Week 8 Picks |
| Last
Week: 11-3 Season: 65-38 |
|
The Colts have too many offensive weapons for the improving
Panthers. Could well be closer then most people expect, but a win is a
win.
Pick: Colts |
 |
|
The Bears
should avenge their earlier loss to the Lions, but don't underestimate
Lions QB Jon Kitna. Bears are vastly improved with Griese at the helm.
Pick: Bears |
|
 |
Banged-up Bengals are
missing key players on both sides of the ball. Steelers should grind it out offensively and apply steady pressure on Palmer.
Pick: Steelers |
|
|
The Giants have won five
straight, but essentially thanks to a J.V. schedule other than the Skins. This week's
opponent, the Miami Dolphins. Enough said.
Pick: Giants |
|
 |
Eagles may be without
three starters, but if they can somehow contain RB Adrian
Peterson, they have a chance to pull off a mild upset.
Pick: Vikings |
 |
|
A loss to the Browns at home leading into the bye week might mark the end of the Scott Linehan
era in St Louis.
Pick: Browns |
|
|
This Titans coaching staff is the best in the league. This week, no
QB, RB, and possibly 2 WRs, out. But not to worry … Titans go
5-2.
Pick: Titans |
|
 |
Playing at home vs. the
wounded Bills (9 players on IR) gives the Jets their best chance to pick up another win. But like the way Bills are playing to this point.
Pick: Bills |
|
 |
Texans are fading fast. Chargers have made good adjustments over the last two weeks, scoring 69 points while giving up just 17.
Pick: Chargers |
 |
 |
An excellent match, but I'm going
with the Bucs in this cross-state rivalry based on the play of a truly
remarkable performer, Jeff Garcia.
Pick: Bucs |
|
|
This one might be closer than
most expect, but in the end, I just don't see the Skins being able to
match New England's offensive firepower.
Pick: Patriots |
 |
|
Maybe it's because we could never
beat these guys when I worked for the Saints, but I'm not sold on the
Black & Gold, Home field will be the
difference.
Pick: 49ers |
|
 |
The Broncos have a difficult time
stopping the rush, but catch a break against a Green Bay team that
has yet to establish a running game.
Pick: Broncos |
