Week 8! Once more into the breech my friends!

Miami at Baltimore 8:25 pm CBS M&T Bank Stadium The Nevermores are soooo bad. They have managed one offensive touchdown in the last two games. It would be an overstatement to say the offense is pathetic - they have no offense. The Dolphins meanwhile are resurgent, even with Matt Moore at QB. The Phish will squish the Birds. Dolphins.

Minnesota at Cleveland 9:30 am NFLN Twickenham Stadium Another London game?! This seems to be a weekly event now. It won't make any difference to the Browns. Vikings.

Atlanta at N.Y. Jets 1:00 pm FOX MetLife Stadium No other team has fallen as fast and as far as the Falcons this season. They do however catch a small break this week in meeting the Jets. Falcons will rebound - a little. Falcons.

Carolina at Tampa Bay 1:00 pm FOX Raymond James Stadium These two teams are absolutely confounding. Panthers laid an egg against the Bears; Bucs did the same against ... I don't remember but they lost. Still, I don't think Carolina is that bad. Panthers.

Chicago at New Orleans 1:00 pm FOX Mercedes-Benz Superdome Bears have undergone a minor rebirth - they've won two in a row! The Saints however are scoring in bunches - wish I had Brees on my fantasy team - and at home? Yeah, Saints.

Indianapolis at Cincinnati 1:00 pm CBS Paul Brown Stadium The Colts are another team in disarray. The Bengals are not as bad as their record indicates. Bengals.

L.A. Chargers at New England 1:00 pm CBS Gillette Stadium Don't look now but the Chargers have won three in a row. As a reward they get the Pats at Foxboro. The win streak comes to an end. Patriots.

Oakland at Buffalo 1:00 pm CBS New Era Field Oakland righted the ship against the Chiefs last week (okay, they had a lot of help at the end, but they put themselves in that position). But I still have my doubts. I have doubts about the Bills too, but my doubts about the Silver-and-Black override my doubts about the Bills. Bills.

San Francisco at Philadelphia 1:00 pm FOX Lincoln Financial Field The Niners played their worst game of the season against the 'Boys last week. And while the Eagles suffered a couple of significant injuries in the game against the Redskins, they will overcome those. Eagles.

Houston at Seattle 4:05 pm CBS CenturyLink Field Sea-Hags have not exactly been overwhelming but they have been winning. Texans have been putting up a lot of points but not necessarily wins. And now a tough test playing Seattle in Seattle. Hmmm.... Upset of the week here: Texans!

Dallas at Washington 4:25 pm FOX FedEx Field Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott showed some real life last week. Okay, it was just the Niners but still they put up forty points. Redskins... well, their struggles will continue. Cowboys.

Pittsburgh at Detroit 8:30 pm NBC Ford FieldThe Kneelers seem to be hitting their stride. Despite the distraction that is Martavius Bryant and a potent Detroit offense, they roll again this week. Steelers.

Denver at Kansas City 8:30 pm ESPN Arrowhead Stadium Three weeks ago the Broncos looked like the class of the AFC. Same could be said of the Chiefs. But the Broncos were EMBARASSED by the Chargers last week, and let the previously winless Giants manhandle them at home before that. Chiefs had some problems too, but that game against Oakland was a toss-up not an ass whooping'. They'll rebound this week. Chiefs.

And in college ball this week ...
