It's time for Week 7 of the NFL season! We're really starting to separate the great from the good and the good from the bad. This is going to be an important week of football. This week we have some big boy matchups that could shows us who's for real and who's pretending to be real. 

First there's the 5-1 Miami Dolphins taking on the 5-1 Philadelphia Eagles in what could potentially be a Super Bowl preview. The Dolphins have a high powered offense and the Eagles have a scary defense. This one is going to be fun and it's happening in primetime on Sunday night. Can't wait. 

Then there's the Detroit Lions vs the Baltimore Ravens. Two of the best defenses in the league going one on one. It's going to be battle. Lastly there's a battle of the backups. Aidan O'Connel and the Las Vegas Raiders vs Tyson Bagent and the Chicago Bears. You might think I'm crazy for having this here, but I find these types of games fun. Both these guys want to show what they can do and they're going to give it all they got. That could make for either really fun football or hilarious football. It's entertaining either way. I think it goes the former way though. 

We're still waiting for a back to back champion. Maybe Cowboys beat writer Mauricio Rodriguez can be the guy again this week. Here's our Week 7 picks.
