NFL Week 7 Picks: Indianapolis Colts and the Teams That Shouldn't Even Show Up

It's no secret that the Indianapolis Colts have had a horrible season ever since hearing the news that they've most likely lost Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning for the season.

At 0-6, the Colts check in at the bottom of the AFC South—a division they used to dominate on a yearly basis—and the bottom of the NFL as a whole.

It's impossible to blame them for the loss of Manning, but I don't even think Manning himself could have imagined that the team would be so bad without him.

Simply put, they look lost out there.

If a player could get an MVP for the realization of how important he was to his team, Manning would definitely be the winner this year and maybe a few years into the future.

The point is, the Colts are very bad without Manning and they have a chance to run the table the opposite way.

If the Detroit Lions could do it a few years ago, this team is more than capable of doing so. Honestly, they might as well not even show up to their Week 7 bout with New Orleans.

Here are the Colts and other teams that should just stay home.

Indianapolis Colts

Like I said, the Colts might as well just stay home. A year ago, a matchup between the Colts and Saints would have been epic. This year, it looks like it's going to be a blowout. There's not much more to say about it.

Kansas City Chiefs

Oakland has to be one of the toughest places to play at in the NFL. However, now you have to factor in the emotion that is still stemming from the loss of legendary owner Al Davis. Add the arrival of new quarterback Carson Palmer to the mix, and Raider Nation is going to be a mad house. I expect the Raiders to roll right over the visiting Chiefs.

Minnesota Vikings

Christian Ponder is about to experience his first official NFL start, which is going to be an awesome moment for him. The problem is that he's going to be playing against the defending Super Bowl champions and Aaron Rodgers.

I dare say Rodgers has the upper hand in this matchup.
