Greg Cote's Week 7 NFL picks

We were an unacceptable 7-7 straight up last week and a somewhat more palatable 7-7 against the spread, fueled by a trio of dogs-with-points in covers by Broncos over Pats, Eagles over Ravens and 49ers over Rams. This perfectly describes my tough week overall: I pick Texans to beat Titans outright as my Upset of the Week. Texans lead by seven. Titans tie it with four seconds left then win in overtime. I don't complain much because bounces and breaks go both ways, but that was tough, going from "Aawwk!" to aww. Nevertheless! We bounce back big is what we do, so let's go! (Note: Thursday night pick was At Eagles (-4 1/2) over Giants, 31-17.)
