We made it to week 8 in the NFL. Some of the surprise teams (Detroit, Buffalo) in the beginning of the season are coming back to the pack, some teams are still surprising us (San Francisco), some are still riding momentum from last season (Green Bay), and some are what we thought they'ed be. There are also some bad teams, who are in the running for Andrew Luck (Indianapolis, Miami, Minnesota, St. Louis). Things are staring to define themselves for the stretch run, which I think comes after the bye.
week 8 picks:
1) I liked what Christian Ponder showed us last week and although he's going against another rookie quarterback in Cam Newton this week, I like Minnesota (+3) getting the W on the road in Carolina. Minnesota +3
2) St. Louis's will get some wins when they're schedule gets easier, but its not this week, I like the New Orleans Saints (-13.5) at the St. Louis Rams. New Orleans -13.5
3) The Cleveland Browns are a very up and down team, while San Francisco has found something under coach Jim Harbaugh, I like the San Francisco 49ers (-8.5) at home against the Cleveland Browns. San Francisco -8.5
4) The New York Football Giants are coming of their bye and getting healthy before the hard part of their schedule comes up but first they have the helpless Dolphins coming to town. I like the Giants (-9.5) to win at home against a winless Miami Dolphin squad. NY Giants -9.5
5) NY Jets- bye
