Week 8 NFL Predictions  

Hey, I'm back, Here with more picks:

Last Week Record: 8-6

*= Game of the Week.

Oakland Raiders@ Baltimore Ravens: Well, both teams won last week, over the Jets and Dolphins respectively, and both teams aren't that good, but the Raiders are bad, and the Ravens are mediocre. Ravens win in a boring game.

Raiders: 10 Ravens: 14

Arizona Cardinals@ Carolina Panthers: Man, I like the Cards, they've been good the whole season, but I just don't think they can compete against the elite teams of the NFL, especially after the Panthers played last week against the Saints. The Cards will put up a fight until the 3rd quarter, after that, it's gonna get ugly.

Cardinals: 20 Panthers: 34

Tampa Bay Buccaneers@ Dallas Cowboys

This one has all the makings of a classic, a great defensive squad(tampa) vs a (supposedly) good offensive squad. After last weeks ugly loss to the lowly Rams, the Cowboys will be looking to rebound in this game. Gonna be a hard one against Jeff Garcia's team. It all depends whether Tony Romo starts and does good I.E. No INTS or fumbles. But considering that his finger is only one week into healing, if he does play, I doubt that we'll see the normal Tony Romo. If Brad Johnson starts, expect a beatdown.

Bucs: 35 Cowboys: 24

Washington Redskins@ Detroit Lions

I don't even have to put anything down.

Redskins: 28 Lions: 14

Buffalo Bills@ Miami Dolphins

The Bills are hot, the Dolphins are not. After a nice win over the Chargers, the Bills will be looking to take their 6th win of the season. The Dolphins might make a stunning victory over these Bills. We'll see how it plays out, I'm gonna play it safe and say Bills get the win.

Bills: 27 Dolphins: 17

St. Louis Rams@ New England Patriots

UPSET PICK OF THE WEEK.

Well, the Rams are hot with their new coach, beating the Cowboys and the Redskins, and they go now for the Pats and Matt Cassel. If the Pat's D plays like it did against the Broncos, they win, if the Rams play like they did last week, they win. I'll take the Rams.

Rams: 34 Pats: 30

San Diego Chargers vs. New Orleans Saints, In London.

The Chargers will be looking to bounce back from that close loss to the Bills and the Saints will also be looking to bounce back after the humiliating loss to the Panthers. Drew Brees gets to try to extract revenge on his former team, and Phillip Rivers looks to shred up their D. I predict the team with fewer turnovers wins this one.

Chargers: 24 Saints: 27

Kansas City Chiefs@ New York Jets

The Chiefs are coming off of a blow out loss, and the Jets are coming off of a loss to the lowly Raiders. I think Brett Favre has a great day this game, and the chiefs continue their struggles.

Chiefs: 3 Jets: 21

* Atlanta Falcons@ Philadelphia Eagles

Man, this one is gonna be a good one. We have both teams needing a win to keep up in their respective divisions. Matt Ryan comes to Lincoln Financial to try to take one from Philly. Donovan and the Eagles will try to shut them down. The Falcons have had a better Offense so far, and the Eagles a better defense. Like they say: Defense wins Championships. This one may not be a championship game, but the D will still win if for the Eagles. I predict Donovan and Matt to have a big day. But in the end, the Philly D should rattle up Ryan enough so that he throws some mistakes and the Eagles capitalize.

Falcons: 24 Eagles: 31

Cincinnati Bengals@ Houston Texans

The Bengals are one of the two winless teams in the NFL, the Texans have just come off of a two game winning streak and will probably continue it this week. The Bengals are without Starting QB Carson Palmer. Mario Williams and the Texans should rattle up their back up QB.

Bengals: 14 Texans: 24

Cleveland Browns@ Jacksonville Jaguars

The Browns came off of a hard loss last week against the Redskins, Derek Anderson has to have a good day for the Browns to win. That's gonna be tough vs this Defensive unit, and without Kellen Winslow out there. The Jags just need to execute their normal game plan to come out victorious. I think the Browns take this one in an upset.

Browns: 17 Jags: 14

New York Giants@ Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steeler beat up on the Bengals last week, and the G men beat the 49ers last week, I see the G-men's D line beating up on the Steeler's line, like the Eagles did a few weeks ago. With all the sacks that I think will happen, the G-men should come out victorious. IF they don't get any pressure on Roethlisberger then the Steelers win this one. That's a big IF though.

