NFL: Picking 5 for Week 8

This week there are a lot of big games. So many that I’ll have to make 2 entries to cover all the games. So, let’s get started right away.

Denver Broncos at Baltimore Ravens

The undefeated Denver Broncos go into Baltimore to take on the Ravens. The Ravens have fallen to 3-3 on the year. The Broncos still get very little respect while the Ravens get too much respect. I have to admit that I’m guilty of not respecting the Broncos too. But I’m going to go against my gut and take the Broncos in this one.

Miami Dolphins at New York Jets

3 weeks ago the Jets were on top of the world and the Dolphins were at the bottom. Then the Dolphins beat the Jets and fortunes changed. Not the Dolphins seem to be rising while the Jets are sliding. The momentum stopped last week but it will continue this week. The Dolphins will win this game.

San Francisco 49ers at Indianapolis Colts

Again, Singletary is doing a good job with coaching but the Niners won’t win more than 8 games this year. They are 3-3 right now and they’re about to become 3-4. This game won’t even be close.

Seattle Seahawks at Dallas Cowboys

The Seahawks are injured and limping into Dallas. The Cowboys played their best game of the season last week. The Cowboys should be able to get their offense rolling. It will be interesting to see how Miles Austin does in this game. He’s coming off 2 huge games. Can he make it 3? I’m not so sure but the Cowboys should win this game easily.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans

The Titans are a shocking 0-6 in this game. However, they are about to win their first game of the season. Vince Young will provide the spark they need to finally play a decent game this year. The Jags are trying to salvage their season but they will take a major blow this week.
