NFL Predictions: Week 7

Interesting week last week. Just in general a great week of football, and I picked a great upset for Seattle and Carolina but I am absolutely shocked at the outcome of Arizona and Pittsburgh. Shocked. Martavis Bryant is a game changer.
Last Week: 7-6-1
Overall: 45-43-3

Seattle Seahawks @ San Fransisco 49ers (SEA -6.5) -> San Fransisco 49ers
Buffalo Bills @ Jacksonville Jaguars (BUF -4) -> Jacksonville Jaguars
Cleveland Browns @ St. Louis Rams (STL -6) -> St. Louis Rams
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Kansas City Chiefs (PIT -2.5) -> Kansas City Chiefs
Houston Texans @ Miami Dolphins (MIA -4) -> Miami Dolphins
New York Jets @ New England Patriots (NE -9) -> New York Jets
Minnesota Vikings @ Detroit Lions (MIN -2.5) -> Minnesota Vikings
Atlanta Falcons @ Tennessee Titans (ATL -4.5) -> Atlanta Falcons
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Washington Redskins (WAS -3.5) -> Tampa Bay Buccaneers
New Orleans Saints @ Indianapolis Colts (IND -4.5) -> Indianapolis Colts
Oakland Raiders @ San Diego Chargers (SD -4) -> San Diego Chargers
Dallas Cowboys @ New York Giants (NYG -3.5) -> New York Giants
Philadelphia Eagles @ Carolina Panther (CAR -3) -> Carolina Panthers
Baltimore Ravens @ Arizona Cardinals (ARI -9) -> Arizona Cardinals

A couple notes...
- I'm predicting a lot of upsets against the spread this week. I'm going with my gut and I think there will actually be a lot of close games this week.
- I don't think Seattle will lose to San Fransisco, but I think they will win by less than a touchdown.
- Jacksonville is going to keep it close with Tyrod Taylor out, and they even have a shot at winning if Bortles is on his game.
- The Rams are going to have a huge week behind a monster game from Todd Gurley. Coming off of a bye week, the Rams should be in a good position to hold off the Cleveland Browns shockingly solid passing attack and come away with a big win.
- Both the Pats and Panthers should come out with wins this week, although I think the Jets and Pats game will be really close.
- Lock of the Week: Atlanta Falcons @ Tennessee Titans. The Falcons are coming off of a loss so I think they should have a fire lit under them against a struggling Titans squad.
- Upset of the Week: Pittsburgh Steelers @ Kansas City Chiefs. KC has been really struggling, and many are calling for a switch at QB, but I just can't see them losing to a Steelers squad led by Landry Jones.
