Missouri vs Vanderbilt Game Preview


Why Missouri Will Win

Vanderbilt still isn’t big on that whole scoring thing.

It’s dead last in the nation in averaging just 13.2 points per outing whether it needs them or not.

The team is able to battle from time to time, but it has yet to score more than 20 points in any SEC game and scored six or fewer in three of the four.

Missouri has its issues, but it’s got the versatility to move the ball however it wants. It ran well against North Texas, it threw just fine against Tennessee and Boston College, and any sort of a scoring burst might be too much for this struggling Commodore attack to overcome.

However …

Why Vanderbilt Will Win

Missouri still isn’t big on that whole defense thing.

The Tigers are dead last in the SEC in total defense, second-to-last in the nation against the run, and there are a whole lot of problems getting off the field – offenses are allowing teams to hit close to 50% of their third down chances.

No, Vanderbilt’s offense isn’t anything special, but it has to try running and keep hammering away no matter what – things will eventually open up.

The Tigers have allowed 275 yards or more on the ground in five of their last six games, with North Texas the only team that didn’t get there and bombed away for over 300 yards.

What’s Going To Happen

This is one game that Vanderbilt has a real shot at winning in SEC play.

It’s at home, Missouri really, really doesn’t do anything on defense, and …

Nah. Mizzou has had two weeks off to rest up from the loss to Texas A&M, the offense should be able to get the passing attack going against the shaky Commodore pass D – it’s the worst in the SEC – and the defense will finally come up with just enough stops to get by.

Oklahoma 35, Kansas 23 Reaction

Any landing you can walk away from is a good one.

It’s a 12-point win on the road in Big 12 play. The rest is just details, but …

Obviously this game was a problem for Oklahoma.

You don’t struggle that much with Kansas and just chalk it up to a flat day at the office. The offense couldn’t score in the first against one of the worst teams in America. The defense got picked clean and needed to be saved by a Heisman-worthy few plays by the freshman quarterback to get out alive.

And yes, Caleb Williams is in the Heisman race. Find anyone who’s supposedly among the favorites who has done anything bigger than 1) tear off a 40-yard touchdown run on fourth down to help take over the game on the road, and 2) have the presence of mind to take the ball away from RB Kennedy Brooks – who was stuffed on fourth down – to grind to a desperately-needed first down.

Williams saved a shockingly disappointing defense that couldn’t handle Jason Bean – a good, veteran quarterback who put up big yards at North Texas and did everything he could to try pulling off the shocker – and he’s apparently going to have to do so as the rest of the season goes on.

Oklahoma’s 35 second half points got the job done, but Kansas outgained the Sooners 412 to 398. The Sooners committed penalty after key penalty, the secondary was seemingly outguessed on every third down, and this was way, way too close for comfort.

It’s now a problem.

OU tried to give away the Tulane game. It tried to give away the Kansas State game. It didn’t get off the bus against Texas until Williams stepped in.

It can’t put together a full 60 minutes without taking a nap during a sizable portion of the game, and that’s not going to fly with Texas Tech, at Baylor, Iowa State, at Oklahoma State, and likely the Big 12 Championship and College Football Playoff still to go.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

New Orleans vs Seattle Game Preview


Why New Orleans Will Win

The week off will work wonders.

It’s not like the team was limping in the bye – it rolled Washington in Week 5 – but getting two weeks to get ready for Geno Smith and not Russell Wilson should make this a whole lot easier.

What’s Seattle doing without Wilson? It’s pounding and trying to pound some more to take the pressure off of Smith. It almost worked in the Sunday night game against Pittsburgh in a physical overtime battle.

The Seahawks catch a break of an extra day, but the Saint defense that’s the best in the league at allowing fewest yards per carry and second overall in run defense should be that much tougher. But …

Week 7 CFN NFL Expert Picks

Why Seattle Will Win

The Seahawks have a few parts back and ready to go for the ground game. Chris Carson might still be out with a neck injury, but Rashaad Penny is back along with Alex Collins from a hamstring injury.

Geno Smith might not be Russell Wilson, but he’s had time to get settled in, it’s his gig now for the next few weeks, and outside of a few key mistakes, he wasn’t bad against Pittsburgh.

For all of the defense’s problems, it’s great on third downs, it’s going against a New Orleans offense with a mediocre passing game, and …

What’s Going To Happen

It’ll come down to who has the better ground attack, and it’ll be New Orleans.

