Auntie Em! Auntie Em! I had this dream that my dog Totaled and I were swept away by this NawFuL storm and deposited in a meadow of green grass surrounded by 70,000 screaming lunatics and a bunch of munchkin-like creatures on steroids in uniforms. I said to Totaled that I didn't think we were in Kansas anymore, but the wicked witch of the AFC West assured me that I was, in fact, in Kansas City.

I kept saying there was no place like home... no place like home... but then the Great and Powerful Oz used his magical foot to silence the lunatics and then I realized it was all just a dream and that...

Sorry to burst your bubble, Dorothy, but it wasn't a dream at all; it was the Chiefs choking away another victory at the hands of the Broncos. If they'd only had a brain they might have asked the Wizard for a defense and avoided the OT, which proved their undoing.

The Denver victory helped Sean find the pot of gold at the end of Week 7's rainbow, as he took two out of three splits from Glenn to earn his first lead of the 2002 Gehlke Bros. picks season. Sean and Ben tied for the week's best record at 9-5, while Glenn needed a little courage to stomach his 8-6 finish.

We were all correct with our picks of Atlanta, St. Louis, Cleveland, Arizona and Green Bay, but we all had the proverbial house dropped on us with the losses by Miami, Chicago and Oakland. Ben, meanwhile, continues to skip along the Yellow Brick Road with a three-game lead over his Uncle Sean.

We couldn't finish the week's analysis without some discussion of the Lions, tigers and Bears. The lowly Lions defeated the Bears in the Silverdome, while the tigers (aka the Bengals) managed to give their winless streak a break thanks to Glinda the Good Schedule Maker giving them a bye week.

And on that note, we'll say goodbye until next week as well.
