Sports: NFL Picks, Week 8

Hmmm, 8-6 last week. It looked like I would do quite well until the late games, with Oakland inexplicably spanking the Broncos, Favre choking in his return to Lambeau, and Romo getting his collarbone broken (a double whammy since he was my fantasy QB). Other than that, it was actually a pretty predictable NFL week (except for the Saints getting blown out by CLEVELAND). Even without having both of their starting QBs go down to injury, I think it's time to give up on two talented teams that have been bad (Dallas and San Francisco). Here we go again.

Miami at Cincinnati: Miami, 27-17
Two iffy quarterbacks... but my Miami has a better defense and running game.

Jacksonville at Dallas: Dallas, 24-23
Why do I keep picking Dallas? Well, this week they're playing the lousy Jaguars. This one completely depends on how the 'Boys respond to losing Romo for the season.

Washington at Detroit: Detroit, 30-20
Detroit has looked good at home this year, and Washington just isn't all that great anyway.

Buffalo at Kansas City: Kansas City, 42-38
The Bills have shown that they can actually put some point up, but their run defense sucks and running is the Chiefs' specialty.

Carolina at St. Louis: St. Louis, 28-20
The Rams are another team much better at home, and Carolina is stinky.

Green Bay at NY Jets: NY Jets, 24-17
After so much preseason hype, the Jets seem to be flying under the radar, but they've developed that key winning edge I think.

Denver "at" San Francisco: Denver, 35-21
This is "at" SF because it's actually going to be in London (only a few thousand miles away). Denver should be mad and embarrassed after last week's game.

Tennessee at San Diego: San Diego, 21-20
This should be a great one. SD's picking up steam, losing to TTSNBN due to typical ref favoritism. Tennessee is looking great to, and would be even better if CJ2K could FINALLY get some consistency (*hint hint nudge nudge*)

Tampa Bay at Arizona: Tampa Bay, 13-10
Arizona's QB situation continues to be disastrous, while TB at least has a steady QB if not a stellar one.

Minnesota at TTSNBN: TTSNBN, x-x
Hmmm, how many more favorable calls are we getting this week, TTSNBN? I hope Moss torches you.

Seattle at Oakland: Oakland, 20-10
Holy crap! Oakland scored more points last week than it did all of last season.

Pittsburgh at New Orleans: Pittsburgh, 31-21
If the Browns can dominate the Saints on their home turf, what do you think will happen when the Steel Curtain comes to town?

Houston at Indianapolis: Indianapolis, 34-24
I'm sure the Colts are licking their lips for some sweet revenge here. Having had time to work on a strategy for Arian Foster, and working against an exposed Texans' defense, they'll get it.

2010 Picks: 60-44
