Wow! Week 8! Somehow I am still alive in my Knockout League and am solidly in the middle of the pack in my fantasy league. Hope abounds! On that note here are my Week 8 picks!

Oct. 29

Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots 8:25 The Phish have shown some life under their new interim coach. But that won't continue in Foxboro tonight. Patriots.

Nov. 1

Detroit Lions at Kansas City Chiefs (London) 9:30 AM Another London game???? Gotta say I love these as the game is on at a decent time. I have given the Lions more chances than my first wife! No more. Chiefs!

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons 1 Falcons at home against the woeful Bucs? Falcons.

San Diego Chargers at Baltimore Ravens 1 Two teams going in the same direction - DOWN. Ravens are the bigger disappointment, although they have been in every game they've played, although (further) they always come up just short. But they are at home against a Bolts team that will be playing Sunday morning Pacific time. Maybe that gives the Nevermores the edge they need. Against all logic - Ravens.

Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears 1 Vikings are a rising team. And the Bears, as is usual in the Cutler Era (what a descriptor that is!), the Bears are in disarray. Vikings.

Arizona Cardinals at Cleveland Browns 1 Cards have righted things after that dismal outing in Pittsburgh two weeks ago. The Browns are not playing like pushovers, but not playing like a pushover doesn't mean winning either. Cards.

Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans 1 I can't figure out either of these teams. They win when they should lose, lose when they should win. So which should win this week and I'll pick the opposite! Texans.

New York Giants at New Orleans Saints 1Both of these teams are playing well after horrendous starts. The Saints used to be great at home. will they be again this week? Okay, maybe not great, but good enough to beat Eli and Company. Saints.

Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers 1 A good test for the Bengals and who is playing QB for the Steelers? Bengals stay unbeaten. Bengals.

San Francisco 49ers at St. Louis Rams 1 Rams are up and down like a yo-yo so far. But they have enough for the Niners in St Louis. Rams.

New York Jets at Oakland Raiders 4:05 It's a ho-hum game on the road for the Jay-EE-Tee-Ess, but I submit that after last week's loss against NE, this is a must win and will tell a lot about the New York Green Men. Jets!

Seattle Seahawks at Dallas Cowboys 4:25Cowboys need to stop the bleeding. So do the Sea-Hags. Improbably, the 'Boys do. Cowboys.

Green Bay Packers at Denver Broncos* 8:30 Somehow, despite terrible play from Peyton Manning, the Broncos are unbeaten. That comes to an end Sunday evening when Aaron and the Packers come to town. Packers.

Nov. 2

Indianapolis Colts at Carolina Panthers 8:30The Colts are falling apart - last year's blowout by the Pats in the playoffs (and all the Deflategate hoopla) seems to be a watershed moment for the franchise. They have not beaten any team outside of the AFC South so far this season, and that fact will remain true after this game. Panthers.

[big'ol_freeper]

Well, that was easy

[Rummyfan]

Last night, the Phish showed they are not ready for prime time. As Bill Belichick would say, we’re on to Sunday!

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Egads!
Gadzooks!
Had my picks and lost them.
I found them in the trunk of James Carville’s Lincoln town-car (along with 1000 votes for Obama dated November 2016).
Although you (Bender2) and I know that I would have taken the “Brady Demolition” crew, we must discount last night’s results because of timing.

Here’s the rest:

The Brady Vengeance Tour Continues

[dfwgator]

So much for that Dolphins’ resurgence.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Ha!

I’m thinking the Tom Brady Demolition will continue until Roger Godell taps-out and screams, “No Mas!”
