Week 8 Picks: Danger Price


Danger Price is most likely one of them ore cheesier pricing games on TPiR, and that's saying something. Basically, the contestant is shown four prizes and one price. The goal is to pick the three prizes that don't cost the "Danger Price" - if you avoid the Danger Price, you win!

There are a lot of Danger Price games on the board this week - they are traps! Games that are just too tempting to take....avoid them! Don't pick the $950 Washer & Dryer!

With that, here are the predictions for week 8:

Phi 23, Jax 20. Don't do it! Jacksonville is much better than what they showed last week.

GB 27, Az 24. I'm not sure who is going to win, but this should be a fun game to watch.

KC 17, Sea 13. I am less and less impressed with Seattle each week. Us owner of Shaun Alexander in fantasy are getting mighty nervous.

Chi 31, SF 10. Yes, I may be falling into the trap here, but Chicago will be anxious to get the taste of the Az game out of their mouth.

NO 17, Bal 13. We'll see about McNair here. I'd love to see the Ravens lose here, but I'm not convinced it will happen.

Hou 20, Ten 17. Kicking the habit for good! A surprisingly good game.

NYG 21, TB 10. There will be a slight Giants hangover from Monday night, but they should pull this out.

Atl 24, Cin 20. Lot of wind tomorrow down here in Cinci. Atlanta impressed me a lot last week - and this is a worse defense.

SD 16, Stl 13. A field goal frenzy. Don't do it! The Rams D is pretty good and should shut down the Chargers somewhat.

Den 20, Ind 17. I thought Indy was a lock, but reconsidered since the game is in Denver - and Peyton does not play well against good D's outside.

Pit 27, Oak 10. Back to the cellar you go, Oakland.

Cle 24, NYJ 20. The weight of Carthon is lifted. This will tell a lot about the Browns- is the 1-5 start mainly due to the excruciatingly hard schedule, or are they truly a 1-5 team? Don't answer that.

Car 23, Dal 13. Carolina at home vs. Tony Romo? Uh oh, this may be a trap.....

Min 27, NE 24. What's the rule, class? Always take the Monday Night Home Underdog.

Best bets:
Last week: ugh. Not a good week for either one of us.
Eric: 5-11-1; overall: 58-48-6
Derek: 5-11; overall: 50-61-1

16 best bets:
Jax +7
Az/GB Over 44 1/2
Sea/KC Under 36 1/2
Chi -16
Bal/NO Under 37
Hou +3
TB/NYG under 40 1/2
Atl +3.5
Stl +9.5
SD/Stl Under 45
Pit -9
Cle/NYJ Over 37
Car -5
Dal/Car Under 41
Min +2
NE/Min Over 39

And if I have a good week, here is my Halloween costume (from the old set of Danger Price in the early 80s:)
