NFL Week 7: QB shuffle party

Here's who I like today...

Skins over Carolina - tough to pick against Cam the man at home but behind a tough defense and a QB that will throw more TDs than INTs, Beck leads Washinton to a narrow victory.

Browns bounce Hawks - Even without Peyton Hillis the Browns are no match for Seattle in the Dog pound. McCoy throws a score and runs for another, Browns by 10.

Falcons surprise Detroit - Still stinging from their first loss of the year, the Lions storm out of the gate but 'Matty Ice' leads Atlanta on a late drive late in the game to seal the road win for the Falcons by 3. And you thought Schwartz was ripped last week.

Tebowmania hits NFL, Miami right in the mouth - Tim Tebow finally has the reigns of the Denver offense and it comes on the same day the city of Miami is recognizing the Gators and Timmy. One of the most anticipated days in recent football history proves to be a memorable one for the Broncos and Tebow. Miami is win-less and don't expect that to change as the home team falls to a dismal 0-6. The enigmatic QB runs for over 100 yds and a couple scores. Denver wins by 7 sending the sports world into Tebow obsession.

Chargers roll over Jets - San Diego coming off a bye week, NY fresh off an ugly win on MNF over the Phins in a huge momentum game for each team. Sanchez and the Jets offense too inconsistent, Rivers & co. have enough weapons to score on Rex's D. Bolts come out on top by 10.

London special - Bears slip by Bucs - Chicago and Tampa are very similar, never know which team will show up. Defensive game, highlighted by a Devin Hester top-ten touchdown run. Da Bears win by 4.

Texans fall to Titans - Tennessee at home, Texans reeling after injury bug bites hard. Titans are a team to keep an eye on as they top Houston by 12.

Cowboys dominate Rams - Dallas still steaming mad over Brady's last second game-winning drive last Sunday, score at will over a depleted St. Louis team that can't wait for 2012 to get here. On the cusp of a World Series championship, I think the fans of St. Louis will be just fine. Romo n the Boys win by 17.

Big Ben leads Pitt to win over Cards - Even though the game is in Arizona and Pittsburgh is beat up, the O-line for the home team is putrid, leading to sacks and shots on new QB Kevin Kolb. Steelers hold off a late charge by the home team, take the win by 7.

Oakland clobbers KC, Carson shines in debut - Easy to look good when you have Darren McFadden in your backfield. The Raiders swept their division last year and could do the same this season. Freshly acquired Carson Palmer only throws 25 passes, one touchdown, one pick but the Chiefs offense suffers four turnovers. The Black Hole devours Matt Cassel, Raiders win by 14.

Packers survive Vikes, Ponder's red-hot start - When will Green Bay lose? Minnesota gets the charge they wanted from rookie QB Christian Ponder but defense can't stop Rodgers n his speedy wideouts. Packers jump out to double digit lead but Vikings storm back in 2nd half. After making a couple rookie mistakes, Ponder leads Minnesota to two TD drives in the 4th, fall to rival Pack by 7.

Colts smashed by Saints in the Bayou - You'd think it was Mardi Gras by the way the fans in the Louisiana Superdome are celebrating in the Sunday night game. Brees throws for over 400 again and the Saints roll by 18. Will the go Colts go 0-16? Only time will tell.

MNF game: Baltimore at Jacksonville - Ray Lewis will have his D fired up for rookie QB Blaine Gabbert. This season is make or break for Jags head coach Jack Del Rio and this game will not help his cause. Baltimore's defense is forcing turnovers at a ridiculous level and you know they're licking their chops heading into Jax. Ravens win by 10.
