NFLFan's Journal: NFL 2006: Week 8

Wow, my picks just plain stunk last week: 4-9! Overall I am somehow 60-35. I thought it was much worse. I did not catch any games last Sunday so I cannot offer any of my usual stupid comments.

Sunday, Oct. 29
Arizona at Green Bay 1:00 p.m.
I like the Packers. How did the Cardinals lose to the Raiders? Sad.

Atlanta at Cincinnati 1:00 p.m.
I like the Falcons.

Baltimore at New Orleans 1:00 p.m.
I like the Ravens. Wonder how Ray Lewis is going to look more important than he really is this week.

Houston at Tennessee 1:00 p.m.
I like the Texans! Probably defies logic but we call the sport football even though feet rarely touch the ball; so does logic really need to prevail?

Jacksonville at Philadelphia 1:00 p.m.
I like the Eagles. Byron Leftwich hurt again, sigh.

Seattle at Kansas City 1:00 p.m.
I like the Chiefs. I cannot figure out either of these teams so I am going with Arrowhead.

San Francisco at Chicago 1:00 p.m.
I like the Bears. A no brainer.

Tampa Bay at N.Y. Giants 1:00 p.m.
I like the Giants. Scary good pass rush.

St. Louis at San Diego 4:05 p.m.
I like San Diego. Both of these teams seem to be building toward something good.

Indianapolis at Denver 4:15 p.m.
I like the Colts. Probably another bad pick on my part. Denver's defense might be stingy but the Denver offense is not putting up points. So I think the Colts can put up enough points to win.

N.Y. Jets at Cleveland 4:15 p.m.
I like the Jets. It is never good when you lose your offensive coordinator in the middle of the season.

Pittsburgh at Oakland 4:15 p.m.
I like the Steelers. Do I need a reason?

Dallas at Carolina 8:15 p.m.
I like the Panthers. The Cowboys are too desperate.

Monday, Oct. 30
New England at Minnesota 8:30 p.m
I like the Patriots. Okay, I hate the Patriots but sadly they are a consistent winner so I need them.
