Buffalo Bills Blitz NFL Week 7 Picks

Buffal Bills Blitz first pick of the week 7 (Atlanta +4 over Cowboys). I listed the Atlanta Falcons a an overrated football team early this season. However, something has changed. I don't know what happened, but the Falcons suddenly have a very solid defense. Save for on game against New England, Atlanta has surrendered 20 points or less in every contest. The Falcons have done well against the run the last two weeks. They are also, getting a pair of sacks each game, which helps a secondary which is ninth versus the pass, The injury to Brian Williams hurts, but I don't consider that a deal breaker. The Cowboys are a (Soft) football team because of there big names Tony Romo, Roy Williams and Jason Whitten but they have no substance. Left Tackle Flozell Adams has allowed three sacks this season and has been whistled for seven penalties already, will struggles against John Abraham who had been pretty mediocre this year. The key to the game is that Matt Ryan has only been sacked twice this year, and I can't wait to see that number go up against a Dallas Cowboy mediocre pass rush. With Micheal Turner running well, Ryan will have all the time he needs to find open wide receivers downfield. It will not be a pretty display for the Cowboy defense. Falcons 27 Cowboys 20. The second pick of the week is (Dolphins +6 Over Saints). It is hard to imagine Drew Brees slowing down, but let's not forget that he was held under 200yards against the Bills and Jets. At Buffalo, Bress was 16 for 29 172 yards. This is just proof that he is mortal. I am aware that there is a huge difference between the Bills and Dolphins when it comes to pass defense. Bills are actually ranked second. The Dolphins are 30th ranked. to stop Bress the Dolphins will have pressure on him without sending more than four players. Dolphins pass rush has done well of late, but Brees is protected by one of the top offensive lines in the NFL. I doubt if he gets touched during this contest. The Dolphins offense has improved tremendously under quarterback Chad Henne. Unlike Chad Pennington, Henne can stretch the field with his great arm strenght which opens up room for Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams, who are both averaging about 5 yards per carry this season. I think this is a terrible spot for the Saints. They are coming off a emotional game against the New York Giants. After the Dolphins who they are expected to handle easily. They have the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football. The Dolphins 27 Saints 23 in a upset. The final game of the week is the Carolina (Panthers-7 over Buffalo Bills). Trent Edwards may not play because of a concussion suffered during the game against the New York Jets. Both Edwards and Fitzpatrick are pretty identical. In, fact there may be a came that most fans would rather have Fitzpatrick at quarterback because he actually has the balls to throw the football downfield to Terrel Owens and Lee Evans. Fitzpatrick may not have the arm to get it there, but he would at least strecth the defense. The Panthers are 27th against the rush and the Bills will depend on Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson should have plenty of wide open lanes to run the football. The Panthers actually grew a brain last week and got back to the basics week. they saw a big weakness in the Bucs defensive line and exploited it by running the football with DeAngelo Williams and Johnathan Stewart 47 times both running backs had over 100 yards. I love the Panthers in this game because of there running game. Panthers 27 Bills 10