G-men: 17 Steelers: 9

Seattle Seahawks@ San Francisco 49ers

man, this one is gonna be bad, the 9ers just got a new coach, and the seahawks don't have Matt Hasselbeck starting. I see this one being close, with the home team coming out on top.

Seahawks: 9 49ers: 13

Indianapolis Colts@ Tennessee Titans

Peyton Manning needs to be Peyton Manning in this one. Marvin Harrison has to come back, and Reggie Wayne Can't leave. The Titans although 6-0, haven't really proven that they are that good, because all the teams that they have played have a combined record of 12-26. If the Colts don't win, the Titans will probably take the south, if they do win, its a fair game in the south. I think Peyton will be Peyton, and Wayne won't leave.

Colts: 28 Titans: 27

Game of the Week: Atlanta Falcons@ Philadelphia Eagles: If you like football with its share of offensive and defensive plays, don't miss this one.

Honorable Mentions: Indianapolis Colts@ Tennessee Titans, New York Giants@ Pittsburgh Steelers.

Shame of the Week: Cincinnati Bengals@ Houston Texans: If you like good football games, stay away from this one.

(Dis)Honorable Mentions: Washington Redskins@ Detroit Lions, Seattle Seahawks@ San Francisco 49ers.

Well, there you have my picks for the week. Should be a good week of football for Eagles, Falcons, Steelers, Giants, Colts, Titans, Browns, and Jags fans.

See you guys next week, enjoy football.

Week 7 Predictions

Hello football fans, it's time for more football action, and I got all the weekly predictions right here.

San Francisco 49ers@ New York Giants

The G-men were upset last week by the browns, Derek Anderson passed all over them as they exposed the Giant secondary and Eli played like Eli should play: mediocre ball. The 49ers need to attack the Giant secondary, while not turning the ball over, and playing solid D, they most definitely can come away with the win, If JT O' Sullivan plays good like he did last week, and Eli keeps up his bad play, the 49ers win, if not, the G-men will rout the 49ers.

Giants: 27 49ers: 17

Tennessee Titans@ Kansas City Chiefs

The Titans have been playing great football, as seen by the fact that they are the only undefeated team in the NFL, and it seems like that trend will continue here. The lowly Chiefs have just been playing bad football all season long, the only highlight being the win vs. the Broncos in which LJ ran for 198 yards, but the game after that, LJ ran for a measly 2 yards on 7 carries, of course the Chiefs are LJ-less that means a rout for the Titans

Titans: 24 Chiefs: 7

Pittsburgh Steelers@ Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals really need to get a win, for the 3rd time since 2000 they are 0-6, and they aren't as bad as some teams like the Chiefs or the Rams, the problem has mainly been the D, turning the ball over, and Chad Ocho Cinco suddenly becoming a useless wide receiver, seriously, what in god's name happened to him, he was one of the best WR's in the NFL, all of a sudden he never gets open, well, at least T.J. has been good. The Steelers should have no problem, especially considering that Big Ben is undefeated in the state of Ohio.

Steelers: 31 Bengals: 14

New York Jets@ Oakland Raiders

Man, the Jets should take this one easily, although they'll be the worst 4-2 team, JaMarcus Russell can throw far, but not accurate, and has a nack for turning the ball over. The Jets should cruse.

Jets: 28 Raiders: 3

Detroit Lions@ Houston Texans

Ok, the Texans are better than this. After two tough luck losses at home, they recovered last week vs. the Dolphins in a huge win at home, mean while the Lions put up a good fight to the Vikings, as they only lost by 2 points, man, it would have gone to overtime had it not been for Dan Orlovsky's run out of the end zone for a safety, it wasn't even a step or two, it was like 5 yards, someone tell this guy where the perimeter of the field is.

Lions: 13 Texans: 21

San Diego Chargers@ Buffalo Bills

This one should be a good one. The 4-1 Bills were last seen taking a beating at the hands of Kurt Warner and the Cardinals, Trent Edwards got a concussion in that game, and is questionable to start. The Chargers beat the Pats down last week, and because of that momentum, this one is definitely gonna be a good one. Because the Bills are at home, I say Bills come out victorious.

