Happy Halloween everyone! Welcome to Week 8 in the NFL! There is a full slate of games to choose from including the snoozer over in London between Denver and San Francisco. This is the one that might finally put the London experiment to bed for good. It’ll be more boring than a friggen soccer match! I’m coming off a good week where I went 5-2, so let’s try to keep it going. I’m a writer for NSA’s blog and not a pro handicapper with NSAWins.com.
Last Week
5-2 (71%)
Season
29-18-3 (62%)
Sunday 10/31
New York Jets Minus 5 – The Jets are coming off the bye and have been playing well. They’re also getting healthy whereas Green Bay is a walking MASH unit. The Packers are also coming off an emotional win and can see a letdown coming. I also see NY getting to Rodgers and getting sacks and possible turnovers.
Miami Plus 2 – Miami got screwed by the refs last week and will be in a foul mood. Cincinnati hasn’t played well all year and their two WR’s would rather concentrate on their reality show than winning games. Miami has been solid on the road and I think they are a better team. Miami outright.
San Diego Minus 3.5 – I know, I know…San Diego is 2-5 and the Tits are 5-2… But SD has talent, they move the ball and stop the ball on D; they are losing because of mental mistakes, turnovers and special teams. Most of those can be corrected and if they are ever going to turn it around, it has to be this week. I’m not down on Tennessee, but think SD needs it so much more.
Tampa Plus 3 – These teams are even at best and I’ll go with the better QB getting points theory… Plus Raheem Morris says the Bucs are the best team in the NFC! Who am I to argue?
New Orleans Pick – If the Saints ain’t up for this game on Football Night in America at home in front of the crazies, then they ought to give their trophy back. Second road game in a row for Pittsburgh and while they are everybody’s best team right now, they aren’t invincible and could’ve easily lost last week.
Monday 11/1
Indy Minus 5.5 – Payback time for Peyton Gump and the boys… Look I know they have some key injuries, but beware the wounded animal my friends. Both teams have explosive offenses, but I’ll take Indy’s defense over the swiss-cheese Houston bunch.
Indy/Houston Over 49.5 – How can you play the under with these two offenses playing in a dome?
