- Browns 30, Saints 13 - Both losers - The theme of the year so far seems to be teams that completely dominate the stat sheet finding a way to lose games and lose them big. Of course, when you allow the opposing teams punter to outrush the other 3 running backs to play in the game all in one play, you deserve to lose. Nice one Saints. This is not an impressive 4-3 the Saints have put up, and they get the Steelers next week. Uh oh.
- Chiefs 42, Jaguars 20 - Dre winner, Jason loser - Past the theme of the year, the theme of Week 7 was picks that looked great until the 4th quarter started. The Jags played way over their heads until late in the 3rd quarter before the Chiefs decided to put 21 unanswered points and run away in this one. Dre is convinced that the Chiefs downturn is ready to start any moment now, but they are contending in the vastly superior AFC.
- Titans 37, Eagles 19 - Dre winner, Jason loser - The Eagles held the Titans offense in check for 3+ quarters and even knocked Vince Young out of yet another game. Down 19-10 with 13 minutes to go, the Titans went all Chiefs on the Cheesesteaks and put up 27 unanswered points, including 10 points in the last half minute as a final little "shove that up your ass" to yours truly for picking against them again.
- Falcons 39, Bengals 32 - Dre loser, Jason winner - My Falcons will save me! This pick looked automatic, but in this week of late combacks and ridiculous 2nd half scoring, not even this one went smoothly. Down 3 touchdowns, the Bengals behind Carson Palmer (?!?!?!) managed to squeak ahead at 25-24 midway through the 4th quarter. Atlanta quickly went all Chiefs on Cincy, scoring 2 late TDs to seal it before the Bengals managed a late garbage time TD.
- DeAngelo Hall 17, Bears 14 - Dre winner, Jason loser - Jay Cutler said he would continue to throw at the man who had 4 interceptions against him, tying the all-time mark. Of course he would. Without those 4 picks, the Bears actually had a chance to win the game. The Skins did nothing memorable on offense unless you count McNabb's own pick-6 that the-guy-I-thought-was-Mike Brown took back to the house. There's trouble in Chi-town as the Martz-Cutler experiment continues to fail behind the weakest offensive line that's not in Dallas. Meanwhile, the Skins have now taken over luckiest team in the league duties away from Atlanta.
- Stealers 23, Dolphins 22 - Dre winner, Jason loser - So Bathroom Ben fumbles the game away right into a pile of Dolphins in the end zone, one of whom emerges from the pile with the ball. So of course the refs couldn't tell who recovered the ball, not under ALL THE DOLPHINS LAYING ON TOP OF IT. So yes, while Rapelisberger came a foot from giving me the ATS win, I can't help but feel for yet another team jobbed by the refs.
- Bucs 18, Rams 17 - Dre winner, Jason loser - Here was Dre's second ATS win of the week via teams that won, but couldn't cover THREE FUCKING POINTS! That being said, I must fulfill my duties as President and Sole Member of the Josh Freeman Fan Club by mentioning that my boy Josh managed another late game comeback to propel the Bucs past the Rams and Dre's new buddy Sam Bradford.
- Ravens 37, Bills 34 (OT) - Both winners - The Ravens escaped with one here. The Bills managed to dominate the stat sheet, but they also managed to lose the turover battle, and the veteran Ravens did just enough to win. I hope the Bills aren't watching the last few games of Ryan Fitzpatrick and thinking they have solved their gaping QB hole. Two words for Buffalo: Scott Mitchell. I accused the Ravens of not being able to score 13, but if you had told me they would have put up 37, I would have figured this as a slam dunk cover. Where'd the pass D go in Baltimore?
- Panthers 23, Niners 20 - Dre winner, Jason loser - Surely the 49ers would build off their first win of the season. They told us they were still going to win the division, right? Nothing like heading to winless Carolina to get some reps in and start working on a winning streak, right? Unfortunately, Matt Moore and some guy named David Gettis (125 yards receiving, 2TD's) didn't get the memo. Gettis is bound to now be another kneejerk fantasy pickup. Good luck with that.
- Seahawks 22, Cardinals 10 - Both losers - The Seahawks have been automatic at home. So of course we both picked the Cards.
- Raiders 59, Broncos 14 - Dre loser, Jason winner - Sadly, I don't get points for margin of victory. I think I covered this one by more points combined than all of Dre's other wins over me this week. Air Orton had no chance this week, as his first pass of the game was a pick-6 and the Raiders had 31 points two minutes into the 2nd quarter.
- Patriots 23, Chargers 20 - Both winners - Pats as 3 point dogs going into the collapsing Chargers? In the immortal words of Darth Vader: "All too easy."
- Packers 28, Vikings 24 - Dre winner, Jason loser - The NFL apologized to Brad Childress for the ineptitude of the officiating crew that worked the game. Who apologized to Chilly about his 41 year old sexting QB tossing 3 picks to the Packers and fracturing his ankle in the process? The Vikings are in jeopardy of being Brady Quinn done while the Packers managed to escape in unimpressive style staring down a contest at the Jets. Any Packers not the IR prior to that game may be after it. The IR count for the Pack: 9!
- Giants 41, Cowboys 35 - Both winners - Speaking of Brady Quinn Done.....Tony Romo broke his collarbone! Jon Kitna isn't dead! Dez Bryant is pretty good! Too bad the Cowboys have no defense and no offensive line. The Giants put the nail in the coffin of the 2010 Boys. Excuse me while I laugh unmercifully....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SUCKAS!
Well, Dre kicked my ass this week. But I fear not, for his stats will soon return.
