Week 7 Rankings: Defense/Special Teams Units

Is it just me or are defenses damn thin this week?

Rank	D/ST	Opp	Comments
1	49ers	SEA	I have no faith in Russell Wilson, I don't care how many pretend "clutch" performances he rattles off.
2	Bears	DET	They score more points than a few offenses and Stafford the gunslinger (who I think will have a great week) will throw picks.
3	Packers	@STL	I'm not buying into this receiver-less offense with an aging "power" back who always looks like he's running uphill.
4	Cardinals	@MIN	There's just too many playmakers on the defense to ignore. Rookie QB plus Peterson's ailing.
5	Vikings	ARI	While I won't enjoy it, the Vikes will probably have anywhere from 7-32 sacks on Sunday.
6	Seahawks	@SF	Face it, the Niners will run a ton and they won't put up too many points.
7	Steelers	@CIN	Dalton gets sacked a lot and is prone to throwing picks.
8	Cowboys	@CAR	Newton is slumping to say the least and while he is dangerous, they won't score too much.
9	Texans	BAL	Flacco plays terribly on the road and if they contain Rice, that'll work in Houston's benefit.
10	Patriots	NYJ	I know, they made Russell Wilson look competent. But the Jets might play Tebow at RB. Come on.
11	Giants	WSH	That front 7 has to show up sometime and with all the trash talk from the G-Men, it better be this week.
12	Ravens	@HOU	Maybe they pull off an uber-inspired performance in Ray Lewis's honor. Scary matchup though.
13	Raiders	JAC	"Why are the Raiders this high?" you may ask. Well, A) Bye Week From Hell. B) It's the Jaguars.
14	Lions	@CHI	If they can minimize Marshall, Cutler may transform into the turnover machine he's become before.
15	Browns	@IND	This defense isn't that terrible and Luck still has no O-line.
16	Panthers	DAL	Felix Jones has fumble issues and Romo has had interception issues.
17	Bengals	PIT	They may rope in a few sacks and with a diminishing run game, Big Ben could force some throws.
18	Colts	CLE	They're not great but we'll have to see which Weeden shows up.
19	Rams	GB	If you're feeling risky, they'll certainly rattle off a few sacks.
20	Jets	@NE	In Foxboro, maybe a few sacks and a magical-Tom-Brady-intentional-grounding-safety is all they get.
21	Jaguars	@OAK	Palmer sometimes enjoys frequenting turnoverland.
22	Bills	TEN	I'm expecting a high-scoring game between the two of these literally defenseless teams.
23	Titans	@BUF	See above.
24	Redskins	@NYG	The defense isn't great and Eli's going to tear up the secondary.
25	Buccaneers	NO	This is going to be a shootout. Don't bother.
26	Saints	@TB	This is going to be a shootout. Don't bother. I don't know why you would anyway.
