Shake it off - let's just shake off the bad performance of last week.....
Predictions for week 8:
Dal 31, Ariz 16: McCown on the road against a fired-up Dallas D? No. Lots of turnovers and points.
Cin 31, GB 17: GB has no defense. If Cle can score 26, Cinci will score at least 31.
Oak 24, Ten 13. Is this the week the Riaders turn the corner? Always wary about picking the Raiders on the road.
NYG 24, Was 13: The Giants play great at home. Eli will play well, and the D is strong enough to hold washington down.
Cle 20, Hou 13: Please, for the love of God....
Chi 20, Det 10: This talk about Jeff Garcia being the savior kills me. Did anyone watch that game last week? I did. The Browns gave them that game. Garcia was not a spark - the turnovers were. The Bears' D will kill the depleted Detroit offense.
Car 27, Min 13: This pick is easy... too easy, if you ask me. Still, there is no reason why the Panthers shouldn't win by 10 or more.
Stl 24, Jax 21: I like what I saw in Martin at the end of last week's game. St Louis will find a way to win this at home.
NO 27, Mia 16: I just feel like NO is ready to take all their frustrations out sometime.. return home to Louisiana seems like as good a time as any.
SD 31, KC 24: A good old AFC West Shootout. The Chargers will win, I'm not sure of the margin.
Den 27, Phi 17: Somehow, I have Plummer and Bell starting on my fantasy team this week. I think Philly is vulnerable here - and Den should romp.
TB 19, SF 10: What a complete guess at Tampa's total for the game. It could be 13, or 41.
NE 24, Buf 13: Lots of running plays and time-eating possessions. I think NE will be able to punch it in for a TD in the red zone more often than Buffalo.
Pit 27, Bal 10. If this turns into a 31-0 Pit blowout, I'll still watch with a smile on my face.

I think I'm in trouble since I only liked a couple of these games and I had to get in 16 picks. The only games I really like are the Giants, Cincy, KC, and NO. Everyone else makes me nervous. Oh and Eric, as stated this morning, Cleveland.com did not update their lines, so here is the revised lines so we are all on the same page:

I gotta disagree with the Was/NYG under. the G-men have the second worst defense in the league and the redskins offense is in the top five. I think that this is going to be a close game, but more like 31-28 close.
You were worried about all the games, but Giants, Cincy, KC, and NO??? I am still confused...which games were you confident in.
I think you should have been worried about meeting your season quota (15) last week. :)
Eric, I am scared of you.
Woo hoo! I got one!
Check out my prediction of the Stl-Jax game!!!!
It toook the NYT 5 years - it took me 8 weeks!
Eric: 12-6
Derek: 7-11
OVerall stadnings:
Derek: 22-14-1
