2011 NFL Week 7 Predictions
This week is a tough one because most teams have .500 records and the below .500 are playing the above .500 and its tough to choose games this weeks. At any rate here we go with my four matchup’s of the week.
Atlanta Falcons (3-3) at 
Detroit Lions (5-1)
The Falcons were a heavy favorite going into this year but have lacked in a lot of categories. The Lions will be angry to the close game they lost this past week. I think the Lions are out to prove that first loss was a fluke and with Ronnie Brown now at the Running Back position I believe the Lions will be so much better on offense then what they have been already this year. I am going with the Lions this week because they still have a lot of momentum behind them.
Chicago Bears (3-3) at 
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-2)
The Bears are simply put the Bears. One week they will be great and one week they will be bad. The Bucs on the other hand have done a pretty good job except for two horrible losses this year. I think the Bucs are riding high after beating the Saints this week and will continue to ride that momentum this week and beat the Bears.
Houston Texans (3-3) at 
Tennessee Titans (3-2)
These two teams are at the top of their division and both look to try and get ahead this week. I honestly feel that Houston is the better team and will prove that this week. Houston has played the tougher teams and has more depth on their team. Houston goes to 4-3 this week and takes the division lead.
San Diego Chargers (4-1) at 
New York Jets (3-3)
The Chargers look great this year and the Jets aren’t living up to the hype but the only reason I think that the Jets will win this is because L.T. is playing against the Chargers for the first time since he left two years ago. I look for L.T. to have a big game and lead the Jets back above .500 this week. The Jets have the capabilities to be in the Super Bowl, it’s a matter of getting motivated and getting the job done and this week is their week to start building towards that.