Chargers: 28 Bills: 31

Cleveland Browns@ Washington Redskins

The Redskins were upset last week by the then winless Rams. I seriously do not know how the Rams went into DC and took that game. Jason Campbell did pretty good, apart from some fumbles, he didn't do any mistakes, and the Rams exposed the Redskin secondary last game, if Derek Anderson can exploit that weakness (as he did last week against the Giants) Then this one is an Upset special.

Browns: 21 Redskins: 13

Indianapolis Colts@ Green Bay Packers

Peyton Manning was Peyton Manning last week against the Ravens, Marvin Harrison is back, and Reggie Wayne never left. The D did great against the Ravens, but that was against Rookie QB Joe Flacco. Aaron Rodgers has been pretty good through out the season, but he is playing with an injured shoulder, the Pack are home though. But keep in mind that the Falcons (4-2) beat the Packers at Lambreau Field.

Colts: 31 Packers: 24

Dallas Cowboys@ St. Louis Rams

The Rams pulled a huge upset win vs. the Redskins away at DC. Now they are back home, and looking for their 2nd win. Unfortunately for them it is against the Cowboys although Tony Romo is injured with a broken pinkie, its questionable if he will play or not, and even if Brad Johnson starts, he should have a big day, with weapons like T.O., Roy Williams, Jason Witten, and Marion Barber, this has all the makings of a blowout. One thing to consider is that Brad Johnson hasn't started a game since 2006, and I predict T.O. to be a ticking time bomb, with the acquisition of Roy Williams his catches could become less and less. But, if the Rams can keep drives going like they did last week, open up the running game, and play D like last week, this one could be an upset special. That's a big IF though.

Cowboys: 28 Rams 21

New Orleans Saints@ Carolina Panthers

Oh boy, this one should be a good one. Drew Brees did great last week, only have 4 incompletions, as the Saints rolled the Raiders over. The Panthers, mean while, got completely killed by Tampa Bay. I predict that Jake Delhomme should have a big game against the Saints D, that has been inconsistent this year. This one should be a high scoring one with every possession counting.

Saints: 28 Panthers: 34

Minnesota Vikings@ Chicago Bears

An NFC North rivalry, the Vikings barely escaped last week with the win vs. the Lions (THE LIONS!) and the Bears were beat last week, although Kyle Orton did well, during the last 11 seconds in Atlanta due to a bad squib middle kick, and Matt Ryan, Michael Jenkins, and Jason Elam heroics. This one should be a low scoring game, the D's should definitely thrive in this one. The Bears are at home, that alone should help them get the win, still, gotta keep in mind the Adrian Peterson factor.

Vikings: 14 Bears: 17

Baltimore Ravens@ Miami Dolphins

OH NOES back to the scene of the crime for the Ravens where they gave the Dolphins the only win of their 2007 season, although both teams lost last week to AFC south teams, this one should be pretty good. I expect the Fins to have a good offense against the Ravens, Joe Flacco should rebound this week, but the Fins are home, and have been one of the most productive offenses this year.

Ravens: 14 Dolphins: 28

Seattle Seahawks@ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Man, I don't advise Seahawk fans to watch this, after the Bucs ran over the Panthers, they'll be looking to do the same against the Seahawks, and I'm sure that they will, just like the G-Men ran the Seahawks over. Matt Hasselbeck isn't expected to start, it could be Charlie Frye or Seneca Wallace. I expect Wallace to start in this blowout.

Seahawks: 10 Buccaneers: 35

Denver Broncos@ New England Patriots

Mike Shanahan is 9-2 vs. Bill Belichick, and that trend should continue with the Pats and Matt Cassell.

Broncos: 31 Patriots: 17

Well, there you have all the weekly predictions, we should be in for a good week, come back next week for more, from yours truly

Thanks for Reading.

Top 10 Shooting Guards In the NBA

10: Vince Carter, Nets, Why? It's hard to believe that he's 31, but he is, he can still jump like no one else in the NBA, he can get a lot of rebounds when he has to, although, he will always be criticized for inconsistency, and not being clutch.

Stats: PPG: 21.3 Assists: 5.1 Rebounds: 6.0 Shooting %: 45.6

9: Brandon Roy, Blazers, Why? Roy brings a lot of leadership to the Blazers, even when Oden got injured last season, the Blazers contended for most of the season in the Northwest, he has good skills, makes the players around him better, and has leadership.

