I didn't like Pitts and Miami... I picked Miami only because they are home. this might be the game of the week.
5 Diffferent picks this week... should be interesting
My bold prediction of the week: the Lions won't lose. But if anyone can manage to do it in a bye week, it's them.
Week 7 games
Cincinnati @ Atlanta
Jacksonville @ Kansas City
Washington @ Chicago
Saint Louis @ Tampa Bay
Philadelphia @ Tennessee
San Francisco @ Carolina
Cleveland @ New Orleans
Pittsburgh @ Miami
Buffalo @ Baltimore
Arizona @ Seattle
New England @ San Diego
Oakland @ Denver
Minnesota @ Green Bay
NY Giants @ Dallas_____________________________________________________________
For anyone who hasn't made their picks yet, here are ESPN's NFL Power Rankings for week 7
I think ESPN has the most credible rankings. Sports llustrated comes in a close second. CBS and FOX promote their respective conferences. NBC lost all credibility with me when Keith Olbermann (a complete douchbag) was used as a commentator. Now they've got Tony Dungy, a totally biased analyst if there ever was one

Darth, I have a completely different take...
The Steelers didn't steal anything. Yes, the call at the goal line went their way, but the officials made the call. From everything I've heard and read so far, the call was in complete compliance with NFL rules. If Miami wants to cry, they need to cry to the NFL Competition Committee. Personally, on some calls I hate the rules and on some calls I love them. This was a call and rule that I loved and yes, am thankful for. This week. If the same call goes against Pittsburgh next week, I hate the rule. Such is the nature of the NFL.
There are controversial calls, and non-calls, in every game. Did you see how, in overtime, the refs allowed the Ravens to hold up the Bills' tight end while they stripped him of the ball? Forward progress had obviously been stopped, yet no whistle. A non-call that probably cost Buffalo the game
I'm sure you remember the "Tuck Rule". Raiders fans hate the rule, just as they still hate the "Immaculate Reception" from back in the '70s. To this day, John Madden insists it was an illegal play
Yesterday, the Dolphins had every opportunity to win the game.
Pittsburgh fumbled the opening kickoff return on their own 22. Miami recovered. In 3 plays, the Dolphins moved the ball 1 yard and settled for a field goal
On Pittsburgh's next possesion, BR7 fumbled on their own 13. Miami recovered. In 3 plays, the Dolphins moved the ball 8 yards and settled for a field goal
On Miami's last possesion, after the kick return, they had the ball at their own 29 with 2:19 on the clock, 1 timeout left plus the 2 minute warning. In 4 plays, the Dolphins moved the ball 4 yards and lost the game
Good teams overcome injuries, field position, penalties and "bad" calls. Consider Pittsburgh's final drive in Super Bowl XLIII. After the return, they had the ball on their own 22. The first play was a holding call, which pushed them back to the 12. 1st and 20 on their 12, 2:24 on the clock, 2 timeouts left plus the 2 minute warning.
The Steelers drove 88 yards on 8 plays in 2:02 for the go-ahead touchdown
Arizona actually had a last-gasp chance to win. With 15 seconds left, they had the ball 1st and 10 on Pittsburgh's 44. What happened? LaMarr Woodley sacked Kurt Warner and caused a fumble, which Pittsburgh recovered. They then ran the clock out to win the game
Do I feel bad for Miami fans? Yep, I do. But the Dolphins are 3-3. They have 10 more games to prove what kind of team they are
Alot of close scores this week......well except for oaklands big upset.
10-4 This week.
I thought I'd be 4-10
