Week 7 NFL Roundup: Bloodbath in Carolina and New England

We have come to the end of another weekend of betting at Wannamakeabet.com and as we have said from the very beginning, thank god it’s not real money!  This mantra was never more true this weekend as there were some horrific losses for bettors on Sunday.  Let’s get into the Week 7 NFL roundup.  What did we learn?

Pride over Perception

The commish was knocked out of the DraftKings million dollar survivor league on Sunday thanks to the Tampa Bay Bucs.  As a 13 point favorite, they went into Carolina and laid the ultimate egg.  We heard yesterday that it was only the fourth time since 1989 that a double digit favorite who had lost the week before lost back to back games.   Carolina, without a head coach, starting quarterback, and banged up secondary absolutely laid the wood to Tom Brady and the Bucs and sent them home with only 3 points to show for their effort.  This shows us what a chip on the shoulder and pride can do for a team.  It shows us that any team in the NFL can win on any given Sunday.  And most of all, it shows us that Tampa Bay is a bad football team right now, and there’ no such thing as snapping out of a losing streak when things are this bad.

Cincy’s Back in the AFC North

The Bengals, after a rough 0-2 start, are the best team in the AFC North.  The Browns are going nowhere with Jacoby Brissett as he had yet another untimely turnover in the loss to the Ravens.  And Pittsburgh’s Kenny throw a Pickett is not much better.  The Ravens will continue to try and lose games.  It’s not over yet but as we approach the midway part of the season, Cincy appears to be heading back to the post-season.

Giant Pair

The Giants know how to play football in the 4th quarter.  When the chips are down, Daniel Jones is making plays.  Often times with his wheels but hey, whatever it takes.  The NFC East, after a few years of being the worst division in football, may just be the best this year with the G-Men, Dallas, and Philly all sporting at least 5 wins.

AFC South Shit Show

On the other side of the AFC, the South sucks.  The Titans are 4-2 with the best record but even that seems hard to believe with the way they play defense.  No team in this division poses a real threat to the AFC elites like Buffalo, KC, Cincy or Baltimore and this seems like it’s heading to a team winning the division with 9 wins.

Pack It In

Just like Tampa, the Packers are a bad football team.  It’s hard to believe that Aaron Rodgers, who is the reigning league MVP could be playing so poorly but he is.  There is no part of the Packers that looks good right now and yet they continue to roll into cities as more than a field goal favorites.  And this week, they are going to subject themselves to public humiliation as they face the mighty Buffalo Bills on Sunday night in front of the entire country.  Can’t wait to see Aaron’s sour puss on national TV for Chris and Tirico to analyze.

Seattle is damn good

The NFC west darlings Seattle continue to impress as underdogs yet again.  This week it was the Chargers who they laid the wood to and light up for 37 points and covered easily as 5 point dogs.  They now sit on top of the NFC West standings.   But they are now the leagues 3rd best offense behind the Bills and Chiefs and Geno Smith is the 4th best quarterback and officially an MVP candidate.  What were those odds before the season started?

Bears Wreck Survivor

The Chicago bears rolled into New England on Monday night and ruined the party for Bill Bellichick and the Pats to surpass Chicago Bears legend George Halas in the all time wins record book with 324.  Halas must have been up in heaven last night pissing and spitting down on bill in the form of fog and rain because it wasn’t going to happen as the Bears hammered New England in every facet of the game.    That win wrecked every teaser, moneyline, moneyline parlay and Survivor player who were convinced New England wasn’t going to lose that game.  Have you figured out the NFL yet?

That concludes our Week 7 NFL roundup.  Good luck this week as we head to Week 8, you’re going to need it to cover.
