Week 7 Picks

And we’re back for your week 7 picks (admittedly a little late this week).  Last week both models underperformed by predicting less than 50% of the games correctly.  Wholesale changes are coming to the second model but for this week we will only use the original model.  The adjusted R square for this model seems to have settled at about .75, which is acceptable.  Finally, Wojay Wonders will be taking a break this week.

·         Bears at Buccaneers (Bears by 2)

M1 Prediction	Mike_Z	Wojay	Kyle Kelly
Buccaneers	Bears	Buccaneers	Buccaneers

Mike Z Thoughts:  Jay Cutler is pretty damn good

·         Redskins at Panthers (Panthers by 2.5)

M1 Prediction	Mike_Z	Wojay	Kyle Kelly
Panthers	Panthers	Redskins	Panthers

Mike Z Thoughts:  I’ve seen John Beck’s body of work before

·         Chargers at Jets (Chargers by 1)

M1 Prediction	Mike_Z	Wojay	Kyle Kelly
Chargers	Chargers	Jets	Chargers

Mike Z Thoughts:  The biggest farce going around right now is that Revis shut down Brandon Marshall.  If Marshall catches that one TD pass he would have a stat line that read: 7 catches for 110 yards and a Touchdown.  Way to shut him down Revis…

·         Seahawks at Browns (Browns by 3)

M1 Prediction	Mike_Z	Wojay	Kyle Kelly
Seahawks	Browns	Browns	Seahawks

Mike Z Thoughts:  Browns because of homefield advantage

·         Texans at Titans (Titans by 2.5)

M1 Prediction	Mike_Z	Wojay	Kyle Kelly
Texans	Titans	Titans	Titans

Mike Z Thoughts:  The Titans are very limited without Andre Johnson

·         Broncos at Dolphins (Broncos by 1.5)

M1 Prediction	Mike_Z	Wojay	Kyle Kelly

Mike Z Thoughts:  Don’t ask….

Mike Z Thoughts:  Can we please stop calling Matt Ryan “elite”
