2018 THE WILD SHAMROCK NFL WEEK 7 PREDICTION

Last week the Shit hit the fan.

when the shit hits the fan call batman

Watching the games and seeing our predictions flop, we knew we had gone down a dark road with no headlights.

shit storms

We knew the storm was coming as the late afternoon games got started. Batman could not help us. It was a bad week at the office. We went 6-9 last week.

OUR SEASON RECORD NOW IS 38-39

NO WORRIES !!! We placed a call to the Evil empire and Tom Brady let us borrow the death star cannon.

death star

We used it on all the crystal balls we have at our offices that have been giving foolish data all year long. Totally wiped out like they never existed. We have built our new offices on the fly.

van down by the river

We’re in our mobile van down by the river… our temporary football headquarters with clean air. Some fresh laps in the river of sludge and we have a total new outlook in the football world. We are ready to tackle week seven and get our respect back.

SUNDAY’S MATCH UP                                                                    OUR WINNER

TENNESSEE TITANS AT LA CHARGERS (LONDON)                    CHARGERS

Another game in London which shocks me that there are no Jacksonville Jaguars. Will the Chargers build a better fan base in London or LA? Do they still have anybody from San Diego rooting for them. Hopefully the Titans can bring some moonshine to the local in exchange for warm beer. The Titans lack an offense and have no way of keeping up with the Chargers offense. The Chargers defense will have no problem shutting down the Titans offense with a regressing Marcus Mariota. I think Titans should start Gabbert to get the offense off life support. Plus then we can say an X Jacksonville player was at least part of the London game.

BROWNS AT BUCCANEERS                                                                BUCCANEERS

I hate Jameis Winston like most uber drivers dislike this man. Now that he has a full game under his belt and the Buccaneers are at home, I could see this game going to Buccaneers. I love watching Baker Mayfield as he’s a fearless leader out there. I think he will make the mistake that will cost the Browns a victory in a close shoot-out type of game. Both teams have some big weapons. I think Buccaneers offense has more options and will be hard to cover. Winston had his team fighting back late last week in the Falcon game. Buccaneers come out blazing right from the start of this contest.

PATRIOTS AT BEARS                                                                                   PATRIOTS

It will be PATRIOTS day at Soldiers field this Sunday. This go around will be different than the last meeting in Chicago with these two teams. It will not be Tom Brady and the Evil Empire putting up 50 points against the junior varsity defense the Bears had at the time. Evil Empire is firing on all cylinders as they have won three in a row. Meanwhile the Bears’ Mitch Trubisky has gotten better. However they gave Miami the win last week. Lots of stupid mistakes by the team and coaching staff. My key in this game are the Patriots just saw the Bears type of offense with the Kansas City Chiefs. I think the man under the hoodie will have an intense game plan to disrupt Trubisky. Not liking that Khalil Mack is a bit banged up. They would need him to make Brady uncomfortable. This will be a close game but Evil Empire prevail in the fourth quarter and win this by a touchdown.

BILLS AT COLTS                                                                                          COLTS

I’m doing it again. Going down a dark road as I will give you plenty of warning that I’m picking the Bills in this one. I know you’re thinking how shocking and what is this cat smoking. The Bills offense has been pretty close to dismal. However with a veteran named Derrick Anderson taking over for the injured Josh Allen, I think we will see finally something happen that we have not seen in a long time. A few scores and not just field goals. As long as Anderson does not get hurt I feel being a back up for years he is used to coming in and doing well. We do not want to see that bum Nate Peterman enter the game.  I can’t believe he’s still on the team with 9 interceptions in 79 throws and he still gets chances. Andrew Luck has been having a great year. However his receivers drop way too many balls. This is where the Buffalo defense plays into this factor as they will create turnovers and that will doom the Colts as the Bills are like Sneaky Pete and come away with a victory on the road.

TEXANS AT JAGUARS                                                                                    JAGUARS

Both teams going in opposite directions. I thing Doug Marone has declared war on the AFC South opponents

Watson is a little banged up and I think the Jacksonville defense will rise up in this contest for the Jaguars who are playing at their Florida location this week. The Jaguars acquired running back Carol Hyde from the Browns this week who will get that running game going strong again. The less things Bortles has to do, the better. Home cooking for the Jag Bags and the defense rebounding. They pull away in a close one this week.

PANTHERS AT EAGLES                                                                                 EAGLES

If the Fig Newton is the only run threat the Panthers have. The Eagles defense will contain him. The Eagles defense plays better at home. Both teams will put up some points. I like how Wentz and the Eagles offense has finally got things turned around as they were riding the short bus of struggles most of the season. Newton will not be able to match points with the Eagle offense. In the end Eric Reid and the Panthers will not be kneeling in victory formation.

