Week 7 Results

So I didn't get around to detailing what happened in week 6, but, oh well. Now if I didn't discuss some of what happened in week 7 I wouldn't be worthy of running this game.

Week 7 was more than interesting. One winless team is no longer winless and the other winless team, maybe shouldn't be winless. And that doesn't even touch on what the Browns did to the DEFENDING SUPERBOWL CHAMPS.

First, lets look at the UNsurprising results... Out of thirteen games yesterday, three (3) had not particularly surprising results. In a game that no one in the Frenzy had anything to do with, the Steelers were able to edge out the Dolphins in Miami, 23-22. The Patriots went out West and held off the Chargers late surge, 23-20, giving BigGuy his second win of the season. The Packers were able to defend their home turf, 28-24, pushing family to 4-1 and dropping Carp to 3-3 and Go Mountaineers to 3-2 and the Falcons, who jumped out a 24-3 lead on the Bengals coasted to a 39-32 victory, which allows Cam2109 to remain atop the Kent Division with a 4-1 record.

Games that were surprises... and that had no effect on the Frenzy standings-The Raiders scored 59 points on the Broncos IN DENVER, winning 59 to 14. The Chiefs continue their little run, pushing their record to 4-2 with a 42-20 win over the Jacksonville "We-Can't-Fill-Our-Seats-So-We-Keep-Putting-A-Tarp-Over-Them" Jaguars. Also, the previously winless Panthers beat the once proud 49ers and Mike Singletary must be feeling the heat on his seat.

In the games that do matter, the WINLESS Bills went to Baltimore and jumped out to a 24-10 late second quarter lead only to watch the Ravens battle back with 24 unanswered points to take a 34-24 lead in the 4th quarter. For the second week in a row, though, they gave up the lead and allowed the Bills to force overtime where the Ravens ultimately won 37-34. With the Ravens win 8 players notched victories but certainly didn't pad their stats like they expected to. But look on the bright side, you eight. The Browns went into the New Orleans Superdome and put up 30 points on the Saints (thanks in large part to 4 Drew Brees interceptions, 2 of which were returned for touchdowns)... Browns-30, Saints-17. That shocker gave Wissinger, RWKIDD, SAW, and JayDub their second losses of the season and Kinger 1 & BERT#1 their third losses. Also, the Eagles managed to give 27 4th quarter points and lost 37-19 to the Titans who have quietly put together a nice season so far at 5-2.

So there you have it. In this topsy-turvy 2010 NFL season there's NO standout team right now. The top two favored teams this week (Saints, 14 point favorites, and Ravens, 13.5 point favorites) were given quite a battle. One team survived and the other buckled. The week's not over yet as we have the Cowboys & Giants going at it tonight... the way this year is going the 1-4 Cowboys will probably win 35-10 or something.

Week 8 starts Sunday at 1:00pm. Get your picks in or take the sure loss. Good luck.
