Week 8 Picks

Arizona at Dallas
The Cardinals and McCown look will look for the win after serving their bye but the Cowboys will look to rebound after a very disappointing lost last week. Look for Marion Barber to have a good game and another 100yd receiving game from Fitz. However I think the Cowboys will blow this one away in front of their home crowd
My Pick - Cowboys

Chicago at Detroit
Detriot looked horrible against the Browns last week as did the Bears against Baltimore. This has all the ingredients to be a boring game. A rookie QB and a has been QB with talent that doesn't know how to be used. Most of the time you'd give the home team the nod but I think the Bears will win.
My Pick - Bears

Cleveland at Houston
Well I guess if we are going to have some horrible games we might as well put them all in on one Sunday. Cleveland might as well be winless and well.. The Texans are. I think Houston's offense is better and they are home.
My Pick - Texans

Green Bay at Bengals
Cincinnati had it rought against the Steelers last week but they'll have the red carpet against the Packers. Green Bay as a team might as well be on the IR. Favre will be 1-6 for the first time in his career after this week.
My Pick - Bengals

Jacksonville at St Louis
The Rams have a chance to go into the bye week with a 500 record but first they have to stop the Jaguars. The elite WRs of the Rams might make an appearance but Bulger will still be out. Jacksonville is tough but I think the rams will pull out a must needed win.
My Pick - Rams

Miami at New Orleans
You mean.. Miami at Baton Rouge the old home of the Dolphin's rookie coach. Coach Saban has had proven success in Baton Rouge but it was under LSU and not the pro team Dolphins. Same game different atmosphere. Gus's numbers have slowly declined while definitely not meeting expectations. The Duece is out for the season for the Saints and Joe Horn has a nagging hammy. I think we'll see Ricky Williams of the old this week giving the Dolphins a road victory.
My Pick - Miami

Minnesota at Carolina
Can the Vikings win two in a row? Can Daunte have another decent week? Is Carolina as good as they appear? Lots of questions I feel will be answered this week but I'll go ahead and answer on of them for you. Yes.. The Panthers are as good as they appear.
My Pick - Carolina

Oakland at Tennessee
When these two teams meet it normally means an offensive all you can eat buffett. Titan fans would probably actually like to see Volek at the wheel because he's posted VERY good numbers against Oaktown. But the Titans will have to stop Lamont Jordan and then stop Randy Moss. I just don't see that happening. The Raiders will win in a high scoring affair.
My Pick - Raiders

Washington at Giants
This is a game I'd rather not pick. I'm still not convinced fully of either team. The Giants shouldn't have won last week and Washington can only beat weaker teams. I think the Giants will be playing an emotional game via the death of Wellingon Mara. Giants will win.
My Pick - Giants

K.C. at San Diego
Look out Chiefs. Tomlinson has a lot of running to do since he wasn't able to do it last week. This is actually the game of the week for me. We've got probably the two best running backs of the NFL (Holmes and LaDanian) and the two best tight ends (Gates and Gonzalez). The way I figure… you'll see two rushing touchdowns by each back and one receiving touchdown for each tight end. This will be a high scoring game.
My Pick - Chargers

Philadelphia at Denver
Denver had an embarrasing lost to the Giants after being up 17-0. The Eagles offense has been MIA. Has anyone seen T.O.? I think he'll make an apperance at Mile High.
My Pick - Eagles

Tampa Bay at San Francisco
The Cadilac is fresh with dice in the mirror. Without having the stats in front of me I think the 49ers are almost last in the league against the rush. Buckle your belts cause Williams will rush for 200+ yds.
My Pick - Tampa Bay

Buffalo at New England
Brady is having one of his best seaons so far but it's just not showing in the teams record. Their defense gets a spiritual lift with the return of Teddy but it's really not needed as the Patriots will win convincly against the Bills.
My Pick - Patriots

MNF
Baltimore at Pittsburgh

It ain't gonna be right to be Wright this week. Big Ben and the Stealers will roll over the Ravens in an easy win.
My pick - Pittsburgh
