It is already Week 7 of the 2011 NFL football season, but the St. Louis Rams will be looking for their first win of the year when they take-on the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday afternoon at Cowboys Stadium. Game time is set for 4:15 p.m. and it will be broadcast regionally on FOX.
Who would have thought the Raiders would be coming off back-to-back wins and battling it out at this point in the season with San Diego for top spot in the AFC West?
The Green Bay Packers are now the league’s only perfect team and the way they have been playing they might stay that way for a while. Most of their wins have been blowouts with the team that got the closest being the Panthers in week 2, they lost by just 7.
The Atlanta Falcons had to have a victory last week against Carolina and won by 14 despite being outgained for the contest. They are still behind the eight ball in the divisional and conference playoff picture and need to get away from their win one, lose one pattern after six games.
The Chicago Bears won on Sunday night against a horribly troubled Minnesota Vikings team.. At 3-3 they are staying alive in the early NFC playoff picture but they have a lot of work to do if they want to challenge the NFC North leaders Detroit and Green Bay.
After navigating some tricky spreads over the last couple of weeks, I’m pleased to say that there are several spreads I really like this week. Hopefully that means it’s easy sledding in NFL Week 7.
The odds makers gave us a bit of breathing room last week as eight favorites verse just four underdogs covered against the spread. The same trend held true for the home and away teams as just four road teams won ATS. The ‘under’ was the play of the week with 10 of 13 games staying ‘under’ the total line.
Each week during the heart of the NFL season, and once or twice during the NFL Preseason, we’ll gather the troops around the roundtable and hash out the NFL Power rankings. We check out the stats, looks at the records, and, most importantly, we take a close, close look at the heart of each team.
Week 6 in the NFL had very few surprises (for a change). Most of the favorites won, though many of them didn’t cover the spreads. Let’s review a week when it seems order was restored to the football universe.
We’re more or less a third of the way through the 2011 NFL season. It’s been full of surprises, to say the least, and the futures odds have shifted dramatically. Let’s explore the top Super Bowl contenders, risers and fallers.
The New York Jets entered the 2011-12 NFL season with their goal to finally get through to the Super Bowl after consecutive AFC Championship game appearances in head coach Rex Ryan’s first two years with the team.
With the presence of the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers, and the emergence of the Detroit Lions, the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings both find themselves looking up in the suddenly stacked NFC North.
When the New England Patriots fell to the Cleveland Browns in one of the most surprising results of last year’s regular season, it was simply an aberration for a team that went on to win 14 games and clinch the best record in the NFL.
This is a great matchup between the two most pleasant surprises in the league this season. San Francisco had absolutely no letdown last Sunday after coming back to beat Philadelphia the previous week. They destroyed a pretty good Tampa Bay team, winning by their largest margin since 1987 I believe.
After falling flat in losses to Baltimore and Houston early this season, the Pittsburgh Steelers got back on track with a statement win over Tennessee last week. Ben Roethlisberger threw five touchdown passes as the Steelers romped 38-17 over a hyped Titans team.
Many though that the Falcons (2-3) would have an unstoppable offense after they moved up in the draft to take WR Julio Jones, but that has not been the case this season, as they only rank 14th in the league in passing yards per game and they are also having problems running the ball.
