I played it safe last week going with the Steelers and it payed off.
There were two big upsets last week and finally some people were eliminated from your suicide pool. The Eagles were obviously the big upset victim and a few people probably took the Jets as well.
This week there are a few teams that I’m liking. Now onto the pick for this week:
Teams already used:
Week 1: Seattle Seahawks: Win
Week 2: Green Bay Packers: Loss
Week 3: Baltimore Ravens: Win
Week 4: New York Giants Win
Week 5: Dallas Cowboys Win
Week 6: Pittsburgh Steelers Win
The pick for Week 7 is the Carolina Panthers
The Panthers come into this game on a two game winning streak after starting the season 0-3. The Panthers finally got back to what they do last week, running the ball, and payed off big against the Bucs.
The Bills did win last week against the Jets but it’s hard to say that they actually won the game. The Jets handed the game to the Bills on a silver platter and they still needed a last second field goal in overtime in win. The Bills will also be starting Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback, due to Trent Edwards injury. Fitzpatrick completed just 40% of his passes last week after he came in for Edwards and in his 12 starts last year with Cincinnati he amassed a 70.0 qb rating.
Last week the Panthers ran for 267 yards against the Bucs and had DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart rush for over 100 yards. This Bills on the other hand, gave up 310 yards, yes 310, to the Jets last week. I expect the Panthers to keep the formula they used last week and get a nice victory over the Bills as they climb back to .500.
Final Score: Panthers 23 Bills 10
In case you have used the Steelers here are some other teams I like this week:
Patriots over the Bucs- After the Pats beat the Titans 59-0 last week, how much are they gonna beat the Bucs by?
Colts over the Rams- This one should be over by halftime.
Jets over the Raiders- A risky pick, but his looks like a rebound game for the Jets.
