It is Week 8 in the NFL and old Cody here... has my film noir juices flowing, so all my picks are from famous film noir flicks:

Thursday night's Jaguars at Titans:
"You ain't going to like it, Johnny-- But I... believe Allegra's Old Earlers will win."

Sunday, Oct. 30
Redskins at Bengals:
"Well, I'm in the crapper already, so why not... pick the Deadskins to win--"

Chiefs at Colts:
"Go ahead, you guys-- Kill me... I picked Bendy's Old Dallas Texans over the Colts."

Raiders at Buccaneers:
"Don't give me no crap! The Raiders... will tear Tampa Bay a nice big, new one!"

Seahawks at Saints
"Are you crazy, Pete? The Saints... will lose big to the Seahawks?

Lions at Texans:
"Okay-- I'll write the Texans beat the Lions... but only Allegra will believe it."

Jets at Browns:
"So, you murder the Browns for me... and nobody will ever suspect the Jets didn't win on their own."

Packers at Falcons"
"Aaron Rogers, my ass, Fat Man-- The Black Birds... are kicking ass and taking name!"

Patriots at Bills:
"Uncle, Lon, you are fixing it... for Tom Brady to win again?"

Chargers at Broncos:
"Phillip, you boys can practice all day with this... but you ain't roping the Broncos into letting the Chargers win."

Cardinals at Panthers:
"How? How can we... face Cam when he blows another game?"

Eagles at Cowboys:
"Listen, Joe-- I'm not acting here... Dak will kick Carson's ass from here to Tuesday!"

Monday Night Vikings at Bears:
"Don't fret, dear. Go to sleep... your bet on the Vikings is the safest one this weekend."

"No use looking on the shelf, baby-- They're not there... The Ravens, Ewes, Phins, Jints, Stoolers and Soapy 9ers are all on a bye week sleep over."

Well, at least the Rams losing streak won’t continue.

Read the liberal sports media and they tell you our boycott has nothing to do with the crash of NFL ratings. Ha ha ha try again schmucks. The profile of NFL fans and Trump supporters matches up very well. We are the reason; and its because we don’t like watching our country disrespected by spoiled little rich kids.

Top of the world, Ma!

And now, some football picks!

Thursday, Oct. 27

8:25 p.m. ET Jaguars at Titans Wow! What a great game to kick off the Week 8 competition! I think my sock drawer needs rearranging so I will miss the live broadcast. Nevertheless, a pick is required so... With two blah teams facing each other and no other logical basis to make a pick, take the home team. Titans.

Sunday, Oct. 30

9:30 a.m. ET Redskins at Bengals 'Skins saw their four-game win streak come to an end against the Lions last week, and now travel to London to face a surging Bungles squad. I like the Bungles to keep on surging. Bengals.

1 p.m. ET Chiefs at Colts Chiefs surprised me last week. I hope they surprise me again. Chiefs.

1 p.m. ET Raiders at Buccaneers Raiders traveled to Jacksonville last week and came away with a win. This week across the state they'll come away with another Florida win.... And continue their march to the playoffs! Raiders.

1 p.m. ET Seahawks at Saints Seahawks could hardly play a worse game than they did last week (although they came away with the tie)... They will need to score more than six points to win this week. Seahawks.

1 p.m. ET Lions at Texans You think I would have learned over the years... Don't count on Matthew Stafford! Nevertheless, I will go against my natural misgivings... Lions.

1 p.m. ET Jets at Browns The Browns will get their first (and maybe only!) win of the season this week. Browns.

1 p.m. ET Packers at Falcons Just when I think the Falcons are about to separate themselves from the rest of the NFC South, they stumble. Maybe they are just a .500 team... Likewise, just when I think the Packers have solved their offensive problems they stumble again. If this comes down to a shoot-out, I like Rodgers indoors at the Georgia Dome outshining Matt Ryan. Packers.

1 p.m. ET Patriots at Bills Rule Number 2: don't count on the Bills - beat the Patriots in New England; lose to Miami at Miami. Ugh. Pats will get payback for that loss. Patriots.

4:05 p.m. ET Chargers at Broncos Chargers have won.... two in a row?! And have already beaten the Broncos once....Can they achieve the season sweep and a three-game streak at the same time?! Nah...Broncos.

4:25 p.m. ET Cardinals at Panthers Panthers season is effectively over. Cardinals... well, I don't know what the heck is happening with them, but I think they'll get it together for a win. Cardinals.

8:30 p.m. ET Eagles at Cowboys Two rookie QBS face each other. I like Prescott and the 'Boys to best the Iggles. Cowboys.

Monday, Oct. 31

8:30 p.m. ET Vikings at Bears There's no better cure for laying an egg last week than facing the Bears this week. Vikings.

Good luck everyone!!!!

Watching my Packers and thrilled the offense is finally moving like it used too.

Also, have seen two Trump commercials. No sign of Hillary so far.
