Another split ticket in the biggest money making week for bettors ever.  I was sketched out by some of the spreads being too good to be true, but they were actually just too good.  However with each week, we all get a little wiser.  With that said here are the Week 8 Picks.

Philly -1
I came to the conclusion the this last week, that these teams are really not as good as perceived.  The Giants sorely miss Plaxico Burress, and if you look back at the games they have not been the same team offensively without him.  The Cardinals were able to win the battle up front against the G-Men, and I don't consider the Cardinals unit as good as the Eagles.  The Eagles are not so great themselves, as it seems they live and die by the big play.  I think they will be able to get a few big passing plays against a depleted Giants secondary.  Defensively look for them to blitz Eli early and often too force some turnovers and make the Giants play from behind, which I'm not convinced they can do.

Miami +3.5
Last game these guys played the Dolphins were able to impose their will on the Jets, and they have not been the same team since that game.  The hot dog thing has been good for Mark Sanchez since they are showing that shot of him on the sidelines, and not him looking very uncomfortable and on the verge of tears in the Bills game.  Braylon Edwards also seems to have gotten back to his usual disappointing form, who was a big factor in last contest.  This game figures to be heated giving all the jawing that has taken place since last game, and I almost expect the Phins to pull out a few F U plays from the wildcat.  Nothing has happened since the last time these teams met to lead me to believe it will be a different result this time around.

Baltimore -3
There is not a chance in hell that this Ravens team is losing this game.  They are far to talented to fall below .500 and fall that far behind in the division.  I am a little concerned about the Ravens ability to defend Brandon Marshall, but there is not better ball hawk in the league than Ed Reed.  I still am no totally convinced that the Broncos are as good as they are made out to be.  Don't get me wrong, I think they are solid, but not elite  The Chargers were able to move the ball on Denver through the air, and I think the Ravens passing attack will have similar success.

Green Bay -3
I hate Brett Favre......

Last Week: 2-2
Season: 9-7
