Week 8 Picks

Okay, it's GO time. Down 3-2 in the weekly picks, it's time to put the women and children to bed and go looking for dinner. On with the picks:

Arizona at Green Bay: Arizona
Not sure why, but I have a feeling that the Cards might be okay here. The Packers pass D is horrific, and if you haven't heard, the Cards like to pass a bit. With Edge only rushing at 2.8 yards a game, they have to pass. And pass often.

Atlanta at Cincinnati: Cincinatti
Bitch, I can't wait to watch Chad Johnson. Those guarantees and his brash comments will make me watch this game with eager anticipation. I think that I do want to see him shave his head tho.

Baltimore at New Orleans: Baltimore
Redemption time for the Ravens. Their defence should be up to the task against the Saints.

Houston at Tennessee: Tennessee
Speaking of redemption, watch for Vince Young to show the Texans what they missed when he goes off this weekend. I may not know much about college football, but in a big game, when pride is on the line, Vince Young steps up. This weekend shouldn't be any different.

Jacksonville at Philadelphia: Philadelphia
And the man-crush continues. Really, it has nothing to do with actually liking the Eagles. I don't. In fact, I despise them. But the Jags are not the same team they were a couple years ago. Watch for McNabb to be the difference.

Seattle at Kansas City: Kansas City
No Shaun. No Hasselbeck. Seneca Wallace is not the answer. Now, KC has it's own worries with injuries as they rely on their third string QB. But they do have the guy....what's his name? Oh yeah, Larry Johnson.

San Francisco at Chicago: Chicago
Not even close. Sorry 'Niners fans. This one is gonna be UGLY.

Tampa Bay at New York Giants: New York Giants
The Bucs have been getting better. But they aren't up the Giants standards yet.

St. Louis at San Diego: San Diego
This could be a surprisingly good game. The whole Merriman fiasco is just a little added drama. Chargers are good enough, at home, that they can beat the Rams.

Indianapolis at Denver: Denver
It's strength versus strength (Indy passing against Denver D) and strength versus weakness (Denver running game versus Indy rush D). That equation adds up to a loss in Denver for the Colts. Manning will have a tough time in enemy territory and his D won't be able to stop the rush. If you haven't heard, Denver likes to rush the ball.

New York Jets at Cleveland: New York Jets
Cleveland isn't good. Pennington should be able to exploit the Cleveland D and connect enough to win the game.

Pittsburgh at Oakland: Pittsburgh
Much like the Chicago game, this is gonna be nasty.

Dallas at Carolina: Carolina
Two great wide receivers. Both are playmakers. Both are unstoppable when they are on. Both affect their teams. Difference is, one makes his team rally around him and fight. Look for Smith versus Owens to be close, but Carolina should win this one.

New England at Minnesota:
This is a difficult call for me. I want the Vikes to win, but I think that New England is a slightly better team. That being said, the Vikes could certainly upset them. Part of me wants to defend my teams honour, after Bitch called me out last week. But, to pick my own team because they are my team is silly. It's a bad way to gamble. It goes against my number one rule: Don't bet on your own team. Or Don't bet with your heart. Either way to pick the Vikes is to break a rule. That being said.........

GO VIKES!

Good Luck bitch!
