NFL Picks - Week 8

Week 7 was just an average week for my picks - I was 10-4 in Week 7 picking winners, but hit only 2 of the 5 upsets I picked. I am 62-41 (60%) on the season.

My favorite team didn't play. This week, the Bolts play the Houston Texans - but we don't know where due to the fire situation. It probably doesn't matter- Houston may have to start their second-string QB - Sage Rosenfels. I'm guessing that the Chargers will win, say 37-17.

Here are my week 8 picks (winners, home team denoted with an H):

San Diego (3-3) (H) over Houston (3-3).
St. Louis (0-7) (H) over Cleveland. (3-3).
Chicago (2-4) (H) over Detroit (4-2)
Indianapolis (6-0) over Carolina (4-2) (H)
NY Giants (5-2) over Miami (0-7) at London.
Tennessee (4-2) (H) over Oakland (2-4)
Minnesota (2-4) (H) over Philadelphia (2-4)
Pittsburgh (4-2) over Cincinnati (2-4) (H)
Buffalo (2-4) over NY Jets (1-6) (H)
Tampa Bay (4-3) (H) over Jacksonville (4-2)
New Orleans (2-4) over San Francisco (2-4) (H)
New England (7-0) (H) over Washington (4-2)
Green Bay (5-1) over Denver (3-3) (H)

There are a lot of close games this week. I picked St. Louis, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, and Green Bay against the spread.
