NFL PICKS WEEK EIGHT 2016

We're halfway through the season and Christmas is right around the corner . I was a respectable 7-7-1 last week. John was 11-3-1. Our season long records are 47-56-4  and 56-47-4.

Here are this weeks' picks:

1.) Cincinnati Bengals  (3-4)   in London   (-3)   vs.  Washington Redskins  (4-3)

The Bengals look like they have their act together and the Redskins are banged up.

PICK: BENGALS

2.) Atlanta Falcons (4-3)     at  Home   (-3)   vs.    Green Bay Packers  (4-2)

The Falcons have a better offense and will score more points.

PICK: FALCONS

3.) Houston Texans  (4-3)   at Home  (-2.5)   vs, Detroit Lions  (4-3)

Matt Stafford  or Brock Osweiler?

PICK: LIONS 

4.) Seatle Seahawks  (4-1-1)   (2.5)   at New Orleans Saints  (2-4)

When will Shaun Payton be accountable for his defense?

PICK: SEAHAWKS

5.) New England Patriots  (5-1)   (-6.5)   at  Buffalo Bills   (4-3)

No way the Bills sweep this season series.

PICK: PATRIOTS

6.) New York Jets  (2-5)   (-2.5)   at  Cleveland Browns (0-7)

PICK: JETS

7.) Tampa Bay Buccaneers   (3-3)   at Home   (PK)  vs.  Oakland Raiders.

The Raiders are the new road warriors.

PICK: RAIDERS

8.) Kansas City Chiefs  (4-2)   (-3)   at   Indianapolis  Colts  (3-4)

Spencer Ware will run wild.

11.) Dallas Cowboys   (5-1)   at home  (-4.5)   vs. Philadelphia Eagles  (4-2)

Every time I pick against the Eagles they win.

PICK: EAGLES

12.)  Minnesota Vikings  (5-1)   (-4.5)   at  Chicago Bears  (1-5)

The Bears are on their second straight national television games. And they wonder why fewer people are watching?
