NFL Picks Week 7: 10 Shockers You'll Never See Coming

Todd KaufmannOct 18, 2010

Upsets? Did someone say upsets?

This is where we NFL pickers get to have a little fun. We pick the upsets, you tell us we're right or wrong, we debate it, then we'll agree that I'm right and we'll move on. Sound good?

Ok, ok, maybe we'll get a few right and a few wrong. Doesn't mean we can't have fun with it while we're at it. At least that we can agree on.

So, as we're on our way to NFL's Week 7, it's time to make the picks of the week including 10 upsets of the week.

No. 14: Pittsburgh Steelers at Miami Dolphins

I'm not sure I have to predict this game but I will anyway.

Steelers 31, Miami 17

No. 13: Buffalo Bills at Baltimore Ravens

Winless Buffalo playing on the road against the Baltimore Ravens. Yeah, this can't be good.

Ravens 27, Bills 13

No. 12: Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos

The Oakland Raiders beat the Chargers then lost to the 49ers. Not sure which one they won and which one they lost.

Broncos 28, Raiders 11

No. 11: Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks picked up a big win over Chicago last week and will return home to take on the Arizona Cardinals. I like Seattle's odds in this one.

Seahawks 19, Cardinals 17

No. 10: Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers

Brett Favre returns to his old stomping grounds to face his former team, the Green Bay Packers. Too bad the Pack can't beat their old mate.

Vikings 23, Packers 21

No. 9: Jacksonville Jaguars at Kansas City Chiefs

6 of 14
ORCHARD PARK, NY - OCTOBER 10: David Garrard #9 of the Jacksonville Jaguars hands off to Maurice Jones-Drew #32 against the Buffalo Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium on October 10, 2010 in Orchard Park, New York. Jacksonville won 36-26. (Photo by Rick Stewart

After winning three straight, the Chiefs have lost their last two and will make it a third straight loss against the Jaguars.

Jaguars 27, Chiefs 17

No. 8: Washington Redskins at Chicago Bears

The Washington Redskins came close to beating Peyton Manning and the Colts but not close enough. Against Chicago, they'll get the win.

Redskins 18, Bears 14

No. 7: Cleveland Browns at New Orleans Saints

Colt McCoy didn't have a horrible debut in his first start as an NFL quarterback, but it could have been better.

He's learned, he'll be improved and just to show it, he'll knock off the Saints on the road.

Browns 24, Saints 20

No. 6: St. Louis Rams at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

9 of 14
ST. LOUIS - OCTOBER 17: Sam Bradford #8 of the St. Louis Rams passes against the San Diego Chargers at the Edward Jones Dome on October 17, 2010 in St. Louis, Missouri.  The Rams beat the Chargers 20-17.  (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)

The St. Louis Rams picked up a big win over the San Diego Chargers, though they can't seem to buy a win on the road.

Sam Bradford looks good and he'll continue to look good in this one.

Rams 27, Buccaneers 21

No. 5: Cincinnati Bengals at Atlanta Falcons

The Bengals have two of the most talented receivers in the game, at least in their own minds, and one of the better quarterbacks in the league. At least he looked that way a few years ago.

This time, Carson Palmer will have things on lock.

Bengals 27, Falcons 23

No. 4: Philadelphia Eagles at Tennessee Titans

11 of 14
ARLINGTON, TX - OCTOBER 10:  Quarterback Vince Young #10 of the Tennessee Titans leads the offense onto the field after a turnover in the game against the Dallas Cowboys at Cowboys Stadium on October 10, 2010 in Arlington, Texas.   The Titans won 34-27.

The Tennessee Titans took down the Dallas Cowboys on the road, they take down Jacksonville on the road, and they'll come home and beat the Eagles.

How about that for a trifecta?

Titans 28, Eagles 21

No. 3: Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants

12 of 14
MINNEAPOLIS - OCTOBER 17:  Wide receiver Dez Bryant #88 of the Dallas Cowboys catches a pass for a touchdown as Lito Sheppard #29 of the Minnesota Vikings misses the tackle during the fourth quarter at Mall of America Field on October 17, 2010 in Minneapo

The Dallas Cowboys need something to get their spirits back after losing four of their first five games. Maybe a win over their hated rivals will do the trick?

Cowboys 31, Giants 21

No. 2: San Francisco 49ers at Carolina Panthers

Carolina still hasn't gotten a win yet and they've decided to go back to Matt Moore as their quarterback instead of rookie Jimmy Clausen.

Things will get better before they get worse.

Panthers 23, 49ers 20

No. 1: New England Patriots at San Diego Chargers

14 of 14
ST. LOUIS - OCTOBER 17: Philip Rivers #17 of the San Diego Chargers passes against the St. Louis Rams at the Edward Jones Dome on October 17, 2010 in St. Louis, Missouri.  The Rams beat the Chargers 20-17.  (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)

The San Diego Chargers are beaten on the road and unbeaten at home. Guess what? They're at home.

Chargers 27, Patriots 26
