+++ NFL Picks / Week Seven +++
Welcome Back. Here's hoping we can do collectively better than last week. What a train wreck.
Oakland vs. Jacksonville is courtesy of last week's winner RagAss. Good pick -- Oakland showed signs of life last week.
Please post by Sunday, 1:00 pm EST. Good luck!

I usually just pick who I think will win.......but 10.5 points?? C'mon now, I know the Jets aren't gonna suck THAT bad, and it looks like they finally convinced Tebow to be a Running Back instead of a Halfback. Baltimore will be playing for pride the rest of the year now that should-have-been-a-convicted-murderer Ray Lewis is out.......Houston should run all over them. Cincinnati will continue their free-fall.
Oh yeah, and The Yankees suck 
for saving me from a potential loss since I always pick the Cardinals. The injuries of Deuce Lutai & Levi Brown have caught up to the Cardinals. I expect Jared Allen to have a great game. The pass defense is still playing at a high level but the run defense is average and they're up against Adrian Peterson. Plus the Vikings are at the scary Metrodome. Arizona could easily be 4-5 at the bye week with games @Minnesota, vs a well-rested 49ers, and @Green Bay.

Houston
St. Louis
NY Giants
NY Jets
Oakland (spread should probably be higher)
Cincinnati
Chicago
Just expressing my pessimism over the Cardinals outlook for the next 4 games (@Minnesota, SF, @Green Bay, and @Atlanta). Ponder does have 4 picks in his last 2 games after not throwing any his first 4 so there is a silver lining. 
Goblinmonger and thelordofhell with records of 6-1! Outstanding!
PRETZEL and RagAss are runners-up with 5-2. Nice job!
Winners: Please send me games by Wednesday evening. Week 8 schedule here: http://www.nfl.com/schedules/2012/REG8.
Thanks for playing. See you Thursday.

I'm gonna pick the toilet bowl game........Raiders @ Chiefs
Now I have a question about the Bears/Lions game.......didn't the Bears cover the spread?? 6 was the spread and they won by 6......doesn't that mean that they covered it and thus, won??
Bears had to beat 6. +7 points would have won, +5 would have lost.
Raiders / Chiefs ... you've got it. For the life of me I don't know why ... 
As for my pick.........at least it will make a few people care about the game
