PA Pigskin Picks: Week 7 Published Oct. 22, 2009 By The "Football Czar" Public Affairs DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. -- Congratulations to Maj. Alexander DeGracia, the Pigskin Expert of Week 6. This was a very close week, with an average of four games lost. Three participants tied with 10 winning games, but only one, Major DeGracia was close to matching the score of the Philadelphia and Oakland game. Now, it's no mercy. On Sunday the New England Patriots beat the Tennessee Titans 59 -0. The Patriots are now 4-2 and the Titans move to 0-6. Patriots QB Tom Brady completed 29 of his 34 passes for 380 yards and six touchdowns. Five of the six touchdowns were in the 2nd quarter. The Titans even failed to stop rookie QB Brain Hoyer. Hoyer completed 9 of his 11 passes for 52 yards. He capped the drive by scoring on a 1-yard run. The Titans lost their last three games by 20, 22, and 59 points. Last year the Titans had the NFL's best record at 13-3. This is the worst start in team history. Tennessee had five turnovers, two interceptions and three fumbles. Coach Fisher has supported QB Kerry Collins, who completed 2 of his 12 pass attempts for minus seven yards. Vince Young replaced Collins and threw an interception on his first play. His only other pass attempt was incomplete. Maybe the Titans can use their upcoming bye week to regroup. The Atlanta Falcons move to 4-1 by hold off the Chicago Bears Sunday night by the score of 21-14. Matt Ryan completed 19 of his 33 pass attempts for 185 yards, 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Michael Turner scored the game winning touchdown with 3:06 left in the game. Chicago marched the ball down the field and had a chance to win with 29 seconds left in the game. A false start penalty moved the ball from fourth down and 1 to fourth down and 6. Jay Cutler's last pass bounced of Desmond Clark's arms. This week, the Falcons will travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys. As always, don't forget to turn in your week 7 entry form by Friday, Oct. 23 at 4:30 p.m.
