NFL Week 8 Picks


Well I didn't wake up early enough to make a pick for the Lions Falcons game in London. That's probably a good thing because I didn't have the Falcons winning. I love London football again. Need a team over there pronto.

Overall: 57-46  Spread: 15-14-1

Chiefs 27, Rams 21 --- STL +7 Both teams are off an upset victory. I don't believe that the Rams are a very good team but I think the Chiefs are pretty decent. I'll take them at home but it could be a close one.

Texans 30, Titans 21 --- It's the start of the Zach Mettenberger era in Tennessee. Unfortunately for the rookie quarterback he will be introduced to J.J. Watt today. He doesn't run and he doesn't leave the pocket. The Texans get the win.

Bucs 17, Vikings 14 --- Three games into the Teddy Bridgewater era, the Vikings are 1-2 and Teddy has five interceptions to only one touchdown. The Bucs are 0-3 at home but they are off their bye. I'll give the edge to Tampa.

Seahawks 31, Panthers 24 --- I won't give out anymore Seahawks spreads because they embarrassed me last week when I said they'd crush the Rams. I'll pick them again because I still think they are a very good team and the Panthers defense has been brutal in recent weeks.

Ravens 27, Bengals 24 --- The Bengals shutdown the Ravens and Joe Flaccccooo in week one. Since then the Bengals were being hailed as the best team in the AFC and the Ravens dealt with a bit of a controversy. Now the Bengals are turning into the Bungals again and the Ravens are 5-2. I'll take the Ravens to win and take control of the AFC North.

Dolphins 26, Jaguars 17 --- I think I am actually to going to get a Dolphins pick correct today. They have to go into Jacksonville and get a win. The Phins should be able to force a few Blake Bortles interceptions and get the victory.

Patriots 30, Bears 20 --- NE -6.5 Jay Cutler has played against the Patriots twice in his career. He has lost both of those games by 34 and 29. Brian Urlacher called him out this week. The Bears are fighting with each other. The Patriots are 3-0 at home and haven't played since last Thursday. I'll take the Patriots to improve to 6-2.

Jets 24, Bills 20 --- NYJ -3 At 1-6 the Jets playoff chances are pretty much over but they aren't that bad of a team. Their six game losing streak was against good, if not great, competition. Packers, Bears, Lions, Chargers, Broncos, and Patriots. Should they have gotten a win or two? Sure but they aren't what their record says they are. I think they get the win today over the Bills at home.

Cardinals 27, Eagles 24 --- I'm starting to believe that the Cardinals are the real deal. They have only thrown one interception this year. That's right a team with Carson Palmer playing quarterback has thrown one INT in six games. I'll take the Cardinals because I think they have the ability to shut down Shady McCoy. As long as they can put up enough points they could be the team that gets to 6-1.

Browns 24, Raiders 20 --- The Browns are in danger of becoming the Brownies again. They lost to Jacksonville last week, they couldn't possibly lose again this week to the 0-6 Raiders. If they do though I'm proclaiming it time for Johhny Football to play.

Colts 27, Steelers 24 --- PIT +4 I really think the Steelers might win this game. I'll take the Colts but I have a feeling the Steelers are going to play well today. I could be dead wrong and Andrew Luck shreds the Steelers poor secondary but if the Steelers win, I'm taking credit for it so it's a win/win situation for me now.

Saints 34, Packers 31 --- The Saints absolutely need to win this game. Despite being at 2-4, they are still right in the hunt for the NFC South crown. They are 2-0 at home and always play better in the dome. Aaron Rodgers has been great and could put up a ton of points against the Saints but I think Drew BREEEEESSSS will play well tonight.

Cowboys 28, Redskins 17 --- Good for Colt McCoy getting another opportunity to play in the NFL again. Too bad for him he's playing in Jerry World on Monday night. DeMarco Murray will probably rush for 100 yards again. The Redskins aren't too good and the Cowboys are.

Enjoy the games people.
