Week 8 NFL Picks

Well I now have an overall record of 61-46 this NFL season.  Let’s start with an NFC South division clash.

Panthers at Buccaneers

(3-3-0)

Panthers

(0-6-0)

Buccaneers

As good as Tampa was against Atlanta I still can’t pick an 0-6 team to beat Cam Newton.  Sorry!

My Pick:  Panthers

49ers at Jaguars

(5-2-0)

49ers

(0-7-0)

Jaguars

Jaguars on pace to become worst team since the 2008 Detroit Lions.

My Pick:  49ers

I don’t wish that on anyone, but it’s still kind of funny that happened.

Browns at Chiefs

(3-4-0)

Browns

(7-0-0)

Chiefs

Kansas City has got to be by far the worst 7-0 team I’ve ever seen.  Expect their perfect run to continue though as their cupcake schedule hands them another easy win.

My Pick:  Chiefs

Dolphins at Patriots

(3-3-0)

Dolphins

(5-2-0)

Patriots

As much fun as it was to watch them lose on Sunday expect New England to revert back to its winning ways.  Miami should cover the spread though, so this one could be interesting.

My Pick:  Patriots

Bills at Saints

(3-4-0)

Bills

(5-1-0)

Saints

This time the Bills try to set up the bounties.

My Pick:  Saints

Cowboys at Lions

(4-3-0)

Cowboys

(4-3-0)

Lions

Could go either way, but I still remember the 2011 contest that Romo blew against Detroit.  Again I hate to be cliché, but…

My Pick:  Lions

Giants at Eagles

(1-6-0)

Giants

(3-4-0)

Eagles

Well whoop-de-do the Giants finally got a win.  I don’t expect that trend to continue against the Eagles though since Michael Vick is coming back this week.  Philadelphia gets back into the division race.

My Pick:  Eagles

Steelers at Raiders

(2-4-0)

Steelers

(2-4-0)

Raiders

I was expecting one of these teams to be 2-4, not both of them.  As funny as it is to see both of them struggle, I’ve got to go with Pittsburgh on this one.  They may have just found their winning ways…blech!

My Pick:  Steelers

Jets at Bengals

(4-3-0)

Jets

(5-2-0)

Bengals

I am still winless picking the Jets this season.  As good as they looked against New England, they should come down to Earth against a good Bengals team.

My Pick:  Bengals

I think I just jinxed myself.

Falcons at Cardinals

(2-4-0)

Falcons

(3-4-0)

Cardinals

Atlanta may have just gotten their act together with that win over Tampa last week.  Arizona hasn’t looked too good, and this looks like another chance to recuperate.

My Pick:  Falcons

Redskins at Broncos

(2-4-0)

Redskins

(6-1-0)

Broncos

Great matchup, but despite that win against Chicago last week I still need to go with Denver in this one.  They are almost unstoppable at home.

My Pick:  Broncos

Packers at Vikings

(4-2-0)

Packers

(1-5-0)

Vikings

If Freeman plays the way he did against the Giants this one will be over by the 1st quarter.  It will, but with Christian Ponder the Vikings might have more of a chance.

My Pick:  Packers

Seahawks at Rams

(6-1-0)

Seahawks

(3-4-0)

Rams

Well Sidney Rice is on my fantasy team, time to start him.

My Pick:  Seahawks

Stay classy everyone.

Ravens, Chargers, Titans, Texans, Colts, and Bears all have byes.

HOHOHO!
