Well, it was a rough week for my picks as I went 1-3-1...? Not sure how I'm going to score the tie between Cincinnati and Carolina yet, but nonetheless, a sub-par performance and I will try to get back on track this week!
Panthers @ Packers
Sunday, 10/19
1:00 PM
Pick: Packers
Green Bay is a solid 4-2, although it took a last-minute drive to beat the Dolphins, any win on the road in the NFL is a good win. The Panthers played well in Cincinnati, as they got out of Paul Brown Stadium without a loss. But, they will face a better quarterback with more weapons then the Bengals had last week. Aaron Rodgers will use his weapons against a Carolina defense that has proven to have holes in it. There will be a plethora of Lambeau leaps this week as the Packers will use their strong passing attack to edge the Panthers, 38-35.

Saints @ Lions

Pick: Saints
The Saints started the season slowly, but after a relaxing bye week, they are once again ready to march! Although New Orleans is a much better team at home, I think Drew Brees will look at this game as if it were a playoff match and lead the Saints to victory in Detroit. I'm not sure how, but I see the road Saints pulling this one out, 30-28.

Bengals @ Colts
Sunday, 10/19
1:00 PM
Pick: Colts
Every time Andy Dalton plays the Colts, he owns them. Whether it's regular season, or the annual pre-season game they play every year, the Bengals quarterback knows his way around the Colts defense. But, Cincy will once again be without their two top receivers, and the defense looked pitiful during their past two performances. I hope I'm wrong, but I think Andrew Luck is going to be too much for my Bengals to handle, as the Colts will win, 38-31.

Giants @ Cowboys
Sunday, 10/19

Pick: Cowboys
Last week, I mistakenly took the Giants on the road, against a division rival. I will not make that mistake twice after watching them get shut out on Sunday night. The Cowboys are winners of five straight and were victorious in Seattle, which is arguably the hardest place to play in the NFL. The Cowboys have looked unstoppable as of late and I expect them to continue rolling. Cowboys, 24-13.

49ers @ Broncos
Sunday, 10/19

Pick: Broncos
Two Super Bowl contenders will square off Sunday night, and it should be a good one as both teams went deep into the playoffs last year. Peyton Manning continues to carve up defenses during his 17th season, and he only needs three touchdown passes to break Brett Favre's record. Although it will be detrimental to my fantasy team, I think Manning will continue his success and break Favre's record, guiding the Broncos to a 35-27 victory.

There it is folks! The five best games of week 7, and their exact outcomes! Hopefully I will once again reign victorious after failing miserably last week. WHODEY!
