    Week 8 - picking every game
    I'm not - repeat not - betting every game, this is just a bit of fun. Last week's dreadful performance of 5-7-1 leaves me 50-46-6 for the season. Not good enough, so I'm pulling out all the stops this weekend and shooting for 9-4.

    FYI, the team I am picking is always listed first. All lines are taken from footballlocks.com at the time of posting.

    Titans -8.5 over Colts
    Breathe in, oppose Colts, breathe out, oppose Colts, breathe in, oppose Colts..... etc

    Texans -9.5 over Jaguars
    The two runningest teams in the NFL. Exciting.

    Panthers -3.5 over Vikings
    What's so macho about long, blonde girly hair anyway?

    Rams +13.5 over Saints
    Rams defend pass moderately well and get the ball out quick. Might keep it close.

    Ravens -12.5 over Cardinals
    I think the Baltimore defense will get the job done. They've covered 12 in all their wins.

    Dolphins +9.5 @ Giants
    I've never really been convinced by Eli Manning, or his stupid bulbous helmet.

    Redskins +4.5 @ Bills
    Ryan Fitzpatrick's beard is ridiculous. What is this, 1879?

    Broncos +3 over Lions
    Orange and powder blue are two of the less common NFL uniform colours.

    Steelers +2.5 over Patriots
    Society is run by corporate interests and democracy is largely a sham. We now return to our regular programming.

    Browns +9 @ 49ers
    I insist, insist, that San Francisco aren't that good really.

    Seahawks +1.5 over Bengals
    I think the respective schedules of these teams hide a lot of truth, like heavy makeup.

    Cowboys +3 @ Eagles
    It's late, I'm drunk, I'm pulling these out of my arse. Yes, that is how you spell arse.

    Chargers -3 @ Chiefs
    I don't assess MNF games til MA (Monday afternoon, duh) so this is a pure guess.



    Enjoy your NFL weekend!

    Ryan Fitzpatricks's beard is exactly why the Bills will lose tomorrow. False.

      Wait, I get. It's the same theme through all your picks. Well done. Although, I'm still not going against the Bills. Never do.

        You completely and utterly lost me. What's the same theme for all my picks? They're all made for various reasons, then mostly posted with whatever stupid comment pops into my mind.

          A lot of those plays looks ugly to me.

            Me too. Only a handful of games merit a real bet each week (I'm 20-11 for the season on actual bets), the rest feel like a crapshot. I'm just about keeping above 50% though so far!
