Oddities spring up in desert matchup




I think it’s Sports Illustrated that has a little column named “Signs the apocalypse is upon us,” where sports oddities that defy reason are listed. The Picker expects to see the Monday night football game between Chicago and Arizona in it next issue. How else can you explain a 23-3 Arizona lead in the third quarter, or the amazing Chicago comeback or the missed 40-yard Cardinal field goal?



 
 
What an incredibly strange game. The Bears defense and special teams outscored the Cardinals and the Bears offense. Amazing.

So too were some of the games in week 6. Detroit, Tampa Ba, and Tennessee were all upset winners, while the Steelers, Cowboys and Jets seemed to right their ships.

It’s getting harder and harder to pick these games with the parity in the league these days. But the Picker is up for it. He picked eight games right in week 6 to tie all pickers, leaving the newspaper’s vaults safe for another week.

Lets see how he does this week. Here’s the picks.


Week 7

Cincinnati over Carolina

NY Jets over Detroit

Miami over Green Bay

Jacksonville over Houston

New England over Buffalo

Philadelphia over Tampa Bay

Pittsburgh over Atlanta

San Diego over Kansas City

Denver over Cleveland

Arizona over Oakland

Seattle over Minnesota

Indianapolis 21 over Washington 14

Dallas 27 over New York Giants 21
