Regular Season Week 8
Just in case you missed last week’s games we’ll recap. It must be brought to attention the “multitude of mistakes” by the refs this past weekend and throughout the season. It has gotten to the point that the NFL had a conference call with ALL the game officials this past Friday to encourage them to do a better job when it comes to making the right calls. The refs are really making some serious mistakes and hopefully after this conference call the officials will be bringing their A-game to work. On a good note the defensive players seem to have been able to correct their “illegal” hitting so far. Lets see if the refs can correct their eyesight.
Cincinnati @ Atlanta 32-39
I called Atlanta to win this game and they did. I wish the rest of life was that easy.
Pittsburgh @ Miami 23-22
Talk about the blown calls from officials… Miami should have won this game but do to a blown call with an obvious Roethlisberger fumble Pittsburgh won with a field goal.
Buffalo @ Baltimore 34-37
Well Buffalo made it to over time... and came up short. On the other hand Baltimore should be hanging their heads in shame to allow 34 points, especially from the Bills. I was right the Bills are 0-6
Jacksonville @ Kansas City 20-42
I picked KC to win this game and they did but I still don’t understand how KC is 4-2 on the season. KC is still on top of their division, 2nd is Oakland?!??? (what?) 3rd is San Diego and last is the Broncos. I feel like I’m in the twilight zone looking at these standings. Shouldn’t they be reversed?
Cleveland @ New Orleans 30-17
On any given day any given team can win a football game and that’s just what happened last Sunday. The Browns rocked the Saints in Who Dat Country. The Super Bowl champs were stunned and I think that their Super Bowl hangover continues. Who knows maybe Drew Brees is taking his Nyquil on the field instead of waiting till he gets home? Brees threw 4 interceptions, 2 of which were returned for TDs.
Washington @ Chicago 17-14
I really just don’t know what to say. I’m not happy that Washington won but Chicago seems to be good at disappointing.
San Francisco @ Carolina 20-23
CAROLINA WINS THEIR FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON!!!!!!! Thank God for John Kasay. Pretty sure he has the most points this season for Carolina… and he is of course the Panthers kicker.
Saint Louis @ Tampa Bay 17-18
Saint Louis let me down. It must have been a good defensive game on their part but not good enough they allowed only one touchdown but allowed 4 field goals losing the game by one point.
Philadelphia @ Tennessee 19-37
I am very happy with this outcome. This game puts the Eagles in 3rd place and the Giants safely at the top of the NFC East and I like this very much.
Arizona @ Seattle 10-22
With this win Seattle leads the NFC West at 4-2. I bet Arizona misses Warner more than ever. I hope he’s doing well on Dancing With The Stars.
New England @ San Diego 23-20
San Diego has no one to blame but their own players. Tragic game if you are a Chargers fan and a tragic game if you are not a Pats fan…. It was tragic for me.
Oakland @ Denver 59-14
This was the highest scoring game by the Raiders ever! Crazy! I think maybe Denver forgot to show up for the game?
Minnesota @ Green Bay 24-28
This was another game that fans were in an uproar over calls by the officials. And Childress was fined $35,000 for publicly bashing the officials after the game. Maybe he should use all that anger and direct it to benching Favre.
Favre definitely could have used his walker at the end of the game. It was pathetic…. They say that pride comes right before the fall…. PS this game was the most-watched Sunday Night Football game in history to date.
New York Giants @ Dallas 41-35
The New York Football Giants ~ taking out QBs one game at a time! I know that with the track record the Giants have this far if I was an opposing QB I’d be a little afraid. Good thing I’m a huge Giants fan. True story – I have a friend who has a friend who is wearing a Romo jersey with her left arm in a sling and has a sign that says property of the NY Giants for Halloween! Love it! I’m not going to even mention the first 5 minutes of the game… it was so bad that I’ve erased it from my memory but I do remember the glorious win and that’s what counts! On a side note this game drew cable TV’s biggest audience of the year with 17.9 million viewers. I am so glad that so many people got to see this amazingly awesome game!
WEEK 8!
