NFL Week 7 Favre Goes Back to Green Bay

Week 7 of the NFL is here, key game features the Vikings going into Green Bay.

Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers- The Packers are hurting, the Vikings are disappointing. Coming off a needed win against Dallas last week, the Vikings need to keep winning to become playoff bound. Aaron Rodgers could have a tough day facing the Vikings 7th ranked defense, and tough defensive line, the Packers will need to find a running game to help their QB. Favre needs to keep his picks down for the Vikings to win.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Kansas City Chiefs- Coach Del Rio is probably done after this season. Todd Bouman is the QB today for Jacksonville, and the Chiefs need and should win this game after back to back losses.

Buffalo Bills at Baltimore Ravens- My heart goes out to the Buffalo Bills who have to travel to Baltimore and face a Ravens team that's coming off a loss in a game they think they should've won against the Patriots. If the Bills all come out healthy, that's a win for a team, that will probably pick 1st in the 2011 draft.

Cleveland Browns at New Orleans Saints- Another tough match up for rookie Colt McCoy, who played well last week against a tough Steelers defense. The Saints win this one, but it'll be interesting to see if McCoy continues to improve and solidify his claim as the Browns starter.

San Francisco 49ers at Carolina Panthers- Another must win for Alex Smith, and Mike Singletary. Panthers go back to Matt Moore this week. 49ers must win on the road for any hope of saving their season.

St. Louis Rams at Tampa Bay Buccanneers- Game features two good young QB's. The Rams are the surprise of the year so far, and Tampa Bay has also played well. This should be a close game, coming down to turn overs.

Washington Redskins at Chicago Bears- Two teams with horrible offensive lines meet. Though, the Bears o-line is as bad as I've ever seen. Martz has to create a game plan that keeps his QB upright, screens, more use of the running game. Cutler won't survive the season at this rate. Redskins offense is without Portis again, and Cooley is questionable.

Cincinnati Bengals at Atlanta Falcons- I'm not sure what's happened to Carson Palmer, but he's not playing like a good QB right now. This will be a tough match-up for the Bengals and if Palmer continues to be ineffective and turn the ball over, the Bengals lose again.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Miami Dolphins- Good test for the Dolphins offense going against the Steelers. Big Ben in his 2nd game back, should have the offense in good shape. Steelers can make a statement to the AFC with a win in Miami.

Philadelphia Eagles at Tennessee Titans- Kolb led Eagles versus the Collins run Titans. Eagles defense will have to control the Titans running game, and take care of the ball. With Desean Jackson hurting, the Eagles offense has to control the clock and keep Titans offense off the field, but a good Titans defense will make that difficult and the home team wins a close one.

Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks - A NFC West battle, that could help determine the winner of this week division. The Cardinals start rookie Hall again, and the Seahawks new running back, Lynch, has had another week to get familiar with his new team. If the Hawks defense can keep pressure on the young QB and force him into mistakes, they win.

Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos-  After a disappointing loss, the Broncos will make the Raiders pay.  Jason Campbell will start for the Raiders, who'll be improving the New England Patriots 1st round draft pick.

New England Patriots at San Diego Chargers- This is a playoff game for the Chargers, they need a victory at 2-4.  If a hurting Gates is unable to go, it'll be a big blow for the 5th ranked offense. Hopefully for the Chargers, the Patriots have jet lag and come out flat. Will be a tough game for Chargers who's injuries have left them with Crayton, and Goodman as their starting receivers.


Monday night
New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys
Big game for the Cowboys who at 1-4 have a long road to the playoffs.  The Giants defense has played well as of late, and they'll need to get after Tony Romo, to help the offense. Eli Manning must eliminate his turnovers to help the offense and sustain drives to help defense.
