WEEEEEEK 8 picks, TALLY-HO OLD CHAP! Cheerio, bangers and mash, and other stupid things that Americans think English people say

Ahhhhh, I didn't know that the London game would start at 9:30. FFS, as my English friends would ACTUALLY say (I'll let you go ahead and figure out what that acronym means). It's weird having an NFL game in action at the same time as my beloved Everton are in action, but that's the 2014 NFL for you. At any rate, since the Lions/Falcons game already started, I won't be picking that one. Just know that whoever wins it, I obviously would have picked that same exact result. Because I'm awesome.

Thursday 10/23

San Diego at Denver

I was actually pretty damned close on this one. I had:

Broncos 31
Chargers 24

Sunday 10/26

Buffalo at New York Jets

Should I go ahead and pick the Jets for once? Sure, why not.

Jets 20
Bills 17

St. Louis at Kansas City

Oh those tricky Rams! But their tricks won't save them this week.

Chiefs 30
Rams 20

Houston at Tennessee

The Oiler Bowl! Man, I miss the Oilers. Somehow Houston spawned two franchises, in a way, and neither of them are as interesting as the Houston Oilers, even after all this time.

Titans 27
Texans 21

Minnesota at Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay, I guess? I don't know or particularly care about this one.

Buccaneers 27
Vikings 17

Seattle at Carolina

The shine is officially OFF of Seattle. But still, I'll pick them, because they are desperate.

Seahawks 21
Carolina 20

Baltimore at Cincinnati

The Bengals are complete frauds.

Ravens 27
Bengals 17

Miami at Jacksonville

The Jags are looking a little frisky! But the Dolphins are (unfortunately) better.

Dolphins 24
Jaguars 17

Chicago at New England

The Patriots are going to win because they are the great Satan and hated by all. Brandon Marshall is REALLY going to be pissed after this one.

Patriots 31
Bears 20

Philadelphia at Arizona

BIRD FIGHT BIRD FIGHT!

Cardinals 28
Eagles 24

Oakland at Cleveland

Oakland sucks.

Browns 31
Raiders 17

Indianapolis at Pittsburgh

I'm still not sold on the Steelers.

Colts 27
Steelers 23

Green Bay at New Orleans

New Orleans is home...but Green Bay is better. Also, my son is looking like he wants to be a Green Bay fan. Which I'm fine with, because, screw the Jets, man.

Packers 38
Saints 31

Monday 10/27

Washington at Dallas

I know this is a great rivalry, but the Cowboys are just much better than the Redskins.

Cowboys 30
Redskins 21

Last week: 11-4
Season: 55-36
