Our Week 7 Sunday and Monday Picks:

*Bold Teams Favorites

1. New England -3.5 at NY Jets

Eric’s Pick: New England

— It’s going to be a heck of a game, but with Gronk back and the New England defense playing well, the Jets won’t have enough.

Tim’s Pick: New England

— The return of Rob Gronkowski will finally allow Tom Brady to have a trust worthy target. Although injuries to the defensive unit of the Patriots is an issue the rest of the season, it won’t be this week against the lack luster Jets offense.

2. San Diego -7.5 at Jacksonville

Eric’s Pick: San Diego

— San Diego can put up points, and against Jacksonville, I project A LOT of points.

Tim’s Pick: San Diego

— The Jaguars left it all on the field last week in order to beat the largest spread in NFL history, they don’t have anything left in the tank to even compete this week.

3. At Kansas City -6.5 Houston

Eric’s Pick: Kansas City

— Houston is just a mess right now and Kansas City’s defense and offense are clicking so well.

Tim’s Pick: Kansas City

— Third string QB Keenum and a struggling Texans offense will be eaten alive by an incredible Chiefs pass rush.

4. At Detroit -2.5 Cincinnati

Eric’s Pick: Detroit

— Calvin Johnson healthy, and Detroit just has too much offense for the Bengals.

Tim’s Pick: Detroit

— Neither team has been very impressive in my eyes this season; I’ll take the home team in a matchup like this.

5. At Miami -7.5 Buffalo

Eric’s Pick: Buffalo

— I think Miami wins by a field goal. I don’t like the spread.

Tim’s Pick: Buffalo

— The defense of Buffalo is much better than people realize. The Miami run game will continue to be nonexistent and the Bills will end up covering the spread.

6. At Washington PK Chicago

Eric’s Pick: Chicago

— I think Chicago will torch the Washington defense.

Tim’s Pick: Chicago

— Granted the Bears have been on a bit of a skid lately the combination of Forte and Marshall with allow them to win this game.

7. At Philadelphia -3 Dallas

Eric’s Pick: Dallas

— Losing Ware hurts, but I think Dallas will pull this one out.

Tim’s Pick: Dallas

— Romo seems to thrive against the Eagles and is due for a bounce back game after an unimpressive performance of 170 yards with an interception and touchdown. It is the NFC Least so who the hell knows what will happen.

8. At Carolina -7 St. Louis

Eric’s Pick: Carolina

— I think Cam Newton and company will beat the Rams by at least 2 touchdowns.

Tim’s Pick: Carolina

— If Cam Newton does not turn the ball over and keeps his defense off the field more than they need to be, the Panthers front seven will dominate this game. Panthers win big.

9. At Atlanta -6.5 Tampa Bay

Eric’s Pick: Atlanta

— I just feel with Atlanta at home, even with injuries and poor play, they can win by a TD against the Bucs.

Tim’s Pick: Tampa Bay

— The injuries to both sides of the ball that the Falcons have sustained will be the reason why Tampa Bay covers.

10. San Francisco -3.5 At Tennessee

Eric’s Pick: Tennessee

— Through in a sleeper here. I feel the Titans can get an upset, especially with Locker back.

Tim’s Pick: Tennessee

— This one is more of a gut feeling as opposed to using my brain. The return of Locker means turnover free football and an emotional spark that will help the Titans.

11. At Green Bay -9.5 Cleveland

Eric’s Pick: Cleveland

— I think the spread is a tad high with the less-than amazing GB offense and strong play from the Browns.

Tim’s Pick: Cleveland

— The Browns have a sneaky good defense and the accumulation of Packer injuries leads to a low scoring game where the Browns will cover. The Browns will look to take advantage of all the LB injuries and go pass heavy.

12. At Pittsburgh -2.5 Baltimore

Eric’s Pick: Baltimore

— I think Rice will have a huge game.

Tim’s Pick: Pittsburgh

— The Ravens are hands down the better team, but the Steelers will be playing hard for this division rivalry. Ravens will find a way to lose this game.

13. Denver -6.5 At Indianapolis

Eric’s Pick: Denver

— I just can’t pick against Denver this year.

Tim’s Pick: Denver

— Jim Irsay added more fuel to the fire for Manning’s homecoming. This one won’t be close.

Monday Night:

14. At NY Giants -3.5 Minnesota

Eric’s Pick: NY Giants

— It’s time for a win for the Giants.

Tim’s Pick: NY Giants

— Porous run defense vs. porous run defense and mistake prone QB vs. mistake prone QB, will mean a very close game. This will be the game that Manning finally utilizes his weapons (Cruz, Nicks, Randle) and takes advantage of a terrible secondary…I hope.
