2011-12 Picks - NFL - Week 8

Everyone is anxiously awaiting Part II of the Tim Tebow Saga, but he's actually not the biggest story of the week. We've got the Steelers v. the Patriots in what promises to be a battle; one that Tom Brady and co. have gotten the best of the past few years. The Chiefs versus the Chargers on Monday Night Football will be playing for first place in the AFC West. On Sunday Night Football, Romo and the Boys do battle with Vick and the Eagles after their bye-week. (Andy Reid doesn't lose after the bye-week). Looking forward to it.


Game of the Week - Sunday, October 30 
NE @ PIT

Comes as no real surprise that the Game of the Week is New England versus Pittsburgh. New England has looked vulnerable at times, especially on defense. Pittsburgh got off to a rough start but seems to be finding their groove. It's a tough call considering the game is being played in Pittsburgh, but I'm going to say New England pulls this one out anyway.

Sun, Oct 30
NO @ STL | New Orleans - I expect Brees and the boys to light up the world champion Cardinals.
MIA @ NYG | New York - I anticipate it'll be tough for the Jets to come back from what Tebow did to them last week.
ARI @ BAL | Baltimore - The Kevin Kolb experiment has failed. Sorry, Larry.
MIN @ CAR | Minnesota - Christian Ponder is pretty good. Adrian Peterson is really good. (And he's got the fumbling thing under control).
IND @ TEN | Tennessee - 62-7? Really?
JAC @ HOU | Houston - Jacksonville beat Baltimore last week. I call fluke.
DET @ DEN | Denver - Tebow Magic! 1 more time.
WAS @ BUF | Buffalo - Washington needs to put Rex back in the lineup.
CIN @ SEA | Cincinatti - Andy Dalton and the Bengals are looking pretty good. Marvin Lewis could be in the running for coach of the year.
CLE @ SF | San Francisco - They're pretty good.
DAL @ PHI | Dallas - Andy Reid has never lost after a bye week. There's a first time for everything.

Mon, Oct 31
SD @ KC | San Diego - Somehow, the Chiefs are playing on MNF for the division lead. I'm confused.

Byes: Falcons, Bears, Packers, Jets, Raiders, Buccaneers
