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

Sports Krunch w/DKROM

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

-How underrated is this Bengals defense?

-How much more dangerous does Rashod Bateman make this Ravens offense?

6. Bold Predictions

-DKrom: Case Keenum throws for 340 yards and 3 TD’s…and the Browns defense totals 10 sacks…6 of them by Myles Garrett

7. Challenge Flags

-DKrom: Miami Dolphins, make sure you have a backup plan in case Deshaun Watson is either put on the Commissioner’s Exempt List or worse, convicted

-Hal: Bottom-five teams…either start winning or accumulating more draft capital
