Week Eight Picks

Last week: 6-8, Ugh the Bronco's ruined my chance at another .500% week
Season to date: 45-55-3, I lost a little more ground and need some big weeks now.

Oakland @ Baltimore (-7): The west coast teams will remain winless when traveling to the east coast for a 1pm game. I'm not sold on the Ravens, but they will move to 4-3.

Arizona @ Carolina (-4): Again, a west coast team traveling east, and the Panthers are a good team. I think they will grab a late touchdown to win this one.

Tampa Bay @ Dallas: I can't find a spread for this anywhere but I think the Cowboys will circle the wagons and get a much needed victory.

Washington (-9) @ Detroit: The Redskins are due for a dominant performance and what better candidate to be on the receiving of that than the Lions.

Buffalo @ Miami (+1): I'm breaking from tradition and picking the Dolphins this week. They will turn things around and take advantage of a Buffalo team looking ahead to a home date with the Jets.

St. Louis @ New England (-7): it is very hard to win three in a row in this league, especially if you are not a top team. The Patriots will roll at home once again.

San Diego (-3) @ New Orleans: This year's London match up is definitely more intriguing then last year's. Both teams can't afford to lose. The Saints haven't won on the road, and that trend will continue.

Kansas City @ New York Jets (-13): The bipolar Jets will probably step it up and look like a playoff team this week, after losing in Oakland the previous one. The Chiefs are still in bad shape.

Atlanta (+9) @ Philadelphia: i don't know why but I think the Falcons will keep playing well. The Eagles will start slow following a bye week but they will win it late.

Cleveland @ Jacksonville (-7): The Jaguars are rested up after a bye while the Browns are playing their second consecutive game on the road. This one should be pretty simple.

Cincinnati @ Houston (-9.5): I can't bring myself to picking a team with Ryan Fitzpatrick as it's quarterback anymore. The Texans benefit from a soft schedule stretch.

New York Giants (+3) @ Pittsburgh: The Giants didn't show up for their last road game but they will get back on track by beating an overrated Steelers team.

Seattle @ San Francisco (-5): I respect Mike Singletary and he will have his players ready to play and take a step in the right direction. The Seahawks meanwhile are falling fast.

Indianapolis (+4) @ Tennessee: I like the Colts in an AFC South upset. They realize it is a huge opportunity to get back in the division race and if they lose, they'll be fighting for a wild card instead.
