The NFL Roundup Week 7 - The Most Fascinating Games to Watch on Sunday

Every single week in the NFL this season has managed to impress with some incredible games that are either mired in controversy or they simply happen to be spectacular through and through. In fact, even the bucket bowl games have managed to stay competitive leaving some tough choices for all of us when the time comes to decide what to watch on Sunday.

This week should be no exception. Sure on paper the schedule looks a little lopsided with some winning teams taking on ones that are struggling, but if the last six weeks have taught us anything, it's that we should expect the unexpected and here the games that have us fascinated come tomorrow.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS AT KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Scotty's Take
Why would I want to watch this game you may ask? I am dying to see Mike Vick win a game again and take the starting quarterback job from Ben Roethlisberger.  Will this happen….ah no.  In fact after what happened last week, I might not see Mike Vick play again after seeing his knee turn the wrong way.  And next on the list of Quarterbacks is Landry Jones.  So if there is no Vick, then it should be Jones’ turn to take the helm against a defeated Chiefs team that cannot seem to make their season turn around.  Losing their leading rusher Jamaal Charles, they now have Charcandrick West taking over.  It will be interesting to see what these offensenses will be able to do in the game and I can see a ton of three and outs.  I am truly thinking that the last team that has the ball will win the game, but it will probably come down to a special teams play like all of these games wind up doing.

OAKLAND RAIDERS AT SAN DIEGO CHARGERS

Scotty's Take
What better way to take a break from watching the Broncos play than to see two division rivals beating the heck out of each other. Do I care who wins this game? Not really, I just want to see who will be batting for the lead in the West while looking up at the Donkies.  I don’t know what happened to the Chargers in the offseason, but they are looking like a team that would rather lose and look good doing it, rather than get down and dirty to win a game.  Change in coaching, change in culture? Who knows, all of the key players are there, they just do not look like they care to be.  The Raiders on the other hand look like a competitive team this season.  The last two games that they lost was by a combined 8 points.  They just need to get a little more production out the offense and Derek Carr has the arm, he just needs to trust a little bit more in his receivers heading downfield and give them some extra opportunities.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS AT WASHINGTON REDSKINS

John's Take
So, you're probably wondering why on earth I would consider a pair of losing teams going head to head as a fascinating game? The answer to that is simple, the quarterbacks. We are looking at two that continue to intrigue when it comes to this sport because of how fickle they are. On one end we have Jameis Winston, the man who Tampa Bay is hoping will finally turn the franchise around and on the other we have Kirk Cousins, where Washington is hoping he can do just enough to help everyone forget about the joke that is RG3. The only problem is...neither has shown us a whole lot. They both have the skills to make it in the NFL, they simple struggle with bad decisions and poor reads of defenses. What really has me fascinated by this game is the fact that Cousins is actually working to be better and Winston looks like a deer lost in headlights and whichever QB finally decides to settle down and play fundamentally sound wins the game and gets a little of the heat off of their backs.

NEW YORK JETS AT NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

John's Take
This is probably another head scratcher since let's be honest, there is a fair chance that Tom Brady is going to carve up the Jets defense like a roast and score a ton of points on them...but there is also a chance that New England might lose and the Jets are the most qualified team to make that happen. Truly they have been off the radar for a better part of the year, because they aren't doing anything flashy, but they keep winning and they're doing it with a steady offense and a stout defense. Plus, as I mentioned the other day, they have Darrelle Revis. He spent a year playing with Brady, he knows how the man thinks and works and you know that knowledge is being shared with the rest of the New York defense. Will New England win? Most likely, they're terrifying on the field right now. But don't be shocked if the Jets slow them down...or pull off the upset and send the Pats home with a loss.
