Week 8
Jaguars @ Cowboys -6.5
Let’s put it this way: If the Cowboys don’t win all, and I mean ALL, hope is lost for Big D for the 2010 season. Jerry Jones is going to be pissed and just might blow up his new billion dollar stadium just to spite the NFL of not having the Cowboys being in the Super Bowl there this year. So with that said, the Cowboys will, hopefully, take this.
Panthers @ Rams -3
The Rams may actually be legit, not that legit though. Just legit enough to beat the Panthers who really have no idea what they are doing on offense. They are relying on a carousel of QB’s as opposed to their two 1,000yd running backs. Look for the Rams to increase their division lead.
Broncos -1 @ 49ers
It’s a battle of two under-achieving teams. Give some slack to the Broncos though because they have been injured riddled since the start of the season. The 49ers have not and look very troubled at times. Coach Singletary still believes he can win the NFC West. His clock is running out and it’s going to start this week.
Bills @ Chiefs -7.5
Yes the Bills are garbage but yet again last week impressed me by taking the Ravens into OT and putting up a lot of points. The Chiefs on the other hand are continuing to lead the AFC West with a strong performance against the Jaguars last week. Even though the Chiefs blew out the Jags, I like the fact that Buffalo can now put up some points, but they still won’t win the game.
Dolphins @ Bengals -1.5
The Dulphins lost a heartbreaker to the Steelers last week, which makes them a good pick this week. The fact that they “practically” beat the Steelers just shows me that they can beat up on the Bengals this week who have no sense of identity on offense.
Packers @ Jets -5.5
The Jets are coming off a bye and I don’t think they’ll miss a beat. The Packers hassled Brett Favre and got a victory over their slumping division rivals in Minnesota . The Jets are going to win this game but I think the high powered Packers will put up some points for the Jets not to cover.
Redskins @ Lions -2.5
This week may be the start for the Lions to go on a roll. They are in a tough division but will compete from here on out with Stafford back at QB. The Redskins will put up another tough fight like they do every week, but I think the home team will get this one.
Titans @ Chargers -3.5
The Chargers are by far the most under-achieving team in the NFL right now. Their expectations are always so high yet always get off to a slow start, however it has never lasted this long in recent memory. They need to pick their ish up, that’s for sure. The Titans D has looked great and it’s going to be a close game but the Chargers will probably find a way to blow it as usual.
Vikings @ Patriots -6
The Patriots looked sloppy and slow against the even sloppier Chargers last week. The only reason they won that game was because the Chargers had 4 turnovers before halftime, and even then it seemed like a close game. Brett Favre will be a game time decision but its time for the Vikings to get it together with or without him. With the Vikings getting points, they’ll be good here.
Seahawks @ Raiders -1.5
Well look at the Raiders. Unbelievable that they put up a whooping 59 points against the Broncos. I didn’t even they think they could put 59 points up in a total of 3 games, but what do I know right? The Seahawks are fairing well and Pete Carol is proving something so far this season, but look for the Raiders to put up some more points if they didn’t run out.
Buccaneers @ Cardinals -3
I’m still not believing in the Cardinals, even though they put up a good showing with Max Hall at QB. Then again I don’t have confidence in the Bucs either, so it’s a lose-lose for me. However I do believe in the power of getting points in a game like this, so I’m taking the Bucs in this one.
Steelers -1 @ Saints
I believe the Steelers will continue to dominate and prove they are the best team in the NFL with a victory over the on-again, off-again Saints. The Saints may show up this week but it probably will not be enough to overcome the Steelers offense and dominating D.
Texans @ Colts -5.5
The Colts are going to be hell-bent on not being swept by the Texans for the first time since the two have faced off; losing once for the first time was bad enough. The Texans support the NFL leading rusher in Arian Foster and the Colts have never been a team to stop the rush well. The lose of DeMeco Ryans may hurt them, but they still have to account for the devilish ways of Peyton Manning. It’s going to be a lot of points for the Colts to cover here.
Lock of the Week: Miami Dolphins
Record: 51-48-4 (7-7) Locks- 6 for 7
