Week 7 already. Hopefully we see no injuries this week. It's football but it feels like we've already seen a seasons worth of injuries. Maybe two seasons worth. Here are some game predictions.
Byes: Detroit Lions, Houston Texans
Baltimore Ravens @ Minnesota Vikings
Pick: Vikings
The Vikings have scratched their way to the top of the NFC North with uncertainty every week at the quarterback position. They can't let up against the Ravens with their Week 9 bye in sight.
Arizona Cardinals @ Los Angeles Rams (London)
Pick: Cardinals
Adrian Peterson has injected some life into the Cardinals offense. Too often these London games are terribly sad. This one has the potential to be a terrific game. I hope that it is.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Buffalo Bills
Pick: Bills
It feels like a strange world when I have more faith in Tyrod Taylor than Jameis Winston.
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Indianapolis Colts
Pick: Colts
An upset?
New York Jets @ Miami Dolphins
Pick: Jets
The Dolphins somehow beat the Atlanta Falcons last week. The Jets gave the New England Patriots a fight. The Dolphins have Jay Cutler. I pick the Jets.
Carolina Panthers @ Chicago Bears
Pick: Panthers
The Bears are a couple of late game plays from flipping their 2-4 record to 4-2. The Bears are tough. The Panthers are better. But a Bears win shouldn't be a surprise.
Tennessee Titans @ Cleveland Browns
Pick: Titans
It's tough to pick the Browns in any game.
New Orleans Saints @ Green Bay Packers
Pick: Saints
A Drew Brees-Aaron Rodgers duel would've been a beauty. While I think that the Packers will rally around new starting quarterback Brett Hundley it's tough to pick them in his first start.
Dallas Cowboys @ San Francisco 49ers
Pick: 49ers
The 49ers have been close to their first win in nearly all of their games. How about they get that first one against their one time rival?
Seattle Seahawks @ New York Giants
Pick: Seahawks
Two straight wins for the Giants? It's tough to pick a second win against the Seahawks when they have nearly two weeks to prepare for the game.
Denver Broncos @ Los Angeles Chargers
Pick: Chargers
It's tough to pick the Broncos with their Monday night performance still so fresh.
Cincinnati Bengals @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Pick: Bengals
The Steelers have been sloppy and wildly inconsistent. That's a terrible combination. The Bengals are finally playing like most expected them to play. This prediction is a coin flip.
Atlanta Falcons @ New England Patriots
Pick: Patriots
Super LI rematch! Neither team is playing like a Super Bowl team. I'll go with the home team.
Washington Redskins @ Philadelphia Eagles
Pick: Eagles
Sunday Night Football got this week's "headlines game." Monday Night Football got the best game. The Redskins are playing well. Their defense has been tough. The Eagles might be playing the best football right now. And the Eagles are at home.
