As we head into Week 7, I’ve finally figured out why the NFL has been so unpredictable this year and it’s because every team is completely average. No one is good. No one is bad. Everyone is average.
OK, not everyone. The Eagles are good, the Bills are good, the Chiefs are good and I’ll even give you the Vikings, but that’s it. I’d include the Giants, but they fall behind by double-digits in nearly every game they play and although they’re 5-1 right now, falling behind by double-digits every week doesn’t seem like a long-term strategy for winning. I’d also give you the Chargers, but any team that lost by 28 points to the Jaguars can’t be on my “good” list.
If you look at the NFL standings right now, you will notice that the NFC East has more teams with a winning record (3) than the other three NFC divisions COMBINED (1).
In the AFC, the Cleveland Browns have gone an ENTIRE MONTH without picking up a single win and they’re still somehow only one game out of first place. That is the NFL in a nutshell this year: Everyone is average.
Speaking of average, let’s get to my picks.

On a completely unrelated note, if you’re like me and you like signing up for random things on the internet, then I would highly suggest that you sign up for CBSSports.com’s NFL newsletter, which I’m actually in charge of.
If you want to subscribe, all you have to do is click here and enter your email address. Once you do that, you’ll start receiving a daily NFL email from me and I promise it will be all NFL content and won’t include any commentary on old episodes of “Gilmore Girls.” I have a different newsletter for that.
Since I’m now running a newsletter, you might be thinking that I’ll be way too busy to podcast, but nope, I’m never too busy to podcast.
For the rest of the season, I’ll be joining Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson four days per week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday) on the Pick Six Podcast, which is our daily NFL podcast here at CBSSports.com. You can watch/listen to Tuesday’s episode by clicking here. The reason you’re going to want to check it out is because we spent half the podcast debating whether Russell Wilson is washed up or not.
If you’re thinking I should spend less time podcasting and more…
