THE EIGHTH HOLE...

WEEK 7....

So week 6 brought alot of upsets to the forefront....Miami over Green Bay....Vikings over Cowboys...and some really great games in the Ravens/Patriots matchup....lets take a look at what week 7 has in store...

STEELERS @ DOLPHINS

STEELERS: 4-1....1ST IN AFC NORTH

KEY STATS: 131 RUSH YDS PER GAME (9TH)...PPG 22.8 (10TH)

296.6 TOTAL YDS ALLOWED (6TH) PA 12 (1ST)

DOLPHINS: 3-2....3RD IN AFC EAST

KEY STATS: 347.8 YDS PER GAME (12TH) 17.8 PPG (24TH)

311.2 YDS ALLOWED (9TH) 22.4 PA (23RD)

GOOD MATCHUP THIS WEEK...I SEE A VERY PHYSICAL GAME....WHOEVER HAS THE LEAD AT THE HALF WILL WIN THIS ONE...BECAUSE BOTH TEAMS ARE EXCELLENT AT KILLING THE CLOCK WHEN THEY ARE UP...LAST YEAR THE DOLPHINS BESTED THE STEELERS...AND WITH BRANDON MARSHALL...IT WILL BE A MUCH TOUGHER GAME...THE DOLPHINS ARE FACING A HEALTHY STEELERS UNIT AND A TEAM THAT HAS REALLY BEEN ON FIRE AND IN THE WAKE OF THE JAMES HARRISON FINE, THIS DEFENSE WILL BE READY TO ATTACK WITH BRUTE FORCE...BOTH TEAMS ARE PRETTY EQUAL AS FAR AS SKILL IN MY OPINION WITH THE DOLPHINS SLIGHTLY LACKING A WELL PUT TOGETHER SECONDARY...LOOK FOR THE PHINS TO ATTACK ROETHLISBERGER WITH A HEAVY RUSH...LOOK FOR THE STEELERS TO POUND IT THEN AIR IT OUT WHEN LEAST EXPECTED....TOUGH PREDICTION, THIS ONE WILL BE A FIGHT TO THE FINISH...IN THE END?

THIS LOOKS LIKE A DAVID VS GOLIATH MATCHUP...THE BILLS JUST ARE NOT SOLID...NO QUARTERBACK...INJURY AND FUMBLE PRONE FRED JACKSON AND ROOKIE CJ SPILLER AT RUNNINGBACK...IT JUST DOESNT LOOK GOOD FOR THE BILLS....BALTIMORE IN THIS ONE...REALLY? NEED I SAY MORE?

OK MIKE MARTZ...MATT FORTE IS AVERAGING 3.9 YDS PER CARRY....WHY ARE YOU NOT GIVING HIM THE BALL...THIS IS WHY YOU LOST LAST WEEK...RUN THE BALL...SET UP THE PASS...CONTROL THE CLOCK...LET YOUR DEFENSE PLAY...AND THOSE ARE YOUR KEYS TO WINNING...IF YOU DO NOT DO THAT...THE REDSKINS WILL HOLD ONTO THE BALL WITH RYAN TORIAN AND A GREAT SHORT PASSING ATTACK...PLAIN AND SIMPLE...I THINK MIKE MARTZ WILL GET THE OFFENSE TOGETHER THOUGH...AND MY RESULT IS...

BEARS 24

REDSKINS 20

VIKINGS @ PACKERS

18.7 PPG ALLOWED (10TH)...112.3 RUSH YDS ALLOWED PER GAME (21ST)

COULD BE THE MATCHUP OF THE WEEK HERE...GREAT RIVALRY AND FAVRE IS GOING UP AGAINST HIS OLD TEAM...WITH A BANGED UP PACKERS SECONDARY (HARRIS AND BIGBY OUT) AND PERCY HARVIN COMING OFF A HOT GAME VS THE COWBOYS...LOOK FOR HIM TO BE AN X-FACTOR ON THE OFFENSIVE END...TWO WORDS: RANDY MOSS...NOW....TWO MORE: ADRIAN PETERSON...THE PACKERS MAY NOT HAVE ENOUGH JUICE ON OFFENSE AGAINST A GREAT VIKNGS PASS RUSH SO IM EXPECTING....

GIANTS @ COWBOYS

GIANTS: 4-2....1ST IN NFC EAST

KEY STATS: 136.3 RUSH YDS PER GAME (5TH)...320.7 YPG (7TH)

KEY STATS: 400 YDS PER GAME (3RD)...95 RUSH YDS PER GAME (23RD)

281.4 YDS PER GAME ALLOWED (3RD)...180.6 PASS YDS ALLOWED PER GAME

(4TH)

STATS MAKE THIS GAME LOOK A LITTLE BIT CLOSER THAN IT IS...BUT WITHOUT A SOLID RUNNING GAME...THE COWBOYS ARE ONE DIMENSIONAL...AND THE GIANTS DEFENSE IS GOOD AT SACKING THE QB, STOPPING THE RUN AND PASS...DEFENSE IS DEFINITELY GOING TO WIN THIS ONE...ALOT OF OFFENSIVE WEAPONS SO I EXPECT THE DEFENSE TO LIMBER UP AND SHOW UP IN THE SECOND HALF...SCORE?

GIANTS 26

COWBOYS 21
