Week Seven NFL Review: Mostly Blowouts But Some Surprises

The Dallas Cowboys took care of business at home against a good Atlanta team, winning to improve to 4-2 and challenging for playoff contention and only being one game out of first in that tough NFC East division. The Cowboys won 37-21.

The Packers had no problem with Cleveland winning 31-3 and getting their record to 4-2 also, with a big game next week at home against Minnesota coming up.

Houston survived three second half touchdowns by Alex Smith and the Forty-Niners to improve their record to 4-3 and remain in wild-card contention. The Texans won 24-21 at home.

Phillip Rivers passed for 268 yards and three touchdowns, going 18 for 30 to crush Kansas City 37-7. The Chargers are now 4-3 and should win next week against the Raiders. Defense is the issue for this team, when playing top rated offenses.

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense saved the day, with two interceptions for touchdowns against Brett Favre and the Vikings. Pittsburgh 27 Minnesota 17.

Indianapolis dominated St. Louis as expected to stay undefeated at 6-0 with a 42-6 victory over the Rams. Next, they are at home against San Francisco and should win that one also.

New England had a jolly old day in merry old England to reach 5-2 and are looking very good in that division. Tampa Bay played Josh Freeman in the last five minutes of the game, and after a bye week, he may get a chance to start. Final score Patriots 35 Tampa Bay 7.

Buffalo shocked Carolina in their own stadium to reach 3-4 and drop the Panthers to 2-4 with no hope in sight, or receivers for that matter, for Jake Delhomme. Buffalo 20 Carolina 9.

The Jets got well against the Raiders 38-0 as I expected. The Jets are at an unspectacular 3-3, and have the Miami Dolphins and that running game to try to answer next week.

In somewhat of a shocker, due to the extremely poor effort of the Bears, who looked terrible, Cincinnati won 45-10 and is now 5-2 going into their bye week.

The Steelers rematch in Pittsburgh should be a great game. The Bears fell to 3-3 and are fast falling behind Green Bay and Minnesota in the Black and Blue division. The NFC North.

The New Orleans Saints survived a bad first half, and stormed back to beat the Dolphins handily, 46-34. That was a great second half by Drew Brees as the Saints improved to 6-0. The Dolphins fall to 2-4. Nice try, Miami.

The Giants can't handle the Cardinals tonight on Sunday Night Football in America and drop to 5-2, while Arizona will be at 3-3 tied with the Forty-Niners for that weak NFC West.

On Monday Night Football Philadelphia will get it together against confusion and a new play caller with the Redskins to get the win.

I am at 68-35 with one more win coming , as I have predicted, for the season so far. Cincinnati, Buffalo, and Dallas I called wrong, but all the others were correct this week.

The Giants lost at home  but Philadelphia will take care of business to keep me at 9-4 this week.

Have a great evening and week, and good luck to all your teams and fantasy players.
