NFL Awesome Picks Spectacular Week 7

Because we here at Brainfart love us some football, we decided that we would not only be doing college football picks each week, but we would also be doing some NFL picks, too. So, here is where I make my NAPS (NFL Awesome Picks Spectacular):

Picks are in red
All lines are provided by Sportsbook.ag

Arizona Cardinals at Minnesota Vikings (-6.5)
Sunday 1:00

- Even though the Vikings got Griffined last week I still think they are a good team and their defense can dominate lesser teams.  Arizona has a terrible terrible offense on all fronts.  With Kolb out I think the Vikings have at least 5 sacks and don't allow any one player to get 75 yards.

Baltimore Ravens (+7) at Houston Texans
Sunday 1:00

- I don't think the Ravens took as much of a hit as everyone thinks when they lost Ray Lewis and DB Ladarius Webb.  Normally I would be distraught over losing a Ladarius but he is not their best corner back and even though Lewis is a great leader, his age has made him an average player.  Houston doesn't have the weapons to capitalize as much as they need to and may win but it will be close.  Baltimore has an offense that is not easily kept quiet.

Dallas Cowboys (-2.5) at Carolina Panthers
Sunday 1:00

- The Cowboys are regrouping off of a bye week and if they can get rid of some stupid mistakes they should be able to handle the Panthers.  Carolina has not been good this year against decent defenses so Dallas should be able to contain Cam and not company (see what I did there).

New Orleans Saints (-2) @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Sunday 1:00

- This seems like a trap but I'm walking right in anyways.  Is Brees dead?  Are the Saints scared of the pirate ship in the endzone?  Last time I checked the Saints, although playing bad this year, I would consider them better than the Bucs.  What's that you say - the Saints are an incredible passing offense?  Oh, good - because Tampa's number one corner back is out because he can't take his eyes off of shiny things.

Last Week's Results: 0-4-0 (ouch)
Season Results: 11-14-1