Denver @ San Francisco
After last weeks massacre at Denver I would hope that the Broncos have a better game this week. On the other hand the 49ers really need a win after losing to the 1-5 Panthers. But if I have to pick a winner I’m going with Denver. Denver is 2-5 on the season and San Fran is 1-6.
Jacksonville @ Dallas
Dallas is pathetic and with out Romo their hopes of a win go from dismal to worse. I have to go with Jacksonville this week. Jacksonville is 3-4 and Dallas is 1-5 on the season.
Miami @ Cincinnati
I’m not sure if Cincinnati has what it takes to win at home. And I’m sure that Miami is all riled up after losing to Pittsburgh last week. I think that Miami will win this one. Miami is 3-3 and Cincinnati is 2-4 on the season
Buffalo @ Kansas City
Call me crazy but I’m going with Buffalo this week. All the odds stand against them and that’s what makes this pick so crazy. Buffalo is 0-6 and needs a win desperately and KC is at a surprising 4-2.
Washington @ Detroit
I want another upset. Come on Detroit! You should be fresh off your bye week. Just don’t hurt McNabb. The Redskins are 4-3 and Detroit is 1-5
Carolina @ Saint Louis
Carolina had their one win of the season they aren’t due for another win for a while. I like the Rams in this game. Carolina is 1-5 and Saint Louis is 3-4
Green Bay @ New York Jets
Green Bay looked good last week but I think that the refs were the ones who gave them the win. I’m taking the Jets this Sunday because they’ve got to be awesomely well rested coming off their bye. Green Bay is 4-3 and the J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS are 5-1
Tennessee @ San Diego
Love you Abby but I’ve got to go with San Diego for many reasons. 1. They need the win. 2. Philip Rivers is my QB this week for fantasy football. 3. Ryan Mathews is one of my RB’s this week for fantasy football. 4. The Titans have a better record than the Colts and I just cant have that so the Titans need to lose. 5. The Chargers desperately need to get out of their funk. The Titans are 5-2 while the Chargers are 2-5 on the season
Minneapolis @ New England
Ok there are a couple of different scenarios for this game. 1. Childress could grow some balls, bench Favre, start Tavaris Jackson and beat the Pats (this is the best {and my favorite} but least likely scenario in my opinion) 2 Favre tells Childress that he’s starting (because everyone knows that Favre is actually the coach of the Vikings), the Patriots are like sharks and smell the blood as soon as he hobbles onto the field, and the defense tears Favre apart limb from limb on the very first drive. This will take Favre out not only the rest of the game but for life and he will actually have to start using a walker to get around in day-to-day living. Jackson will replace him and pull the team to victory (this is also a good scenario but not the best) The 3rd scenario is like the second only Favre plays longer and when he finally gets hurt he refuses to get off the field and stays in the whole game and hands the Patriots a win on a silver platter. (This is my least favorite scenario but the most likely one in the real world. I mean we just saw the same scenario last week against Green Bay) Patriots this should be an easy win for you but I hope you blow it. Patriots are 5-1 and the Vikings are a sad 2-4
Tampa Bay @ Arizona
Arizona is 2-0 at home so I am going to go with Arizona on this game. Tampa Bay is 4-2 on the season and 2-0 on the road but I am still going with Arizona. The Cardinals are 3-3 on the season.
Seattle @ Oakland
I hope this is a good game but I have to go with Oakland after that win last week even though Seattle is 4-2. Oakland is making a comeback this season I think at 3-4
Pittsburgh @ New Orleans
The Saints need this win after being embarrassed by the Browns last week. I’m going with the Saints. Hopefully the refs will make the right calls this time and not give the game to Pittsburgh. The Steelers are 5-1 and the Saints are 4-3
Houston @ Indianapolis
Can’t wait for Monday Night Football! Another divisional game and my other favorite team is playing this Monday. They both have the same record in the AFC South at 4-2. Obviously I want the Colts to win. I missed them last week while they were on their bye week and I am happy that they are back this week. Make me proud Indi. Make me proud!
This week’s byes are the Falcons, Ravens, Bears, Browns, Giants and Eagles
Enjoy! GO COLTS!!!!!!!
PS a special thanks to my mom for editing for me!
