Happy whatever day it is that you're watching this. It's Mo, Morgan, MoProblems, any of the above. Today I'm going to be doing a week 7 preview as well as my predictions. So let's go ahead and take a look at the different games, talk about what I think is going to happen, and for a few of them I'm going to give my reasons why. I don't follow all the teams, so for some of them I'm not going to really have much to say on it. Let's jump in with Monday Night Football. We have the Saints at the Cardinals. I believe that the Cardinals are going to pull out a win here, and the reason I believe that is because the Cardinals have been proving themselves to be a rather good team, and I see no reason for them to lose that game. They're at home. The Saints have not been proving themselves. They are 2-4, and the Cardinals are 2-4. So neither team are particularly good, however, I do think the Cardinals being at home are going to take a win on that one. Next up we have my team, the Cowboys, playing against the Lions at home. Since the Cowboys are at home and Doc Prescott is returning, he is confirmed to return, I believe that the Cowboys are going to win this game. The Lions are also not particularly good. They are 1-4 right now, and we are 4-2. So the Cowboys are going to move to 5-2, and the Lions are going to move to 1-5. The next game is the Steelers at the Dolphins. The last I've seen, Tua is getting ready to play. He had a concussion. He's recovered from that. At least that's what they're saying. They are monitoring him closely, I believe. I don't know much about that situation, but it looks like Tua is going to play. They're playing the Steelers at home, so I'm going to chalk it up to the Dolphins taking that game. They're going to move to 4-3, and the Steelers are going to move to 2-5. The next prediction I have is the Falcons at the Bengals. I believe that the Bengals are going to pull out this win. I like Joe Burrow a lot. Both teams are 3-3, so they're both kind of on that same wavelength as far as their win-loss ratio. I think Joe Burrow is a little bit stronger of a quarterback, and since they are at home, the Bengals are going to pull out that win. The next game I've predicted is the Colts at the Titans. I put the Colts as defeating the Titans, even though the Titans are home. This would push the Colts to 4-2-1, and the Titans to 3-3. The next game I have predicted are the Packers at the Commanders. I think the Commanders are going to win that game against the Packers. I don't think the Packers are particularly strong right now, just based on what I've personally seen, compared to some of the other teams at least. So I believe that the Commanders, being at home, being that they also pulled out a win last week, they're going to move to 3-4, and the Packers are going to move to the same one, 3-4. Next up, the Buccaneers at the Panthers. The Buccaneers lost last week. That kind of shocked me. I think the Buccaneers are going to win this week, even though it's an away game. It's going to push them to 4-3, it's going to push the Panthers to 1-6. If the Buccaneers lose that game to the Panthers, who are currently 1-5, I think there's going to need to be some reevaluating for sure. Next up, I predicted the Giants are going to win against the Jaguars. The Giants are away. However, the Giants have been surprising. The whole NFC East has been surprising me. I don't know what's going on with the NFC East right now. The worst team right now is the Commanders, who are 2-4, and I think they're going to go to 3-4, which is not horrible, considering we're early in the season. So it's very interesting what's going on with the NFC East. But like I said, I think the Giants are going to move to 6-1 against the Jaguars, who will be pushed to 2-5. Next up on my list is the Browns at the Ravens. The Ravens are going to win that. I have nothing much else to say on that. The Ravens will move to 4-3, the Browns to 2-5. The next game I've predicted are the Jets at the Broncos. I went back and forth on this one. I wanted to say the Jets would win. I want to give the Broncos a shot here. So I might end up being wrong on this, but I'm going to put... And the Jets are 4-2, so I realize that the odds are really that they will win. But I want to say that the Broncos, being 2-4, have a lot more to fight for, and being that it's a home game for them, I think they're going to go to 3-4 and win this game. Pushing the Jets to 4-3. Next are the Texans at the Raiders. Neither of these teams are good. The Texans haven't been good in a long time. The Raiders haven't been good in a long time. I think the Texans are going to win this one, though, even though it's an away game for them. Pushing the Texans to 2-3-1, and the Raiders to 1-5. The next game I've predicted are the Seahawks at the Chargers. I think that's an easy win for the Chargers. The Seahawks are going to be pushed to 3-4. The Chargers, who are at home this game, are going to be pushed to 5-2. Next on my list are the Chiefs at the 49ers. I think the Chiefs are going to win this game. The 49ers are at home. I believe they're going to be put to 3-4, and the Chiefs are going to move to 5-2. You really can't beat Mahomes, man. Mahomes is just such a strong quarterback. I really enjoy watching him play. I'm biased because he's a Texas boy, but I really like Mahomes. Now my final prediction is the Bears at the Patriots. I think that the Patriots are going to take a win here against the Bears. The reason I say that is both of the teams seem kind of on the same-ish level from what I've seen, and also based on their records. The Bears being currently 2-4, and the Patriots being 3-3. Since it's a home game for the Patriots, I want to put the Patriots at 4-3, and the Bears at 2-5. It might be a close game, that one, but I'm not quite certain the Bears have what it takes to pull it off. We'll see. Anyways, those are my predictions. Kind of around the NFL right now, there's not too much going on. The big stories have been the various quarterback injuries. The two biggest names that have been thrown around are Tua and Dak. Both of them are, at least from what I've last seen, are expected to play their respective games. I'm very excited to see what happens there. I like both of those teams. The Dolphins are my favorite AFC team, and that just goes back to when I was a child. I liked that they were teal and orange, and that their mascot was a—or their logo was a dolphin. The Cowboys, I had no choice. I was born into that. However, I am a big Cowboys fan. I love the Cowboys. I'm a Dak fan. I do miss Romo. I grew up with Romo. But when Dak started up, I very much supported him, and I've stayed behind him since. I think it's going to be interesting to see how those returns go. I'm very excited to see both of these players back in. I hope that they both stay healthy. Dak has been injured with two rather severe injuries now, with his ankle and also with his thumb. And two, that was a really crazy, scary hit that he took that I still can't get out of my head the fingers thing that happened. Like, he just—it looked like he was just paralyzed for a moment or having some sort of seizure or something. It was insane. And he's only 24, so I hate to see him get injured so young. I think Dak is 28 or 29 now, so he's still pretty young too to be suffering these injuries. But that just goes to show that this is a tough sport. Not just anyone can walk on and do it. Mad respect to all the guys in the NFL. That's it for my NFL Week 7 predictions. Hopefully I get some right. Last week, I only got seven right. So maybe I'll get even more right this time. Make sure you tune in on Tuesday, possibly Wednesday, just knowing my track record, to catch my NFL Week 7 preview—I was going to say preview. My NFL Week 7 recap, I'm going to talk about the different things that happened that were notable. I'm also going to be looking at how many predictions I got correct. I'll talk to you guys then.
