NFL Week Eight Picks
Things haven't gone well lately. Last week I went 2-1, -1.8 units. My season record stands at 14-21, +2.1 units. It's time to stop the bleeding.
Kansas City -7 vs. Cleveland: The Chiefs' 2013 Bottom-Feeder Tour continues. The Browns will try a third quarterback this season. Although he has faced the Chiefs before, from his Raider days, there is no reason to think Jason Campbell will keep it close.
New England -6 vs. Miami: Tom Brady is going to look like Tom Brady at some point this season. Right? Bueller?
Oakland +2.5 vs. Pittsburgh: I wouldn't call the Raiders a good team, but they're scrappy, and the Steelers are far from themselves.
Washington at Denver over 58 points: One decent offense, one great offense, two lousy defenses. Although the number is high, I think both teams are good for 30 points on each other.
Atlanta +2.5 at Arizona: The Falcons are another team set to wake up from a season-long stupor. The Cards are the perfect opponent for that.
Lastly, a four-team, six-point teaser, pays 2.5 to 1:
Kansas City -1.5
Oakland +8.5
Atlanta +8.5
Green Bay -2.5 vs. Minnesota