LIONS AT DOLPHINS                                                                                      LIONS

I do not see the Dolphins getting lucky two weeks in a roll. Last week the Bears handed the Dolphins a gift basket win with a bow. No way Brock Osweiler will have another pretty good game two weeks in a roll. Missed kicks by Green Bay kicker helped the Lions steal the game last week against their division rival. I think the Lions defense will have a better plan than the Bears on defense and slow down the Dolphins and actually make key tackles. Stafford will use the aerial attack and pick a part the Miami secondary as Lions go on the road before a bye and come away with a victory to even up their record.

VIKINGS AT JETS                                                                                             VIKINGS

Jets put up a huge amount of points against the Colts last week. They also gave up a lot of points. The Vikings are a different animal. They have more bullets in the chamber than the Colts Receivers. They do not drop the balls like the Colts receivers either. Vikings seem like they are finally getting all their units to play well at the same time. I do not see Sam Darnold able to get all those looks down field like he did last week. The Vikings will put more pressure on the rookie and keep him contained as Vikings roll again.

SAINTS AT RAVENS                                                                                          SAINTS

This will be a great offense versus a great defense. Usually a great defense can take out a great offense. The Ravens held the Steelers to only 14 points. However the Bengals put up 34 on them early in the season. The rest of the teams the Ravens have played are not that impressive. I’m not buying into the Ravens yet. I don’t think they have a defense like back in the Ray Lewis days when he was murdering people at the night clubs. The Saints are a tad slower outdoors. The Saints offense is a well oiled machine and I can’t see the Ravens stopping a train on the tracks heading full speed at you. Flacco can not win in a shoot out either. Saints will not put up 40 points but the Ravens will not score enough points to win this one in Baltimore.

COWBOYS AT REDSKINS                                                                             COWBOYS

This used to be one of the best rivals in the NFL. However these days when both teams meet it is nothing to write home about. Last week the Cowboys erupted with 40 points on the Jaguars defense. Finally the offense that has been lacking all year had a pulse and it was pulsing at a high rate. Redskins are winning some games. You don’t know what you will get each week when comes to this team. Will you get bad Spanky old man Peterson. Or will you get a determined Spanky Peterson, a man coming off tanning some hides before kick off. The defense has these trends as well, one day Rodgers is running for his life, Charlie Brown. Then a week later Drew Brees is setting records.  I like the Cowboys who finally found themselves and are out of the closet as Ezekiel Elliot has another big game and a Cowboys win.

RAMS AT 49ERS                                                                                      RAMS

Is it basketball season yet in the bay area? Golden State Warriors are the focus by the Golden Gtate bridge. Maybe the 49ers team bus could roll off the bridge and start a total new rebuild for next year. The Rams are rolling as they are undefeated and they are not the second fiddle in their town. 49ers last week had a lead that they gave up to Rodgers at the end. Many teams have fallen for the old Rodgers come back. But if you’re not going to defend the side lines against Green Bay at the end of the game, what kind of plan will you have against the Rams? Rams will not get behind early like the Packers did. Rams win this one and make the guys from the Miami Dolphins back in the day of their undefeated year, a tad nervous. No popping the champagne this week.

BENGALS AT CHIEFS                                                                               CHIEFS

Another prime time game for the Chiefs. I like that the Chiefs are at home for this one. If they had to go Cincinnati, I probably would have picked Bengals. Mahomes finally got to play under the lights last Sunday night. He finally played in huge game against the Patriots in which his team lost. However these are good things. You played in one prime time game against the best in the business and you almost won that game. They can build on that and being at home I think the Chiefs rebound quickly and dispatch the Bengals who are probably still thinking of their last second loss against the Steelers last Sunday. Losses like that can linger for a few weeks and I see Andy Dalton will come out and make some mistakes. This game will be another shoot out but Mahomes will draw last and fire the winning shot at kooky kook Carell.

GIANTS AT FALCONS                                                                                FALCONS

This could be a great offensive shoot out. It would be like the circus as both teams will razzle and dazzle you. Will Odell Beckham Junior, the dog he is, be foaming at the mouth and have to be put down? Or will Odell Beckham erupt with tight rope catches and make this into the game of the week on Monday night. I like the Falcons at home, it seems to be their only friend right now. The Giants will score off that defense that is in shambles. However Eli Manning will make a costly mistake towards the end that every Giant fan watching at home will be screaming to make a trade to the Raiders to get Derrick Carr. Falcons by a touch down.
