Things are starting to heat up and if you've been following along with us, your probably near the top of your pool. My thoughts on week 8, I look forward to your replies.

Arizona (1-5, Road: 0-3) 1:00 pm EDT
Baltimore (4-1, Home: 3-0) FOX
New Orleans (5-2, Road: 2-2) 1:00 pm EDT
St. Louis (0-6, Home: 0-3) FOX
This is a tough one. Minny showed some moxy with Ponder against GB. Carolina has
showed that with some passing leadership, they can still play. This one is a toss-up for and I'm not yet decided.
Carolina plays outside on natural grass. In the toss-up, I'll give the edge to the team playing on their natural surface.
Minnesota (1-6, Road: 0-3) 1:00 pm EDT
Carolina (2-5, Home: 2-2) FOX
Wow, another toss-up. Tenn looked abysmal vs Hou last week but did they look half as bad as Indy did? Tenn also plays
on natural grass. I'll take the home team with the different surface again.
Indianapolis (0-7, Road: 0-4) 1:00 pm EDT
Tennessee (3-3, Home: 2-1) CBS
This is the perfect trap game for the Giants. They have a very hard road after this game and tend to play down to their competition.
Still, the smart money picks the giants and I'm not going to vary from the pack on this one.
Miami (0-6, Road: 0-3) 1:00 pm EDT
NY Giants (4-2, Home: 2-1) CBS
Jacksonville (1-5, Road: 0-3) 1:00 pm EDT
Houston (4-3, Home: 2-1) CBS
Is Detroit a different team without Jahvid Best or was last week Atlanta's return to the top. It's one thing for Tebow to work some
magic against the Dolphins (who doesn't kick the extra point), it's another to do it against the Lions. Unless, of course, it's a Matt
Stafford-less Detroit Lions. My pick may flip=flop on this one if Detroit rolls with a backup QB.
Detroit (5-2, Road: 3-0) 4:05 pm EDT
Denver (2-4, Home: 1-2) FOX
Washington's a mess offensively and Buffalo can still put up points, can't see Wash keeping pace.
Washington (3-3, Road: 1-2) 4:05 pm EDT
Buffalo (4-2, Home: 3-0) FOX
Seattle wins games at home against = or < competition. They just do.
Cincinnati (4-2, Road: 2-1) 4:15 pm EDT
Seattle (2-4, Home: 1-1) CBS
SF is now a good team. I guess Harbaugh really can coach.
Cleveland (3-3, Road: 1-1) 4:15 pm EDT
San Francisco (5-1, Home: 2-1) CBS
Tough call here. I haven't seen Pitt play enough to know how good they are besides the #####-slapping they took from the
Ravens. They're 5-2, I don't if that's the result of improved play or an easy schedule.
New England (5-1, Road: 2-1) 4:15 pm EDT
Pittsburgh (5-2, Home: 3-0) CBS
I can't figure these 2 teams out. They're both awesome and suck simultaneously. Can Philly save their season at home?
Dallas (3-3, Road: 1-2) 8:20 pm EDT
Philadelphia (2-4, Home: 0-2) NBC

This is another toss up. SD coming off a big loss, KC off a big win. They both play on grass; Monday night is the big stage; yada yada yada. I'm going with the bigger name QB in this one though I have no other logic for it.
San Diego (4-2, Road: 1-2) 8:30 pm EDT
Kansas City (3-3, Home: 1-1) ESPN
