Week Eight will be coming up this week with a lot of good match-ups this Sunday.
A re-match of the student vs. teacher matchup will be the featured contest of this week.
The Colts, Broncos and Saints all remain undefeated after Week Seven. The Vikings finally took their first loss of the season after a tough game with the Steelers.
The Titans, Rams and Buccaneers are all still win-less at 0-6 and 0-7 and are desperate for wins.
Tampa Bay is on a bye week, so they will have to wait for that day to come, but the Titans are making a change at quarterback, benching Kerry Collins and starting Vince Young.
As for St. Louis, they're bad, there is no other way around it.
Last week, I was 11-2 in Week Seven's games, losing the Giants game to the Cardinals and losing the Panthers game to the Bills. Overall for the 2009 Season, I am 75-28 and having a good season so far.
Lets take a look at the schedule for Week Eight of the NFL.
New York Giants @ Philadelphia Eagles
The Giants are on a two-game losing streak and looking for a win to stay on top of the NFC East division.
They are a little banged up this week, but Ahmad Bradshaw is expected to play with the foot injury, as is Mario Manningham, who has a shoulder injury.
The Eagles are also coming in with some key injuries. During the Monday Night Football game, Brian Westbrook took a shot to the head from a knee and suffered a concussion. His status for the game is listed as questionable. Kevin Curtis has been held out of Eagles practice and is out for the game.
Some say the Giants are riped for the picking going into Philadelphia for this game. But they actually have won their last couple meetings in Lincoln Financial Field and because the Giants will be a desperate team looking to avoid a three game losing streak, I look for Big Blue to get the win here in a very physical game.
Final Score: Giants 35, Eagles 28
Miami Dolphins @ New York Jets
What's the best medicine for losing a home overtime game? Beating up on the Raiders 38-0 on the road. That's exactly what the Jets needed to get some confidence back after losing three straight.
Unfortunately for the Jets, they lost running back Leon Washington for the season with a foot injury that was hard to watch on TV. The injury means Thomas Jones' bulk load increases and Shonn Greene's playing time increases.
The last time these two met was a couple weeks ago on Monday Night Football, and the Wildcat Offense featuring Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown ran all over the Jets defense, while Chad Henne had a breakout game.
The Jets should be looking more for the Wildcat, but can they stop Brown and Williams? Rex Ryan prepares his defenses a lot, so expect the Jets to rebound.
The last time Miami came into the Meadowlands, they ended the Jets 2008 season. Don't expect that same type of Cinderella magic to happen again.
Final Score: Jets 27, Dolphins 21
San Francisco 49ers @ Indianapolis Colts
The 49ers have lost two games in a row and are reeling after taking an early lead in the NFC West.
They are now starting Alex Smith over Shaun Hill because Smith has a stronger arm to get the ball downfield to newly signed rookie receiver Michael Crabtree, who looked good in his first game.
However, the 49ers are going into the house of the best team in the NFL and are up against the best quarterback in the NFL in Peyton Manning.
Manning and company are 6-0, they are scoring tons of touchdowns (179 points scored) while the Colts defense has been very good so far (77 points allowed).
Until someone can beat the Colts, it's hard to pick against them. I don't see the 49ers having a chance in stopping Manning and that offense.
Final Score: Colts 38, 49ers 21
Seattle Seahawks @ Dallas Cowboys
For a while, it looked like the Seahawks were getting back on track with Matt Hasselbeck back at quarterback. At 2-4, Seattle isn't exactly exploding in the NFC scene like they used to.
Their running game at times has been shut down with Julius Jones and Edgerrin James, and the passing game has had a tough time getting going, which is why they are in 3rd place in the NFC West.
After two straight wins, the Cowboys look rejuvenated. Tony Romo
