Week 7 is probably going to go in the books as the craziest week of the 2004 season. We had Miami beating the so-called "Greatest Show on Turf", the Cards taking down the reeling Seachickens, Culpepper throwing for under 200 yards and 1 TD without Moss and the Vikes still beating the Titans by 17, and the Chiefs hanging 8 rushing TDs on the #1 rushing defense (up to that point in the season). The only certainties were the Pats beating yet another team and the Jags pulling off a win in the last minute (all 5 of their wins so far came under 1 minute remaining). But how many of these things were really surprises and which of them were bound to happen? So the question of the week is: what's the most overrated?
Last week was brutal, with a whopping 7 people over .500 and Ash leading the charge at 10-4. Overall, Ash reclaims a share of the lead with piff and SBR. Croup lurks four games back. In the percentage race, toader keeps the pace and stays 1% back. skihard still has a week or two to go before eligibility, but dang if that isn't a good pace so far.
Week 8 picks:
Arizona Cardinals at Buffalo Bills
Baltimore Ravens at Philadelphia Eagles Cincinnati Bengals at Tennessee Titans Detroit Lions at Dallas Cowboys Green Bay Packers at Washington Redskins Indianapolis Colts at Kansas City Chiefs
Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans
N.Y. Giants at Minnesota Vikings
Atlanta Falcons at Denver Broncos Carolina Panthers at Seattle Seahawks New England Patriots at Pittsburgh Steelers
Oakland Raiders at San Diego Chargers San Francisco 49ers at Chicago Bears
Miami Dolphins at N.Y. Jets
Not very many good games this week, but the Colts/Chiefs should be a shootout, the Giants/Vikes and Jags/Texans look decent, and the Ravens/Eagles look good, but the game of the week goes to (surprise!) the Pats, who take on the Steelers. The Panthers/Seahawks looked good at the beginning of the season and who wants to bet that the NFL wishes they could reschedule the Monday night game?

on a side note I think Durf would get more votes in the polls provided he wasn't teamed up with boobies. It's hard to say boobies are over rated.
Ugh, I called that Chiefs "upset" everywhere but here. Oh well, it's not like that week wouldn't have killed me anyway.

That's right, I'm taking a stand on the damn Patriots and going with the Steelers. I'll probably be wrong, but I don't care much at this point. Damn Patriots.
