NFL Week 8 Picks

By Todd Welter

Only missed three games last week.  I am 69-33 overall on the season. Here are my picks for this Sunday (picks in bold)...

Houston at Buffalo
-I still got this feeling that this is the Texans' year to actually sniff the playoffs. Didn't say make, just sniff.

Cleveland at Chicago
-If Jay Cutler throws three picks, then the Bears are in real trouble.

Seattle at Dallas
-Dallas wins another game towards giving everyone false hope that they will make the playoffs.

St. Louis at Detroit
-Want to punish your children for not picking up their toys? Threaten to make them watch this game.

Denver at Baltimore
-
No way Denver stays undefeated. If they do, I will buy a Kyle Orton jersey.

San Francisco at Indianapolis
-The Colts down another team on their way to the Super Bowl.

Miami at NY Jets
-You never know what you are going to get with the Dolphins. Then again, you never know what you are going to get with Mark Sanchez. So I will go with the wildcat in this one.

NY Giants at Philadelphia
-Really just flipped a coin and it came up Giants. Yes, I do have coin with an Eagles logo on one side and a Giants logo on the other.

Jacksonville at Tennessee
-
About time the Titans start Vince Young. He will make Jeff Fisher feel like a winner after the game.

Oakland at San Diego
-This game should be over by the second quarter.

Carolina at Arizona
-
Cardinals are showing they are not going to be a one year wonder.

Minnesota at Green Bay
-I see the game playing out like this. The Packers lead 24-20 late in the fourth. Brett Favre leads a touchdown drive as the Vikings go ahead 27-24. With a minute left on the clock, Aaron Rodgers leads a mad scramble down the field and completes a last second touchdown pass to Donald Driver and the Packers win 31-27.

MON, NOV 2
Atlanta at New Orleans
-I am convinced no one can stop Drew Brees.
