Blogger Deathsport: Week Eight Picks

Keep on truckin

Saturday 1 Nov late night: week eight results are in, Curly R flailed again at 5-8, what the hell happened to my ability to pick games against the spread?

Blogger Deathsport rolls on with week eight, I am still stuck in the basement and too many games this season have been good for me to lose. Will is still crushing and I am in danger of getting fired from my own blog. Your players:

Will Allensworth at Hogs Haven
TexSkins at Hogs Haven
Dagger at Post Game Heroes
Brian Hunter at Common Prejudice NFL
Derek at Iggles Blog
Blitzburgh at Behind the Steel Curtain
River City Rage at Big Cat Country (no picks = FAIL)
Gonzo at Daily Norseman
Gamecocker at Horseshoe Digest

And now the picks:


Sunday
ATL @ PHI (-9)
Pick: Falcons. To lose and cover, the Eagles I still don't know.
Result: Eagles. Pat Kirwan is high on the Eagles.

KC @ NYJ (-13)
Pick: Chiefs. the Jets are not thirteen points better than anyone.
Result: Chiefs. Yup.

STL @ NE (-7)
Pick: Patriots. This is the lock of the week.
Result: PUSH. Wrong again.

BUF (1.5) @ MIA
Pick: Bills. With a line this close take the better team.
Result: Dolphins. This Miami team is random in Bill Parcell's first year.

OAK @ BAL (-7)
Pick: Ravens. Baltimore is proving to be a very good bad team.
Result: Ravens. Oakland is a pretty bad bad team.

WAS (-7.5) @ DET
Pick: Redskins. If Washington covers it will be their largest victory margin of the season.
Result: Redskins. By a half point which was also the Redskins largest winning margin of the season.

ARZ @ CAR (-4.5)
Pick: Panthers. Giant concrete fist.
Result: Cardinals. Damn, a half point short.

SD (-3) @ NO
Pick: Chargers. No home field advantage for no one and the Saints are dying a little at a time.
Result: Saints. Saints have a great offense, no defense.

TB @ DAL (-1.5)
Pick: Buccaneers. Brad Johnson may not be viable after this week.
Result: Cowboys. Wrong again.

CIN @ HOU (-9.5)
Pick: Bengals. This is a too large spread.
Result: Texans. Bengals were slaughtered.

CLE @ JAX (-7.5)
Pick: Jaguars. Let the good times roll.
Result: Browns. Phenomenally bad week continues.

NYG @ PIT (-2.5)
Pick: Steelers. This is a momentum game, the Giants get to start finding out who they really are.
Result: Giants. Pittsburgh really let me down.

SEA @ SF (-5)
Pick: Seahawks. Mike Singletary does not get the Jim Haslett bump.
Result: Seahawks. Mike Singletary does drop trou.


Monday
IND @ TEN (off the board = straight up even)
Pick: Titans. Unless they realize they are flying.
Score: 23-13
Result: Titans. If Tennessee keeps it up they may be pretty good this season.
