Here are my week 7 picks. It is getting harder to come up with enough different story lines each week. I’m just going to need to watch the NFL network a lot more than I currently am. I really shouldn’t have wasted all that time watching the presidential debate this week. Did anyone else notice Jeff Triplett calling McCain for a false start?

Last Week: 43.65 – 1
Season Total: My debt – My IQ

Byes: Arizona, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Philadelphia: The NFL is currently trying to use themes for its bye weeks this season. This week is Bye Bye Birdies week. Which reminds me, I need to put some more corn into my Jaguar feeders.

San Diego Chargers at Buffalo Bills
Chargers 24 Bills 21: In a throwback Sunday

both teams wear their old uniforms. The Bills go back to their 2006 uniforms and the Chargers dig into their bag of old uniforms and wear their uniforms from week 1 of 2008.

New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers
Saints 30 Panthers 21: Drew Brees continues to put up good numbers throwing to 27 different receivers.

Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears
Vikings 13 Bears 12: The Vikings win on a late field goal, set up by a late pass interference call made against Detroit cornerback, Leigh Bodden. Many observers complain that it was a bad call, especially since Bodden was actually in Houston at the time.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals
Steelers 24 Bengals 6: The Bengals do have the honor of being featured in 3 different current major network prime time shows. Just this season “Lost” and “The Biggest Loser” were joined by the new sitcom “Worst Week Ever”……of course the 4th show based on the Bengals will premier this summer when ABC debuts “Extreme Make-over the Roster Edition”.

Tennessee Titans at Kansas City Chiefs
Titans 23 Chiefs 10: Early in the 4th quarter Tony Gonzales is caught trying to sneak over to the Titan side line.

Baltimore Ravens at Miami Dolphins
Dolphins 31 Ravens 10: The Dolphins score on a half-back option pass, a double reverse fumblerooskie play, a statue of liberty and the annexation of Puerto Rico.

San Francisco 49ers at N.Y. Giants
Giants 77 49ers 3: The Giants, a little upset over their performance last Monday night, take their anger out on the 49ers. The 49ers, a little upset over their performance last Sunday, take their anger out on a well garnished tofu salad.

Dallas Cowboys at St. Louis Rams
Cowboys 35 Rams 21: Jerry Jones continues to be in a giving mood, offering the Rams a 5th and 7th round draft pick to have a Coke and a hot dog delivered to his booth. Unfortunately, he never gets his food as Adam Jones beats up the delivery boy.

Detroit Lions at Houston Texans
Texans 4 Lions 3: Lion QB Dan Orlovsky accidentally runs out of the back of the endzone twice in this game. That really wouldn’t be too bad, except on the 2nd on the Lions actually have the ball at the Texan 20 yard line when he does so.

Indianapolis Colts at Green Bay Packers
Colts 48 Packers 23: Peyton Manning has a huge game running the Colt no-huddle offense. In fact, during one sequence where he is using his hand signals to call a play, he not only calls a 70 yard TD pass but also lands a small Cessna in the parking lot and invents a new dance sensation that becomes exceedingly popular in Western Europe.

N.Y. Jets at Oakland Raiders
Jets 30 Raiders 14: Jet coach Brett Mangini forces his wife and children to all change their names to Brett after the game.

Cleveland Browns at Washington Redskins
Redskins 24 Browns 13: Before the game it is revealed that the two teams traded places last weekend in an attempt to get Dan Snyder and his ex-wife back together.

Seattle Seahawks at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Buccaneers 32 Seahawks 10: The injury riddled Seahawks are no match for the Buccaneers. The Seahawks defense features 3 players wearing casts. The stage is set early when Buccaneer running back is almost brought down for a loss only to have the Seahawk defender trip over the tie on his hospital gown allowing Graham to score.

Denver Broncos at New England Patriots
Broncos 45 Patriots 45: The game is the first tie in the NFL in years. The league later admits they just couldn’t decide which team they wanted to win.

Hah!!! I made it another week. And my mom said I’d never hold a job.