Stats: PPG 19.1 Assists: 5.8 Rebounds: 4.7 Shooting %: 45.4

8: Allen Iverson,Nuggets, Why? Well, he isn't much of a leader in terms of making the players around him better, and since Marcus Camby got sent out of Denver, he'll need to rely on Carmelo Anthony make big plays this season, his stats are very good though, especially considering that he's 33. He can still fill it up, the Nuggets should definitely give it to him when they need to score.

Stats: PPG: 26.4 Assists: 7.1 Rebounds: 3.0 Shooting % 45.8

7: Manu Ginobili, Spurs, Why? He does make the Spurs play better, whenever he is in and playing well, the Spurs usually win, if not, give a hard fought game, he still has the skills to fill it up, he has a good shot, he can shoot a good 3 point shot (40% last year) but, the downside is that he is injury prone and is approaching his 32 birthday.

Stats: PPG: 19.5 Assists: 4.5 Rebounds: 4.8 Shooting %: 46.0

6: Richard Hamilton, Pistons, Why? If you watch him play, he begins the game running, and doesn't stop til the very end, he is known for having a good shot from mid range, but he has expanded that skill to from beyond the arc, (he has shot .413% in the past 3 years from 3 point range), he is in great physical condition, although some ankle issues, but other than that, he's good to go.

Stats: PPG: 17.3 Assists: 4.2 Rebounds 3.3 Shooting %: 48.4

5: Joe Johnson, Hawks, Why? He is 6'7'', 235 pounds, he has a great combo of size, strength, ball handling, and shooting range, he is sometimes questioned for his leadership ability, and his disappearing act.

Stats: PPG 22.0 Assists: 5.7 Rebounds: 4.3 Shooting %: 43.2

4: Ray Allen, Celtics, Why? He is one of the best shooters of all time, and was very clutch against the Lakers in the Finals, he certainly helped the C's win last year, by offering dead-eye shooting, it took the pressure and defenses off of Kevin Garnett. He's getting old at 33.

Stats: PPG: 17.4 Assists: 3.1 Rebounds: 3.7 Shooting %: 44.5

3: Dwyane Wade, Heat, Why? On paper, Wade is one of the best shooting guards in the game, pushing Kobe and T-Mac, he is only 26, and has already won a championship, a few more role players, and more weapons, and he could easily win more. He has been riddled with injuries though.

Stats: PPG: 24.6 Assists: 6.9 Rebounds: 4.2 Shooting%: 46.9

2: Tracy McGrady, Rockets, Why? Although T-Mac has problems with injuries, mainly his back, he can very well fill it up, he is the leader of the Rockets, along with Yao Ming, if he can stay healthy, he can prove to be the best shooting guard in the NBA, he has good vision, shoots well, but he has missed an average of 20 game the last 3 seasons.

Stats: PPG: 21.6 Assists: 5.9 Rebounds: 5.1 Shooting %: 41.9

1: Kobe Bryant, Lakers, Why? He has been the best shooting guard in the NBA since Michael Jordan left, he makes everyone better, and has lock down defense, has great vision, and can certainly fill up the scoreboard, he may be criticized for being a ball hog, but he proved last year that he can pass the ball too, has a silky smooth shot, can jump for rebounds, and will be the best shooting guard until he retires or Dwyane Wade catches up to him

Stats: PPG: 28.4 Assists: 5.4 Rebounds: 6.3 Shooting %: 45.9

Management?

The Eagles have everything we need for a Superbowl run...but a #1 wide out, that is just terrible by the management, we can't make any playoff runs until we do get one, in the offseason, we should have made a move for Chad Ocho Cinco(Johnson) or frankly anyone who could have helped us greatly. This is just getting ridiculous. If we make a move by the deadline, then we will have a problem. McNabb certainly can air the ball out, he can throw pretty accurate. IT'S JUST THE MANAGEMENT AND MR. REID THAT MAKE THE WRONG CHOICES. We could easily be 5-0 if it wasn't for the fact that Mr. Reid calls way too scripted plays. During the Chicago Eagles game, we got to the goal line and we ran it 3 straight times to lose the game. How about a play action Reid??? My point is that we have a great QB(when he has someone to throw it to) we have a great RB, a pretty good O-Line, pretty good D, we're just missing wide outs. Just terrible play calling, and no receivers to boot.
