Six In The Hole.....But, I'm Still Hopeful! NFL Week 8 Picks

By
Real Estate Agent

This weekend's picks are going to upset some of my ActiveRain siblings. Forgive me in advance.

However, this might be good news for your teams. With that.....No More Words! Just Picks!

Buffalo -1.5 at Miami - Sorry Jeannette Neerpat! I've been on the Bills Bandwagon since August. My seat is comfortable and convenient. There's no need to exit this ride on Week 8.

Tampa Bay +2 at Dallas - Attention Richard Weeks! Your team is a M.E.S.S.! Monty Kiffin did not disappoint me on last week. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! 

Cleveland +7 at Jacksonville - This is the SUCKER BET of the week. The Jags have not beat any 2008 opponent by more than seven points. Will the trend continue? I'm counting on it!

Washington -8 at Detroit - This is a great opportunity for the 'Skins to put themselves in great playoff position at the halfway mark! Will this team achieve their full potential? We'll know after this weekend.

Atlanta at Philadelphia OVER 45 - If the weather doesn't impact Lincoln Financial Field, these teams should be able to put points on the board. 

Arizona at Carolina UNDER 43 - I can't believe that I'm making the following statement. This could be a preview of their January 2009 rematch in the same stadium.

ENJOY THE GAMES!

David,

Hard to beleave the season is almost half way over.

The Cowboys need to cover and win in the worst kind of way.  I predict TO and the new Roy Williams will have big games, and all will be well in Dallas next week.

Three losses, one win, and a push (translation: push = loss!) last week for you.

I'm starting to get scared!

Lock of the week for me: Washington over Detroit.

This was a tough week for everybody so don't get frustrated.  No one picked the Dolpins over the Bills....

David,

 I enjoyed your post. I am hoping that the Steelers can come back after their loss last week to the Giants. That was a painful game for me to watch.

Happy Halloween
