Welcome to my free football predictions for week 8 of the 2009 NFL season. I do weekly predictions and my won loss record is at 72 and 27 at this point. This is not counting the Monday night game as I do my predictions before that game is played. As you can see here I went 9-2 in week 7 (not counting Mon) and I even won my office football pool.
And a football office pool is what these free week 8 NFL predictions are good for. I do straight picks with no point spreads for you football gamblers. If you do however want me to handicap a point spread for you, then leave it in the comments below. I will get back to you shortly there. Now on to the football game picks for Sunday November 1st and Monday November 2nd, 2009. Just click my name to pull up my profile of other 2009 pro football articles and to see my free game predictions for week 9, next week.
Seattle at Dallas
Julius Jones returns to Dallas where he was replaced by Marion Barber and Felix Jones. Unfortunately the Seahawks are pretty bad this season and banged up. Dallas is trying to avoid a letdown after beating a good Atlanta team. My week 8 NFL prediction is Dallas 24, Seattle 14.
St. Louis at Detroit
Battle of two very bad teams with the Lions and Rams playing each other. The Lions defense may make Mark Bulger look like Kurt Warner in the "Greatest Show on Turf" days. I just don't think the Rams have as much "Want to" as the Lions. Detroit wins a scoring fest, 42 to 35.
Cleveland at Chicago
The Browns have the worst coaching staff in football, and one of the worst teams as well. Chicago was looking decent until the Bengals slapped their booty for them in week 7. Look for the Bears to rebound a bit and win 24 to 10.
San Francisco at Indianapolis
Alex Smith came off the bench to have his best game as a 49er in my opinion, although in a loss. The Colts are looking good and Payton Manning is the best quarterback in the game. Look for the Colts to win 28 to 17.
Miami at the New York Jets
I am wondering how much letting the Saints come back for a win will hurt the Dolphins. The Jets spanked a bad Raiders team after dropping 3 straight. When in doubt I go with the home team. The Jets will defeat the Dolphins 17 to 14.
Denver at Baltimore
Free NFL Picks Week 8 for the 2009 Season
The undefeated Denver Broncos come to Baltimore to take on the 3-3 Ravens. Denver is winning with defense, and the Ravens are actually showing a little more offense than usual. I think the travel from West to East may hurt Denver and they will need a big day out of Orton to win. I just have a feeling about the Ravens wanting to make a statement. Baltimore 24, Denver 17.
New York Giants at Philadelphia
I think the Giants are the 2nd best team in the NFC behind the Saints., and they will be mad after losing to the Cards. Philly isn't even in my top 5 at this point. Giants run one down the Eagles throat, 17 to 13.
Houston at Buffalo
The Bills did beat the Panthers in Carolina but that is fairly easy to do. Houston has been up and down all year but they will be up this week. The Houston Texans whip the Buffalo Bills 28 to 10. If Andre Johnson is too injured to play, then 17 to 10.
Jacksonville at Tennessee
The Jaguars have a decent offense at times but their play is hot or cold from week to week. The Titans are the most disappointing team in the NFL for the 2009 season. Jeff Fisher caught some hell for wearing a Peyton Manning jersey which I found stupid. The Titans get a win 24 to 17 over the Jaguars.
Oakland at San Diego
The Raiders have the 2nd worst coaching staff (and worst front office) and the Chargers have talent but no desire to win. The Raiders sometimes play division rivals close, but I don't see it happening this week. Chargers 27, Raiders 14.
Minnesota at Green Bay
This is it fans, Brett Favre returns to the probably not frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. Favre comes home to play the Packers in Green Bay. A few weeks ago Brett Favre and the Vikings defeated the Packers 30 to 23. The Vikings are coming off their first loss (to the Steelers) and are a little banged up. Brett Favre will be stoked to be playing his revenge game at Lambeau Field.
Aaron Rodgers is having a good season and will also be pumped for another shot at his former mentor, Brett Favre. The question will be can the Packers defense stop Adrian Peterson?
Prediction for the Vikings at the Packers in week 8 of the 2009 NFL season. I think Rodgers will toast a banged up Vikings secondary and the Packers win 28 to 24.
Carolina at Arizona
A rematch from the NFC playoffs in 2008 between the crappy Panthers and semi crappy Cardinals. The Panthers struggled in their two wins and lost to a bad Buffalo team. Arizona spanks Carolina by the score of 27 to 14.
Atlanta at New Orleans
The Falcons showed themselves to be a little overrated in week 7. The Saints just refuse to lose and came from 21 down to beat the Dolphins. Atlanta can't get their running game going like they would need this week. Saints 24, Falcons 17.
