NFL Predictions Week 7

Been off the predictions for the last week but I'm back and ready for some upsets.  Here comes the Fantasy Breakdown. 

Cincinnati @ Atlanta

Cincy is coming off the bye week and Ochocinco is pissed.  Based on his social media rants over the last week I feel like Chad is planning on some big stuff this week.  Matt Ryan has played very well at home and I don't look for that to change but I do look for what would be a little bit of an upset with Cincy pulling out the win over Atlanta. 

Washington @ Chicago

Jay Cutler has been playing pretty well but not up to the usual standards and his concussion a few weeks back surely didn't help matters.  McNabb is looking up from their big win over Green Bay last week and Santana Moss continues to play extremely well.  The only downside to the Skins this week is Chris Cooley is still a doubtful play after his concussion last week.  My prediction is a Redskins win, but it's close. 

St. Louis @ Tampa Bay

No real Fantasy Value here except for the quarterbacks.  Look for a Tampa win. 

San Francisco @ Carolina

San Fran is the most up and down team that I have ever seen.  One week they play lights out against the Saints and another they are losing to the Seahawks.  I don't think any of them are reliable except Davis and Crabtree.  The Panthers are horrible this year and not even a talent the likes of DeAngelo Williams can keep them afloat.  Look for a Niners win but not a lot of fantasy value. 

Buffalo @ Baltimore

Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick is probably the only safe Buffalo player.  To steal a quote for Matthew Berry of ESPN..."Start Your Studs!!!"  Look for Ray Rice, Flacco, and the WR from the Ravens to have a good game against one of the worst defenses in the league. 

Philadelphia @ Tennessee

Kolb is starting again for Philly due to Vick's injury and Kolb's failure to...well fail.  I wouldn't start either Titans Quarterback this week because we aren't sure who will be starting after Vince Young's injury last week against the Jaguars.  Kenny Britt is becoming a Fantasy Stud and I look for him to be the key to an upset victory over the Eagles. 

Jacksonville @ Kansas City

Jacksonville versus the QB this season has the second most points per week in the league, however they are playing Matt Cassel.  Look for the difference to be in Special Teams with Kansas City picking up the win. 

Pittsburgh @ Miami

Big Ben is back and apparently didn't even have any rust to shake off in his return last week.  Miami has one of the best young secondary units in the league.  This one will be a hard fought battle with Miami pulling out the upset. 

Cleveland @ New Orleans

The Browns got knocked around but Colt McCoy still had a pretty impressive debut for a rookie.  New Orleans isn't exactly playing at their Super Bowl winning level of last year.  This is my big upset pick of the week because I look for McCoy to take advantage of a depleted secondary and pull off the win in the Superdome. 

Arizona @ Seattle

Pete Carroll has breathed new life into the Seahawks this season as Matt Hasselbeck apparently remembers how to play football and they have acquired Marshawn Lynch from the Bills.  Arizona has played so horribly they have been through 2 quarterbacks on their way to Max Hall who fortunately has learned in his brief time with the team how to throw to Larry Fitzgerald.  I expect kind of a shootout here with the Seahawks pulling out the win. 

New England @ San Diego

The Chargers have the #1 offense and defense in football and are 2-4 this season.  New England has a spotty secondary but outside of that it's Tom "Freakin" Brady and they will be fine.  I do look for the Chargers to pick up the win this week because Phillip Rivers is a Monster. 

Oakland @ Denver

Looking for a Raiders upset this week....That's really all I have on this game.

Minnesota @ Green Bay

Aaron Rodgers lost a target last week in Jermichael Finley who is out for the season with injury.  Their running game is awful since the Ryan Grant injury.  Minnesota is looking revived after their acquisition of Randy Moss from the Patriots and a win over Dallas last week.  I look for Favre to once again gain revenge. 

New York Giants @ Dallas

The Giants have been surprisingly good and Dallas is surprisingly bad, and I mean BAD.  Based on this I look for a Giants win and earlier than normal the Cowboys season is Done.
