Madden Pick 'Ems: Week 8

Last week: 8-6

I'm dispensing with the Madden prose because it gets really old, especially with one hand. Try it for 8 weeks and you'll see what I mean.

Bills (0-6) at Chiefs (4-2) Ryan Fitzpatrick of the Bills is the second highest rated QB behind Manning (with at least 80 attempts), but I think Romeo Crennel actually knows what he's doing with this defense. They're a bogus PI penalty from 5-1, and I think they'll handle the Bills.
 
Broncos (2-5) at 49ers (1-6) Go to the game, get drunk, eat some hot dogs, forget it ever happened.
 
Buccaneers (4-2) at Cardinals (3-3) I like Josh Freeman and company (that's right, he already has a company) to win this one in the 4th.
 
Dolphins (3-3) at Bengals (2-4) The Bengals are great at putting up points in garbage time.
 
Jaguars (3-4) at Cowboys (1-5) Don't expect me to believe that the Cowboys are going to give much of an effort in this game.
 
Packers (4-3) at Jets (5-1) Aaron Rodgers isn't as good against the blitz as he was last year. We're talking 30-40 QB points worse. Uh-oh.
 
Panthers (1-5) at Rams (3-4) DeAngelo Williams is on my fantasy team, so expect him to get totally shut down.
 
Redskins (4-3) at Lions (1-5) Interesting stat: Suh leads the league in sacks among DTs.
 
Seahawks (4-2) at Raiders (3-4) I want to see another Raiders 24-0 lead in the first.
 
Steelers (5-1) at Saints (4-3) This is going to be a fun one to watch. The Saints tricky offense versus the new Steel Curtain. But the Saints are playing like ass.
 
Titans (5-2) at Chargers (2-5) I don't think the Chargers are ready to call it quits just yet, but you have to wonder if they are still buying into Norv.
 
Vikings (2-4) at Patriots (5-1) I mentioned this last week, but the Patriots don't feel like a 5-1 team. It's hard to pick the Vikings because of Favre and his injuries/turnovers/age/penis, though I won't be surprised if they win, especially with Moss looking to stick it to his old team.

Mon: Texans (4-2) at Colts (4-2) The Texans defense is pretty bad, but stats and rankings don't always matter against division rivals. The Colts are also beat up on both sides of the ball. No Dallas, no Mormon, no Bobzilla, and possibly no Addai. Still, they've got Manning, they're home, they're on MNF, and they're playing at night. I'm invoking the Bill Simmons "Never bet against Manning in a night game" rule. Colts 24-21.
