Famous in our own minds: Pick 'em week 7

🎯 The Cavalier Connection Pick’em — Week 7 Edition 🎯

“Famous in Our Own Minds” rolls on…

The boys are heating up as we roll into Week 7. Jay and Jack both went 2–1 last week while Jeff stumbled to 1–2, giving Jay a little more breathing room at the top. Updated standings:

🏆 Jay: 10–8

🥈 Jeff: 8–10

🥉 Jack: 7–11 — finally within striking distance of Pops.

Jay’s Picks

The leader’s feeling good and mixing logic, gut instinct, and a touch of sarcasm.

• Washington at Dallas — Under 55.5
  
  We expect points — lots of them. JD5, Dak Prescott, and a returning CeeDee Lamb are too explosive for a snoozer. But 56? That’s a mountain. Think fireworks, not a Fourth of July finale. Jay’s banking on touchdowns, a couple field goals, and just enough clock-draining drives to keep it under.
  
  

• Atlanta at San Francisco — Under 47.5
  
  The Falcons’ defense is legit, and Penix Jr., now in his second year, keeps things steady but not spectacular. Two disciplined defenses, one controlled tempo, and not enough juice to crack 47.
  
  

• New England -6.5 at Tennessee
  
  Mike Vrabel revenge game. Tennessee’s offense is a train wreck, Drake Maye looks like a young All-Pro, and 6.5 feels light. Pats roll.
  
  

Jeff’s Picks

Jeff’s going back to his comfort zone — bad weather, bad offenses, and bad decisions.

• Eagles at Vikings — Under 43.5
  
  The Eagles’ offensive identity is still TBD, and a Carson Wentz revenge game isn’t saving the day. Expect punts, pressure, and pain.
  
  

• Cleveland -2.5 over Miami
  
  Miami’s track team heads north into 30+ mph winds and rain — not ideal for Tua or De’Von Achane. The Dolphins’ D is soft enough that even Dillon Gabriel can move the ball. Browns handle business.
  
  

• Giants +7 at Denver
  
  Dart and Skatebo are flying high after doubling up the defending champs. The rookies ride that wave to another cover.
  
  

Jack’s Picks

Jack’s not backing down — especially when it means fading his old man.

• Miami +2.5 at Cleveland
  
  Jeff says the weather wins. Jack says the Dolphins do. He’s taking Tua and Achane to fight through the storm and get it done.
  
  

• Eagles -1.5 over Vikings
  
  Philly rights the ship. Too much talent, too much push — the Toosh Push, that is.
  
  

• Patriots at Titans — Under 42.5
  
  New coach, same offensive misery. Expect punts, penalties, and pain.
  
  

Week 7 is here — the picks are locked, the banter’s flying, and the leaderboard’s tightening. We’re still famous in our own minds, and that’s all that matters. 🏈🔥
