Week 7 Predictions

by

Week 7 is here…already!?!?
Holy crapola that just breezed by.
There are only 2 undefeated teams-with one of them looking like that they might be able to go all season. (Hint: The Patriots)

So who wins in Week 7?
Well our pundit Wade is fresh off a winning week and is ready to make his predictions.

Texans (4-2) vs (-1) Colts (3-2) +47.5
The Colts are coming off a bye week, while the Texans are coming off a strong victory against the Chiefs.
The Colts have one of the best O-Lines in league with a D to match.
Deshaun Watson is going to struggle and be chased, so hopefully he can make a few deep ball connections.
Colts are rested-& should win easily.
Colts Win.

(-2) Vikings (4-2) vs Lions (2-2-1) +44
The Lions were robbed last week in Lambeau, while the Vikings are high on their own supply after a home win.
Stefan Diggs seems to be placated after 2 deep balls, and Kirk Cousins is looking to silence his critics.
But is this the game to do it?
Doubtful.
The Lions will be angry after that tough loss, and motivated by the home dome crowd.
Hockenson should have a big day, as will Kerryon Johnson.
Lions to win.

(-3) LA Rams (3-3) vs Falcons (1-5) +54.5
Will the real Jared Goff please stand up?
He can’t. Because his O-line sucks.
Matt Ryan continues to toss loads of yards, but his D continues to let him down.
Will he be able to rally the troops at home?
Nope.
The Rams are ready to win after too many losses.
The Falcons are about to be humbled again/
Rams win easily.

(2-4) Chargers vs (-2) Titans (2-4) +40.5
Marcus Mariota is on the outs, and Ryan Tannehill is in!
What has happened to the Tennessee Titans?
They just can’t seem to get the gang together.
Funny that the Chargers are going through the exact same thing.
Except they seem to be in freefall. Continuous falling.
Titans will win at home.

(5-1) Saints vs (-3) Bears (3-2) +38
The Bears are fresh off a spanking from the the Raiders and a weak off.
The Saints continue to thrive without QB Drew Brees.
Teddy Bridgewater seems to get them through, but it’s really Sean Payton who seems to be out coaching the opposition.
This will not be his week as the Bears are at home, and looking for win #4.
Bears win.

Week 7 Preview

by

Week 7 Preview podcast is up and live.
This week, Wade is joined by our own Brit Callum Squires, who lived in Texas for a few years and became indoctrinated into the football scene there.

Callum was at both Tottenham NFL games & was thrilled by the games there. They talk those matches, the upcoming Wembley games & the refs.
Listen, love, share.

Callum and Wade break down all the NFL games so that you don’t have to.

They look at all of the NFL games for week 7 including:

Texans (4-2) vs (-1) Colts (3-2) + 47.5
The Colts are fresh off a bye week, while the Texans can rest after beating the hapless Chiefs last week. Will Jacoby Brisett be ready for this week? Callum takes the Texans, while Wade takes the puppy Colts this week.

(-2) Vikings (4-2) vs Lions (2-2-1)
The Lions weer robbed last week, will they recover this week to atone for bad refs? Callum has the Vikings to win this, while Wade thinks that the Lions will eat this to devour the Vikings this week.

Raiders (3-2) vs (-5.5) Packers (5-1) + 47
Can the Raiders use their bye week to surpass the Pack this week? The Packers lost loads of WRs to injuries, so who can catch the ball?
Both Wade & Callum think the Packers should stomp them with a superior running game.

(-9.5) 49ers (5-0) vs Redskins (1-5) 41.5
The Redskins won! So how good are they? Not good enough for this fast front 4 of San Fran, who will punish the Skins this week once again.
Both Wade & Callum don’t see good scores here for the Skins.

TNF-Chiefs vs Broncos

by

Ruh roh ‘Raggy, the Chiefs have lost 2 in a row, will they lose again?
Let’s jump in the Mystery Machine & figure out how this game is going to hurt the Chiefs.

The Chiefs have shown their weaknesses, & the heat they brought last year is now more of a simmer.
His ankle looks to be weak, and his O-line has been replaced to the point they don’t have the full ability to protect him.
Remember when he would juke, junk, and then left side toss a ball for a gain of 8?
That doesn’t happen anymore.
Austerity is here.

The Broncos are at home, which only matters because of the thin air, that is also packed with weed smoke.
(most of the crowd are on edibles)
But, the Broncos can defend at home, and their D looks much improved and focused, with Von Miller packing on the pressure.
Win this game, and the Broncos are in the hunt.
Lose it, and Denver might start looking to sell the parts.

Denver needs to run the ball.
The Chiefs have struggled here, and Phillip Lindsay should tear through the Chiefs D like a Japanese wall.

Denver has the aggression and home stance, and the Chiefs just lost at home 4 days earlier.
Will their new QB rally them to victory?
Probably not.
The Chiefs should take an early lead, but the second half will be all horsey.
Watch the Broncos tighten the D, switch more to the running game, and check down each drive to punts.

Chiefs might win, but the Broncos should cover.

Blowing out Kids

by

‘They’re just kids.’
That’s the rallying cry of any youth sports game that gets out of end.
Too often we hear about belligerent parents who get heavy-handed in sporting events, or even start getting into fist fights in the stands with each other.

But what about a coach who runs up the score in youth football?
Kyle Williams is a coach for an under 7 team in Philadelphia.
His team went up by 30 points, in a league where that’s not considered ‘fair’ and teams get penalised for it.

So coach Williams did what any good coach would do, he benched his starters-and put in his 5 year olds. Yep, those pissy pants 5 year olds.
Sadly one of those 5 year olds can ball, and was able to run the ball back for a TD.
That put the team up 36-0, and coach Williams in the dog house with the league.
He now faces a $500 fine for running up the score.
$500?
He’s going to need to sell their Christmas presents to pay off that debt.
