As an additional because I wont be here to actually predict it, for the Thursday game in Week 8...

I predict the Broncos to beat the Chargers.

Let me know if you get this and mark it down.

Welp, don't think I can afford another subpar week. Fortunately I'm a bit more confident about this week than last...which means I'll go 0-15 or something.

#1: If we don't get another butt fumble esque moment, I'm gonna be sad

#2: Picking Baltimore on back to back weeks strikes me as dangerous, but it's Atlanta here

#3: I've already picked Tennessee way more than I ever wanted to already

#4: I kind of wanted to go with the Rams as an upset after last night...but I really don't think Seattle is going to lose two straight

#5: I've actually got a good bit of confidence in Cleveland. This is a strange year

#6: I'm not super high on the Colts...but I've far lower on Cincinatti's secondary after the last two weeks, and this is Andrew Luck indoors.

#7: Wonder who will have a worse two weeks...Adrian Peterson or Adrian Peterson's former team?

#8: I'm done picking the Dolphins against anyone but Oakland

#9: I'm done picking the Saints on the road entirely

#10: Apparently some sort of divine power is backing Green Bay at this point, and I'm not going against it

#11: I wonder if there's a Guiness world record for consecutive games lost after setting a sound record

#12: Both Adrian Peterson and the Vikings can feel good in knowing however bad it gets for them, the Raiders will still have it worse

#13: And now I'm back to writing the Giants off again. I have a terrible feeling about this...but Dallas is 5-1. Don't fail me now, Fightin' Jerrys

#14: Going out on a limb here and saying the 49ers aren't going to be stopping Peyton from breaking the record

#15: Pittsburgh's inconsistent...and at home...I think they'll save their season (for now) here



Woo-hoo! I'm number five! I'm number five! I'm going to Vontaze my way to number one. Ankles, look out!!!

That's asking a bit too much after handing out such a rubbish moderation.


Consider yourself lucky it was me who saw it in the queue. 

You could have been on a one-way train to bansville, and then we would have had to rely on NiKKoM to come here and do the prediction league in your absence.

RArkaign Predicts:

CLE-JAC 1 CIN-IND 2 MIN-BUF 2 MIA-CHI 1

NYG-DAL 2 SF-DEN 2 BYE   HOU-PIT 1 x 6

Playing it safe other than Miami I think can surprise Chicago if they were capable of nearly dropping Green Bay (Green Bay is MUCH better than CHI).

Oakland over Arizona is my extreme upset pick. Oakland came dangerously close to sinking San Diego on Sunday, and I don't think many people would rank SD > ARI.  The Monday game is a complete toss-up, PIT is a mess this year, but so is Houston. I think a frustrated JJ Watt wins the battle against PIT's O-Line. PIT has allowed 17 sacks so far this year, and Ben can't dance out of the way very quickly. PIT also has a pathetic pass rush, which should be a relief to the below average QB situation for HOU.
