SFL Pigskin Pick 'Em (Week 7)
by Crimsion | 5 years ago | 2 Comments
We're about to hit the halfway point of the season for some teams, and what a perfect time to flip things on their heads.
I've decided to change things up a bit in regards to the weekly pick 'em columns, a few cycles ago I would have a select committee pick each and every game, that just became too much over time. Now I've invited a handful of the SFL's own to pick alongside me, and see who just has the best eye for talent in regards to their competition.
Without further ado, here is the new and improved pick 'em section for week 7.
Game Of The Week
(5-1) Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles (6-0)
Crim's Pick: Dallas Cowboys
Zach and the Dallas Cowboys are up to their usual tricks here, excelling in the regular season with high hopes and expectations. This week he goes toe to toe with Bryce in a battle for the NFC East. Both of these teams possess solid units on both sides of the ball, but I foresee Zeke controlling the pace of play and coming up big for this Dallas team this week.
(5-1) Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles (6-0)
Ed's Pick: Philadelphia Eagles
"Both teams have been hot out of the gate coming into this matchup with perfect 6-0 records. Something will have to give as the Eagles travel to Dallas for a prime time matchup with the winner taking over sole possession of the NFC East. I expect Philly to pickup the road win in a closely contested, gritty divisional matchup." - Ed
(5-1) Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles (6-0)
Clint's Pick: Dallas Cowboys
"Two good records, two Madden over rated teams, Zach is my dude, Bryce is not, could go either way with the Madden love they get." - Clint
(5-1) Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles (6-0)
Bryce's Pick: Philadelphia Eagles
"Bringing back a rivalry from a couple maddens ago, the two powerhouses of the NFC East face off. Cowboys coming off their first loss of the season and the Eagles are looming to make it back to back losses. Eagles 36- Cowboys 28" - Bryce
(5-1) Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles (6-0)
Jason's Pick: Philadelphia Eagles
N/A
The Lock
(0-6) New York Giants vs Arizona Cardinals (3-3)
Crim's Pick: Arizona Cardinals
There isn't much to be said here that wasn't said by myself two weeks ago, Bando just threw his first touchdown in a loss last week. If you're taking 5 games to find the endzone through the air once, well in the wise words of Stan Lee, 'nuff said.
(2-4) Los Angeles Rams vs Atlanta Falcons (4-2)
Ed's Pick: Atlanta Falcons
"The Rams have been a disaster as of late losing 5 games in a row, including two divisional games to the Seahawks and 49ers. I don’t expect things to change this week as they travel to Atlanta to take on the powerhouse Falcons." - Ed
(1-4) Indianapolis Colts vs Houston Texans (4-2)
Clint's Pick: Houston Texans
"Chan is just too consistent to be beat by subpar teams, won't happen" - Clint
(0-6) New York Giants vs Arizona Cardinals (3-3)
Bryce's Pick: Arizona Cardinals
"Giants haven’t had anything go right since week 1, and I don’t think any of us are expecting otherwise until Lando shows us wrong. I expect the Cardinals to take care of business with ease.
Cardinals 42- Giants 10" - Bryce
(0-6) New York Giants vs Arizona Cardinals (3-3)
Jason's Pick: Arizona Cardinals

The Upset
(2-4) New Orleans Saints vs Chicago Bears (4-1)
Crim's Pick: New Orleans Saints
(2-3) Oakland Raiders vs Green Bay Packers (1-5)
Ed's Pick: Green Bay Packers
"The Packers have gotten out to a miserable 1-5 start with Aaron Rodgers and company this season and find themselves sitting at last place in the NFC North. The Raiders on the other hand haven’t proven their identity yet as they’ve been hot and cold from week to week. I believe Green Bay proves their potential this week as they try to get their season back on track as they host the Raiders at Lambeau Field." - Ed
(2-4) Los Angeles Rams vs Atlanta Falcons (4-2)
Clint's Pick: Los Angeles Rams
"Aaron Donald has a day, Gurley gets what the push up front he needs to be effective, timely turnovers help rams take the W." - Clint
(2-4) New Orleans Saints vs Chicago Bears (4-1)
Bryce's Pick: New Orleans Saints
"Julian comes into this week having shown promise and stupidity all at the same time, but with a team behind him to make up for simple mistakes I can see him barely getting past Ed and the Bears. Ed has said the NFC goes through him, but none of us believe it yet.
Saints over Bears 21-17" - Bryce
(2-4) New Orleans Saints vs Chicago Bears (4-1)
Jason's Pick: New Orleans Saints
