Week 8 Plays SAN FRANCISCO -16 OVER JACKSONVILLE 4 STARS KANSAS CITY -8 OVER CLEVELAND 4 STARS NEW ENGLAND -7 OVER MIAMI 5 STARS SEATTLE -11 OVER ST. LOUIS 4 STARS NEW ORLEANS – BUFFALO  OVER 49 4 STARS KANSAS CITY – CLEVELAND UNDER 39 3 STARS DALLAS-DETROIT  OVER 51 5 STARS OAKLAND-PITTSBURGH UNDER 41 4 STARS DENVER-WASHINGTON OVER 57 5 STARS   SAN FRANCISCO -16 OVER JACKSONVILLE (IN LONDON) – It’s gonna be wet and sloppy and the best team will win for sure.  That team is the 49ers.  Their running game may be all they need and Jacksonville won’t be able to stop it with 8 or 9 or even 10 men in the box. TAKE THE NINERS MINUS THE BIG NUMBER FOR 4 STARS HERE. If you are a fantasy guy, activate Frank Gore and DON’T activate Colin Kaepernick. Kap will be a runner today, not a passer. KANSAS CITY -8 OVER CLEVELAND – The Chiefs continue to win even when they don’t play well because of their incredible defense.  Last week they TRIED TO LOSE, I swear, and won anyway.  This week they get a good Cleveland defense and veteran Jason Campbell at QB for the Browns.  Campbell normally would probably do fine however this week isn’t going to be fun for Jason.  The Cleveland offense is putrid. Horrible. Pick your own word.  Oh yeah…the Cheifs are at home also.  I’M TAKING THE CHIEFS MINUS THE POINTS FOR 4 STARS HERE. NEW ENGLAND -7 OVER MIAMI – The Pats and Tom Brady are getting used to having young receivers and injured receivers.  The Pats running game is a good one with Stephen Ridley hitting on all cylinders.  Miami has lost 3 in a row and this should make 4.  Gronk has a week under his belt and will be much better this week. Danny Amendola comes back from a concussion (probably to get another one) TAKE THE PATS MINUS THE POINTS HERE FOR 5 STARS. STRAIGHT CASH HOMIE!! DETROIT -3 OVER DALLAS – The Cowboys and the Lions are almost mirror iimages of each other with both teams having potent offenses and defenses that at time can’t stop anyone.  Even with injuries, the Dallas Defense has held two decent offenses to a combined 19 points the past two weeks.  Detroit seems to be playing better o offense even though they lost a tough one at home last week.  ACTIVATE CALVIN JOHNSON, MATT STAFFORD, AND ANY OTHER DETROIT OFFENSIVE PLAYERS YOU THINK YOU SHOULD.  I’M TAKING THE LIONS MINUS THE POINTS FOR 4 STARS!! DETROIT-DALLAS OVER 51 POINTS – This play goes without saying.  If Tony Romo and the Cowboys are going to stay close (and I think they will) they’re gonna need to score. I’d be surprised if this number wasn’t achieved early in the second half.  Romo and Stafford will light up the skies with passes and the game is in Detroit inside so weather won’t be an issue.  Dallas gets back DeMarco Murray this week which should give Dallas more of a kick on offense.  Their receivers are doing great already.  Still am TAKING THE OVER 51 HERE FOR 5 STARS. KANSAS CITY-CLEVELAND UNDER 40 POINTS – This is going to be a defensive game in my opinion.  The Chiefs keep the offense close to the vest and run more than they throw anyway, and I don’t see Jason Campbell in his first start moving the Browns sick offense very well.  Jamaal Charles will run out of the backfield and catch passes for around 150 yards total.  The Browns will be behind early and be forced to throw which opens up the rushing lanes for the Kansas City linebackers.  TAKE THE UNDER 40 POINTS HERE FOR 4 STARS!!

WEEK 4 PREDICTIONS TAMPA BAY WILL COVER AND WIN THEIR FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON AGAINST THE ARIZONA CARDINALS WHO HAVE HAD A HORRIBLE RUN OF INJURIES AND MAKE ANOTHER CROSS COUNTRY RUN TO TAKE ON A TEAM IN TRANSITION. TAMBA BAY 27 ARIZONA 20.  MIKE GLENNON AND HIS PARENTS 2CELEBRATE WITH GARY AND TRACY MCINTURFF IN TAMPA THIS WEEKEND. 5 STARS!! BALTIMORE RAVENS TRAVEL TO BUFFALO TO TAKE ON A BILLS TEAM THAT IS NOT VERY GOOD.  SURE THEY HAVE C.J. SPILLER WHO WILL RUN FOR 50-100 YARDS AND A DECENT ROOKIE QUARTERBACK IN E.J. MANUEL BUT THE RAVENS ARE COMING OFF A GAME WHERE THEY BASICALLY SHUT DOWN A HOUSTON TEXANS TEAM THAT MANY EXPERTS HAD PICKED FOR THE SUPER BOWL THIS SEASON.  TAKE THE RAVES MINUS THE POINTS FOR 3 STARS!! BALTIMORE 23 BUFFALO 17. I WAS GOING TO PASS ON THE GAME BETWEEN INDY AND THE JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS BUT HOW CAN I?? THE JAGUARS ARE SOOO BAD AND THE COLTS ARE COMING OFF A KICK ASS PERFORMANCE AGAINST A TEAM THAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE IN THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.  THE COLTS HAVE INJURIES AND THE JAGUARS GET BACK THEIR STARTING QB (EVEN THOUGH HE ISN’T VERY GOOD) TAKE THE COLTS TO WIN 28-13 IN AN UGLY GAME. THE NEW YORK GIANTS MAY HAVE THE WORST TEAM THEY’VE HAD SINCE THE LATE 60’S WHEN THE REDSKINS SET A RECORD (ALONG WITH THE G-MEN) WINNING A GAME BY A SCORE OF 72-42 OR SOMETHING CLOSE TO THAT. I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AT THE TIME.  THE GIANTS HAVE PROBLEMS EVERYWHERE ESPECIALLY ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL. THEY ARE WORST IN THE LEAGUE IN DEFENSE, SOMEHOW WORSE THAN THE REDSKINS, AND THEY ARE TURNING THE BALL OVER AT A RECORD PACE.  I’M TAKING ANDY REID (WHO LOOKS JUST FINE IN RED) TO CONTINUE TO WIN IN A CONSERVATIVE FASHIO AND BEAT THE GIANTS BY A SCORE OF 31-24.  ALEX SMITH IS LOOKING LIKE HIS NAME IS MANNING, NOT ELI. Remaining Picks: Bears-Lions Over Eagles-Broncos Over Redskins-Raiders Over Cowboys-Chargers Over Radio Bruce Hall no no
