the Bears 2nd Monday night game in October, they are currently 1-0, the last 3 Monday night games have been won by visiting teams. Detroit is coming off a big win @ Philly, Can Motown win One-Mo time on the road and get themselves back in the NFC North race, or is their season about over?

(Seattle) @ San Fran - Seahawks have looked like the better team and have a nasty defense that should shut down a 49ers offense that has struggled as of late.

(Browns) @ Colts - Browns got their first home win last week and will get their first road win this week. Browns have been able to score points lately and the defense should hold off a weak Colts offense.

Redskins @ (Giants) - Great division match up. Have to go with a Giants team that finally had a strong defensive stand.

Cardinals @ (Vikings) - Vikings have a good pash rush and defense that should shut down this offense. The Vikings offense should find enough points to win this one.

Cowboys @ (Panthers) - Evenly matched teams, I'll go with the home team.

(Saints) @ Bucs - Saints should out score the Bucs.

(Packers) @ Rams - The Rams offense is hurting with the loss of Amendola and an aging Jackson. Packers defense has been shaky but the offense should score enough points to win this game.

Ravens @ (Texans) - Texans and Ravens have stumbled over the past couple weeks but the Ravens lost another two key defensive players and possibly one of the most inspiring captains in all of football. The Texans should take advantage and pull out a win.

(Titans) @ Bills - Bills barely won against a struggling Cardinals team while the Titans are coming off a big win against Pitt.

Jets @ (Patriots) - Pats almost won against the toughest defense in the league. I expect them to get back on track against their most hated division foe.

Jags @ (Raiders) - Both bottom feeder teams but the Raiders have looked decent as of late so I'll go with them.

(Steelers) @ Bengals - Steelers are hurting but they also haven't just lost to the Browns.

Lions @ (Bears) - Bears defense should shut down a mediocre Lions offense and the Bears offense should have no problem scoring against a struggling defense.

Let's see how the Browns do against the Steelers this season.And i belive the Steelers are playing the Bengals, this is another Divisional game,so it's a flip on what happens in that one.

Same as the LIONS and the BEARS,that's gonna be another great game too watch as i always say? "Any Given Sunday'.sat/mon/thur..

If you mean they are playing like a young team you are correct. They are the 9th youngest team in the league with an avg age of 25.81 years.
