Week 7 Recap

I called it. St. Louis over Dallas. I wasn’t counting on it being by that much, but I still called it. The Giants played well in their tune-up game for Pittsburgh. Washington beat Cleveland. How tight is the AFC South? Every week you think a different team is the cream of the crop. It’s definitely going to be a race for the playoff spot between the teams in the South and the teams in the East. No one from the North or West besides the division champs are making it. Speaking of which, Chicago bested Minnesota in what could best be dubbed a defensive shootout and Green Bay played great against Indy. Arizona was on their bye, but it didn’t matter because Seattle and San Fran both lost, meaning that the closest team to the Cards is the 2-4 Rams. Ouch.

Game of the Week: Oakland over NY Jets
As much as I hate Oakland, Janikowski made a great kick in overtime to pull this one out. Even though there wasn’t a whole lot of scoring and there was some sloppy play, this was still a very entertaining game to watch.

Most Disappointing Game of the Week: Green Bay over Indy
Everyone was expecting this to be a shootout, but Indy’s offense forgot to show up. If this keeps happening much more often, Indy will be sitting on their couches watching the playoffs this year.

Performance of the Week: LenDale White and Chris Johnson
320 yards and 4 touchdowns between the two of them. Looks like I made a good call starting both of them on my fantasy team last week. Kansas City’s run defense is downright awful.
