>Week 8 Picks:
>Panthers - I know I'm late again, but really, who's taking the Bucs???
>Cowboys - Bad Romo showed his face last week so I'm hoping for a reversal. Definite shootout potential here.
>49ers - A couple weeks ago Seattle over the Jags was the Duh of the year. This is a close 2nd. Memo to the NFL, scheduling the perrenial punching bag Jags is not how to win over Londoners to your sport.
>Patriots - Brady can't lose 2 in a row to division opponents. Can he?
>Chiefs - Get ready to be 8-0
>Saints - Brees and co. are off the bye and ready to feast on some bison
>Eagles - Last week the Giants got their first win. That's enough for now.
>Steelers - 3 in a row? Maybe. Of course, my beloved Steelers have a way of disapointing me when they come to Oakland lately.
>Bengals - For the division's sake, I'll be rooting for the Jets, but I just cannot pick them
>Cardinals - Who cares?
>Broncos - Nothing like the Skins cringe-worthy pass D to right the ship after Manning's dissapointing homecoming
>Packers - Green Bay's D is stepping up and the Vikes are one-dimensional. Go Pack! Go!
>Seahawks - Should be able to turn off MNF at halftime

As a Vikings fan, I beg to differ re: your assessment of the Vikes. At this point they are zero-dimensional, no passing game, ineffective running game and no defense!
