Week 7 NFL Preview- Part 1

I know its been awhile since I've done one of these. Week 5 I was 9-5 on my predictions. I'll attempt to do better this week. On to my prognosis!

San Francisco at Houston
Like most of Houston's games, they'll try to make it a track meet, since they're capable of putting up a lot of points, but give up a lot, as well. Both teams hit the quarterback, while allowing too many hits. Based on the yards gained and red zone attempts, this game skews into Houston's favor. Final score 31-21 Houston.

Green Bay at Cleveland
The numbers are totally in the Packers favor in this game. Cleveland has three times as many turnovers, given up double the red zone chances, and allows 110 more yards per game. Couple that with Green Bay averaging 120 more yards per game offensively, I see a blow out. If I'm a Packers fan, I would be concerned with the 25 sacks Aaron Rodgers has taken this season. That's way too many. Final score 38-10 Green Bay.

San Diego at Kansas City
I was surprised to see the numbers were relatively close for both teams. The Chiefs even have the turnover differential edge (+4 to +1). However, the the stark difference is yards gained per game, and San Diego wallops Kansas City in that category by 180 yards on average. It will be a closer game than people think, but the Chargers should win it. Final score 20-17 San Diego.

Indianapolis at St Louis
I feel bad for Steve Spagnulo. This is a floundering, hapless team that is in need for major upgrades at several positions, quarterback being the greatest priority. The Colts are coming off a bye week, and Peyton Manning is arguably having the finest season of his distinguished career. This should be a romp, and I wouldn't be surprised if Jim Sorgi takes some snaps once the game is in hand. Final score 41-3 Indianapolis.
