Week Seven (Carolina Panthers Bye Week)
New Orleans Saints at Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs look like the team that can very well come out of the AFC West as champions this year and Arrowhead is easily one of the toughest places to play in the NFL. The Chiefs’ defense will be able to keep Brees and the offense at bay, while doing just enough offensively to get the job done. Not a high octane offense in Kansas City, but one that compliments their top-five defense well enough to make them contenders.
Chiefs 17 Saints 14
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at San Francisco 49ers
Flying from east to west coast is never an easy task, but the 49ers are such a bad team that the flight doesn’t affect the Buccaneers too much. The 49ers are a team with no direction and no leadership – including from the coaching staff. Bucs win this one easily.
Buccaneers 20 49ers 3
San Diego Chargers at Atlanta Falcons
The Chargers are outmatched in a big way in this one. As many shortcomings as the Falcons have, Phillip Rivers will be suffering this season because of the horrendous defense in San Diego. Matt Ryan and Julio are clicking in this one while this marks one of Freeman’s better games of the season. The dirty birds roll in the dirty south.
Falcons 28 Chargers 13