Alvin Kamara should go off on the league’s 30th-ranked rushing D, the Saint defense has only allowed more than 100 yards once, and it’ll be an interesting grind with the rested team overcoming the early boost from the Seahawk crowd.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Indianapolis vs San Francisco Game Preview


Why Indianapolis Will Win

If it wasn’t for that Derrick Henry guy, Jonathan Taylor would be getting all the love as the NFL’s hottest running back. He’s coming off of two 100-yard games in the last three with four touchdowns, a 100-yard receiving day in the one game he didn’t hit the mark on the ground, and he took a pass for a score.

The 49ers have an okay run defense, but it allowed over 100 yards in each of the first four games before holding down Arizona a few weeks ago in a tough 17-10 loss.

Taylor is rolling, the Colt passing attack has been okay, and the defense is taking the ball away in bunches with 12 in the first six games. However …

Week 7 CFN NFL Expert Picks

Why San Francisco Will Win

The 49ers are rested.

The Colts are on their fourth road trip in five weeks, while San Francisco has got a desperately needed early bye week after a rough three-game losing streak.

Indianapolis has been solid against the run – it only allowed one rushing touchdown so far – but the 49er running game has been consistently strong, rooking RB Elijah Mitchell appears to be back and fine after his shoulder injury, and the passing attack should hit on enough shots down the field to matter.

The Colts allow well over seven yards per pass – Deebo Samuel and his 17.7-yard-per-catch average should have a day.

What’s Going To Happen

The time off and the home field will matter.

San Francisco had to deal with Green Bay, Seattle, and Arizona all while banged up. There are plenty of holes and issues to deal with – and Jimmy Garoppolo has to be sharp – but the Colts will start to wear down in the second half.

The 49ers will play like the desperate team they are.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Chicago vs Tampa Bay Game Preview


Why Chicago Will Win

The defense continues to be good enough to win with.

The Bears found a back in Khalil Herbert who could grow into the role – at least until David Montgomery is back – and the offense has been able to crank out 140 yards or more on the ground over the last three games.

Yeah, Tampa Bay is No. 1 in the NFL against the run, but that’s partly because everyone spends so much time throwing against one of the league’s worst pass defenses.

Chicago will run and run some more, and then it’ll rely on the defense that kept Aaron Rodgers to under 170 passing yards and hasn’t allowed a 300-yard day since the opener against the Rams.

Week 7 CFN NFL Expert Picks

Why Tampa Bay Will Win

The Chicago offense goes on the field and it runs plays, but that’s it.

There’s no passing game. Justin Fields should eventually be terrific, but the O isn’t there to take any shots of consequence down the field.

How bad is the Chicago passing attack? It has yet to hit 200 yards. It’s last in the NFL in yards, touchdowns, and yards per attempt. Thats not a positive because …

What’s Going To Happen

Tom Brady is on fire.

He’s going to be hit a bit and won’t have one of his better games, but he won’t need to press anything.

Two early scoring drives will set a tough pace, the Bear running game won’t be able to establish anything consistent, and a great performance by the road D will be wasted.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Houston vs Arizona Game Preview


Why Houston Will Win

Is this somehow a trap?

Arizona is great, Houston isn’t, and it might be a letdown moment for the great side between Cleveland and Green Bay.

Houston’s offense doesn’t work, but the yards are there even if the points aren’t. The ground attack was great in the loss to Indianapolis, the defense hasn’t been bad against the pass, and again, there’s a chance Arizona isn’t locked in considering this should be a layup.

Week 7 CFN NFL Expert Picks

Why Arizona Will Win

Houston doesn’t do that scoring thing the kids are all into.

There were 22 against New England when Davis Mills looked and played like an NFL quarterback, but the team failed to hit ten points in three of the last four games.

Nine points isn’t going to get it done against this Arizona team.

The Cardinals aren’t giving away the big mistakes Houston might need to make this a battle. They don’t need to take any big chances.

Run, keep running against a D that’s giving up well over 100 rushing yards per game without a problem, and get to the Thursday night game against Green Bay as quickly as possible.

What’s Going To Happen

Just when it seems like the Cardinals are about to struggle thanks to covid issues, or a letdown, or a decent road trip, they rise up and play better than expected.

It’s the NFL – those guys on the other side get paid, too – but the Cardinals will get up fast and cruise on in from there. It’ll be the running backs that take over and keep Kyler Murray from having to work too hard.
