NFL Week 7 picks: Chiefs win Super Bowl rematch vs. 49ers, Vikings edge Lions, Texans shock Packers

I have been known to exaggerate, but I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that Week 7 has the potential to go down as the best week in NFL history. 

The week kicks off with Sean Payton returning to New Orleans on Thursday, and then we get the 5-0 Vikings playing the 4-1 Lions on Sunday night. Great decision by the NFL to put that game in prime time. Actually, hold on, I’ve just been informed that Lions-Vikings is NOT the Sunday night game. 

Obviously, Chiefs-49ers is the Sunday night game because putting a Super Bowl rematch in that slot is the only thing that makes sense this week.OK, I don’t know how to tell you guys this, but I’m wrong again. 

You know what, I don’t even care what the Sunday night game is this week. I watched Bengals-Giants last week, so at this point, it’s pretty clear I’ll watch anything. And when I say anything, I mean that I might even wake up early to watch the Jaguars play the Patriots in London. 

Anyway, let’s get to the picks, starting with the London game.

Players are apparently already quitting on the team. We’re not even halfway through the season and Jaguars players are already starting to give up. One player said he noticed a lot of quit on the field during the team’s 35-16 loss to the Bears in London. Doug Pederson says the team needs a culture change. “We’ve got to change. I say ‘we;’ it’s all of us: coaches, players, everybody. We’ve got to change right now that culture,” Pederson said after the loss to the…
