Week 6 is in the books. The Western Division race is getting interesting as the Chicago Cardinals are creeping up on the Houston Oilers. The Eastern Division is still a race between the top 3 teams. In week 7 the key games are Houston at Cleveland & Baltimore at Washington. The Green Bay-Chicago Cardinals game could be interesting because a Cardinal win and a Houston loss at Cleveland would pull the Cardinals into a tie for 3rd place in the West. Baltimore will play their first game against a team with a winning record when they tangle with the Redskins. I predict a Washington win with the result being the Redskins take over 1st place in the East. The Giants at the Titans could be an upset because the Titans are playing very well right now, but the way the Giants destroyed the Yanks, I don't know about this one. The real stink bomb of week 7 will be Dallas at Detroit. This game will determine, at least for now, which is the worst team in the West if not the whole league.
Looking ahead to the end of the season, the playoff structure in each division is 3rd place team plays at 2nd place team and the winner plays at number 1. The West champ will play at the East Champ for the NFL title. That's why 3rd place is important in divisional play.
Action shots of individual games will follow.
