Week 7 2012 Free Football Picks

Tennessee Titans @ Buffalo Bills (-3)

I can’t stand the Bills and I think the Titans will put some points on the board against them (maybe even a Chris Johnson sighting?) but Buffalo has to beat a bad Titans team in Buffalo, right? Matt Hasselbeck doesn’t test defenses deep and I know Buffalo’s secondary likes to take chances. One pick-six and the cover is on!

Washington Redskins (+7) @ New York Giants

This seems like a game the Giants lose. Not fail to cover, but lose. You know, you’ve seen it before from the G-men: they come into the middle weeks flying high, class of the league, just coming off a big win, for sure going to run away with it – only the hit a wall, lose to some teams they shouldn’t, and fall back to earth before stunning people again late and getting into the playoffs. I’ve read that damned poem before, all the shifts in tone and connotation and precise diction up the ying-yang. I’m not falling for it, New York. Go RG3!!!

Arizona Cardinals (+7) @ Minnesota Vikings

Too many points, sorry Vikes. Could Arizona come in and lay an egg behind John Skelton? You bet, he’s bad. But he does target Larry Fitz like it’s his job (and it is) so at least he has that. Also, the Vikings don’t really translate drives into touchdowns, so 7 gets big pretty fast. Both defenses will come to play knowing it’s their job’s to make the ship sail – has a close game feel for me.

New Orleans Saints (-1.5) @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Neither team can afford to lose but one team REALLY can’t afford to lose. Absolutely not. Because they are good, they are used to being good, and everybody knows that good teams can’t go losing a billion out of their first billion and one games. Drew Brees lights a fire this week and the Saints win a road game.
