NFL Week 8
9:01 PM EDT Wednesday, October 25 2006
Last week was rough. 5-6-1, first week under .500. I didn't get my picks into wagerline (thought I did), so I'm going to have to keep track of my record here. Including the two previous losses that I didn't get into wagerline, my record is 30-21-3, %58.82. I'm gonna be away this weekend, so I'm gonna get my picks in early.
Arizona +3.5 over GREEN BAY
GB is allowing 293 yards a game, so I like them in a shootout
Atlanta +4.5 over CINCY
Vick had a big game last week, hopefully he can have another
Baltimore +1 over NO
If the Ravens lose this game, they will be in serious playoff jeopardy, due to their upcoming schedule
TENNESSEE -3 over Houston
Houston looked good last week, but won't look good on the road
Jags +7 over PHILLY
Jags bounce back
KANSAS CITY -6 over Seattle
Seattle on the road without Hassleback, no shot
CHICAGO -16 over SF
The bears will win by 40, coming off the scare in Arizona and the bye
NY GIANTS -9.5 over TB
TB can't get it done on the road
SD -9 over St. Louis
SD should be able to dominate the game with their running game
Indy +2.5 over DENVER
I have no faith in Jake Plummer
CLEVELAND -1 over NY Jets
When in doubt, go with the home team
OAKLAND +9 over Pittsburgh
Has oakland turned a corner? Let's hope so
CAROLINA -5 over Dallas
Although Carolina is 0-6-1 against the spread, I can't pick Romo.
New England -1 over MINNESOTA
Not sure what to think about Minnesota, but you can't go wrong picking NE when in doubt
