Horst Report: NFL Week 6 Review: Week 7 Picks

Here are the results for week 5:

BEARS BEAT GIANTS 27-21
Shua's Pick- Bears
The Giants just look so lost, and Eli may have to be benched to wake his ass up.

BENGALS BEAT BILLS 27-24 OT
Shua's Pick- Bengals
The Bills fought, and the Bengals let them hang in the game. The Bengals have got to close out better if they want to win that division.

PACKERS BEAT RAVENS 19-17
Shua's Pick- Packers
Packers suffered more injury loss, with Randall Cobb getting hurt, but the D prevailed long enough before the Ravens could comeback.

LIONS BEAT BROWNS 33-17
Shua's Pick- Lions
The Lions continued to put up points, and the Browns looked like the Browns again.

PANTHERS BEAT VIKINGS 35-10
Shua's Pick- Vikings
Cam Newton had a great game, and the Vikings were playing in an uncomfortable locker room, with Adrian Peterson's son dying. This was just a sad week for that team.

CHIEFS BEAT RAIDERS 24-7
Shua's Pick- Chiefs
The Chiefs defense continued their dominance, and now Andy Reid has K.C. tied for first with the Broncos. If Alex Smith can put up more points, they may just become the 2nd best team in the league.

STEELERS BEAT JETS 19-6
Shua's Pick- Steelers
Steelers pumped some life back into their season, but the air is slowly running out on them.

EAGLES BEAT BUCC'S 31-20
Shua's Pick- Eagles

SEAHAWKS BEAT TITANS 20-13
Shua's Pick- Seahawks
The Titans aren't as bad as they have been in recent years, and held their own against a good Seattle team.

49ERS BEAT CARDINALS 32-20
Shua's Pick- 49ers

BRONCOS BEAT JAGUARS 35-19
Shua's Pick- I didn't pick this game because we all knew what was going to happen. But give Jacksonville some credit, they didn't just lay down as expected. And when you tell professional athletes that they are a 27 point underdog, that is a slap in the face. They did intercept a Peyton pass, and returned it for a touchdown. That should bring Peyton down to earth, and you know that he's more upset about that than the fans. The key player to the game though, I believe goes to two players; Knowshon Moreno, and WR Justin Blackmon. Moreno has become the proven starter, and as long as he can stay healthy, his impact will continue on the field. Whether that's blocking, running the ball, or catching out of the backfield, he is looking like the first round RB that was drafted 5 years ago. But you do have to give props to Justin Blackmon, he left it all on the field with over 200 yards receiving, but unfortunately, he plays for the Jaguars, and the talent is very thin on that roster. He did catch more than just passes that day, he caught a lot of attention as well, and with pretty boy Decker's contract up at the end of the season, the Broncos should make a serious move to get that young man. I'd expect it.

COWBOYS BEAT REDSKINS 31-16
Shua's Pick - Redskins
Cowboys look to be the favorite of that division, and RGIII looks more like RG 1and 1/2 right now.

*RAMS BEAT TEXANS 38-13
Shua's Pick- Rams!
Texans fans did a really low class thing, booing for Matt Schaub, and the Rams just layed it on them with a really young and fast defense.

^PATRIOTS BEAT SAINTS 30-27
Shua's Pick- Saints
The Patriots showed that they are still a team to be reckoned with in the AFC. The Saints have a week off now and should be able to bounce back from that loss.

Shua's Record- 11-3

Week 7 Preview

Seahawks @ Cardinals
Shua's Pick- Seahawks

Cowboys @ Eagles
Shua's Pick- Eagles

Dallas is banged up, and Nick Foles can run the offense pretty well.

Bengals @ Lions
Shua's Pick- Lions

The Lions have looked great and Reggie Bush seems to be fitting that offense well. If they can get an early lead on Cincinnati, they can pull off a victory.

Rams @ Panthers
Shua's Pick- Rams

Texans @ Chiefs
Shua's Pick- Chiefs

The Texans' players are pretty pissed off about the fans booing Schaub's injury, and I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't give a 100% to piss the fans off. NFL players have a camaraderie, a brotherhood so to speak. They all wish that NOBODY gets hurt at all, and when the fans cheer a man going down, that really insults, and appalls them. Now, Texans fans, expect a couple of years of trade requests, and bad Free agency years to come, because the players will not want to play for fans who boo injuries.

Falcons @ Buccaneers
Shua's Pick- Falcons

The Falcons lost Julio Jones for the year, and all those offseason moves they made are coming back to haunt them. A team that was supposed to be contending for the Super Bowl at the beginning of the year, is now struggling to get to .500. You paid Matt Ryan a ton of money, but all those pieces fell apart around him. In what looks to be Tony Gonzalez's final year, he may not come anywhere near the Super Bowl. A shame for a class act, and a walk in Hall Of Famer.

Bears @ Redskins
Shua's Pick- Redskins

Shanahan knows Cutler well, and will take away the pass game, but will RGIII show up?

Bills @ Dolphins
Shua's Pick- Dolphins

Chargers @ Jaguars
Shua's Pick- Jaguars

Patriots @ Jets
Shua's Pick- Jets
The Jets are surprisingly at .500 now, and can surprise a Patriots team that just lost Ammendola, but Gronkowski could return.

49ers @ Titans (UPSET SPECIAL)
Shua's Pick- Titans

This is my "Upset Special". The Titans may be in a dogfight for the AFC South division, with the Texans falling hard, and Indy losing on Monday night. If Fitzpatrick can find a way for Chris Johnson to get some touches, they could hang with the 49ers in a slug fest. If the Titans can get to Kaepernick when he's in the pocket, they can make him nervous, force throws. The Titans may be the surprise team in the AFC this year.

Ravens @ Steelers
Shua's Pick- Steelers
Steelers are desperate, and this game usually comes down to the wire, and I think the Steelers will last longer at home.

Browns @ Packers
Shua's Pick- Packers

Packers are beat up, and Cleveland has been a surprise team so far. But if Rodgers wants to keep his team in a playoff hunt, he's gotta lead them to victory this week. Otherwise a Browns victory here, and the Pack could be looking at an uphill struggle for the rest of the season.

Broncos @ Colts (Game of The Week)
Shua's Pick- Broncos

The media is gonna shove this down our throats so I won't, Peyton returns home with just an overall better team, plus a rested Von Miller returns, and he has something to prove here. I feel the Broncos have more at stake than the Colts at this point. The Chiefs are right on the Broncos' tails, and look to be a legitimate threat in the conference as well as the division. So the Broncos have to keep up the pace they've been playing at. Plus, the rest of the team has to understand what this game means to Peyton. He built his legacy there, and was brushed aside for someone younger. 'This one is for Peyton' game can get out of the way with this game, and one more in New England next month. With Von Miller returning, that should create more pressure and the D should be able to get some turnovers here. Miller needs to come out on fire! He's rested, and pumped and angry. If he isn't foaming at the mouth to get to Andrew Luck, then he still won't have his head on straight, and then the alarm bells should ring.

Vikings @ Giants
Shuas's Pick- Giants
