#283: 2021 Week 7 NFL Preview (with Hal Bent)

1. Week 6 Takeaways -Me: Cardinals remove all doubt that they’re serious Super Bowl contenders, Ravens look even more dangerous than they did in 2019, Broncos look like they have quit on Vic Fangio a la the Bears and Marc Trestman in 2014 -Hal: Dak Prescott making a push for MVP, Carolina just not the same without Christian McCaffrey, Sam Darnold turning back into a pumpkin, Bengals are legit 2. Truth or Exaggeration -Mike McCarthy will prevent this Cowboys team from reaching the Super Bowl -After holding Washington to less than 5 yards per pass attempt, the Chiefs have turned the corner on defense -Derrick Henry is already a lock to get enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame -Carson Wentz is well on his way to regaining his 2017 MVP form -Barring a miraculous turnaround these next two weeks, the Broncos should trade Von Miller by the November 2 deadline -The Cardinals offense is only about to get more dangerous with the addition of Zach Ertz, who will end up being an upgrade over the injured Maxx Williams -The AFC North is making a serious push to be considered the best division in football 3. Bengals at Ravens Preview -How underrated is this Bengals defense? -How much more dangerous does Rashod Bateman make this Ravens offense? -Key matchups and picks 4. Chiefs at Titans Preview -Which defense do you trust more at this time: the Chiefs or the Titans?         -If either one of Julio Jones or A.J. Brown misses this game, how big of a hit do the Titans chances of winning this game take?         -Key matchups and picks 5. Picks for all other Week 7 Games        -Broncos at Browns        -Washington at Packers        -Falcons at Dolphins        -Jets at Patriots        -Panthers at Giants          -Eagles at Raiders        -Lions at Rams        -Texans at Cardinals        -Bears at Buccaneers        -Colts at 49ers        -Saints at Seahawks 6.
