A good week for me with the confidence selections. I told you all I would be back on top. I missed on two games. The Bills surprised me, but I shouldn't have been since I think Jake Delhomme is done as a NFL quarterback. I also missed on the Cardinals big road win in New Jersey on Sunday night which made look the Giants to be in big trouble with a much more difficult schedule ahead. I came in with 79/91 points and was followed by a tie between my sister and my brother-in-law who both came in at 73/91 points. Better luck next week to all of you who participated, but I don't expect to give up the top spot anytime soon.

Touchdown Dance Spread Picks (Week 7)

Green Bay @ Cleveland (+7) (41.5) Take the Packers (-7) and the under. Green Bay- 31 Cleveland- 3 Total- 34 Easy pick here, the Packers have found a groove against a couple weak opponents and the Browns just stink. I hit on both the spread and the under. (1-0-0), (1-0-0)

San Francisco @ Houston (-3) (44) Take the Texans (-3) and the over. Houston- 24 San Francisco- 21 Total- 45 The game looked to be getting out of hand early, but a switch in quarterbacks and a renewed defensive attitude made this a very close game. The 49ers comeback gave me a push against the spread, but did give me the over by a point. (1-0-1), (2-0-0)

San Diego @ Kansas City (+4.5) (44) Take the Chargers (-4.5) and the under. San Diego- 37 Kansas City- 7 Total- 44 After a horrible showing against the division leading Broncos the Chargers took out their frustration on the Chiefs which let me hit on the spread. The Chiefs defensive which I thought was improving lead me to taking a push on the under. (2-0-1), (1-1-1)

Indianapolis @ St. Louis (+13) (45.5) Take the Colts (-13) and the under. Indianapolis- 42 St. Louis- 6 Total- 48 Peyton Manning and the Colts began where they left off after the bye week which gave me the spread, but scored a bit too much handing me a defeat on the under. (3-0-1), (1-2-1)

New England @ Tampa Bay in London, England (+15) (45) Take the Patriots and the under. New England- 35 Tampa Bay- 7 Total- 42 The Patriots didn't score as big as last week, but plenty enough to give me the spread. The trip overseas to London probably helped me in hitting on the under. (4-0-1), (2-2-1)

Minnesota @ Pittsburgh (-4) (45) Take the Vikings (-4) and the over. Pittsburgh- 27 Minnesota- 17 Total- 44 The Vikings had plenty of chances to win this game. The mistakes by the offense cost me the spread, but the Steelers defense gave me the over. Barely! (4-1-1), (3-2-0)

Buffalo @ Carolina (-7) (37) Take the Panthers (-7) and the under. Buffalo- 20 Carolina- 9 Total- 29 The Panthers game was a huge disappointment where they had a chance to get back to even. I lost on the spread, but the inept offensive play by both the Bills and the Panthers let me hit on the under. (4-2-1), (4-2-1)

NY Jets @ Oakland (+6) (35) Take the Jets (-6) and the over. NY Jets- 38 Oakland- 0 Total- 38 The Jets came back from last week's disappointment and beat down the Raiders which gave me the spread and the over. (5-2-1), (5-2-1)

Chicago @ Cincinnati (-1.5) (42) Take the Bengals and the under. Cincinnati- 45 Chicago- 10 Total- 55 The Bengals romping gave me the spread, but the Bears dis-interested defense cost me the under. (6-2-1), (5-3-1)

Atlanta @ Dallas (-4) (47) Take the Falcons (+4) and the under. Dallas- 37 Atlanta- 21 Total- 58 Big win for the Cowboys who had their best offensive performance which cost me the spread and the Falcons lack of defense cost me the under. (6-3-1), (5-4-1)

New Orleans @ Miami (+7) (47) Take the Saints (-7) and the under. New Orleans- 46 Miami- 34 Total- 80 Great comeback from quite possibly the best team in the NFL. The Saints big 2nd half gave me a win on the spread, but lack of defense by both teams cost me the under. (7-3-1), (5-5-1)

Arizona @ NY Giants (-7) (46) Take the Cardinals (+7) and the over. Arizona- 24 NY Giants- 17 Total- 41 The Cardinals aggressive defensive attack caused Eli and the Giants many problems, but gave me a win on the spread. That lack of offense did cost me the over though. (8-3-1), (5-6-1)

Philadelphia @ Washington (+7) (37.5) Take the Eagles (-7) and the over. Philadelphia- 27 Washington- 17 Total- 44 The Eagles offense was inconsistent, but did enough to give me the spread along with winning on the over. (9-3-1), (6-6-1)
