So, don’t ask me no questions
\nAnd I won’t tell you no lies

These week 8 NFL picks think your question about what games I plan to pick in week 8 is remarkably unfair. It is a gotcha question, from the biased media.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Look, I want to give you my week 8 NFL picks. That is why I write this column. So don’t go asking me what my week 8 NFL picks are. Frankly, my week 8 NFL picks are none of your business.<\/span><\/p>\n

The media actually has the nerve to think that\u00a0 the appropriate response to a question is to answer the question. Wrong again! The appropriate response to any question I do not like is to say the question is unfair.<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance I have long anticipated this next question about why do the Cleveland Browns stink. Just because you look at the scores of the game doesn’t give you a right to question their legitimacy as a great NFL team. Let me tell you some facts I just made up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh never mind. You are too stupid and unfair to understand whatzgonnahappen.

<\/span><\/p>\n

DOLPHINS AT PATRIOTS –<\/strong> Tough-talking Dan Campbell has transformed the Dolphins into a tough team. So the Patriots Mad Science Department (it exists) concocts a serum that goes in his coffee and makes him say, “Guys, let’s go easy on them because Tom Brady had a tough off-season.” Patriots 42, Dolphins 30<\/span><\/p>\n

LIONS VS CHIEFS AT LONDON –<\/strong> London calling. That phony NFL mania has bitten the dust. Seriously, they gave us the Beatles and we give them Lions versus Chiefs? Chiefs 26, Lions 20<\/p>\n

VIKINGS AT BEARS –<\/strong> The Vikings are slowly starting to make me believe while I am pure Bears atheist. Vikings 24, Bears 23 <\/span><\/p>\n

BUCCANEERS AT FALCONS –<\/strong> Tampa Bay’s secondary is among the best at making a quarterback look good. See Kurt Cousins for reference. Falcons 39, Buccaneers 21<\/span><\/p>\n

GIANTS AT SAINTS –<\/strong> Just as I was giving up on the Saints, they have pulled me back in. I like the Giants long-term better, but the Saints are rolling. Saints 29, Giants 28<\/span><\/p>\n

49ers AT RAMS –<\/strong> Todd Gurley is now the best running back in the NFL. The 49ers are the the league’s biggest mess. Rams 30, 49ers 20<\/span><\/p>\n

CARDINALS AT BROWNS –<\/strong> Chris Johnson is having a great season. The Browns can’t stop the run. Add it up, and my math says Johnson never gets going. Yeah, I hate math enough to make me think that Travis Benjamin will have a better game than Johnson.\u00a0 Browns 31, Cardinals 27<\/span><\/p>\n

BENGALS AT STEELERS –<\/strong> Big Ben is back. The Bengals are undefeated. Something’s got to give. <\/span><\/p>\n

CHARGERS AT RAVENS –<\/strong> The Ravens are horrible. The Chargers are terrible. But Philip Rivers is awesome. Chargers 36, Ravens 20<\/span><\/p>\n

TITANS AT TEXANS –<\/strong> This is the old Oilers versus the new Oilers, except neither one is named the Oilers. Thus, this game has no octane. Texans 10, Titans 9<\/span><\/p>\n

JETS AT RAIDERS \u2013<\/strong> Derek Carr and Amari make Darrell Revis look old on at least one play. Raiders 20, Jets 11.<\/span><\/p>\n

SEAHAWKS AT COWBOYS \u2013<\/strong> Russell Wilson and God come to a consensus that that Jerry Jones and Greg Hardy deserve this. Seahawks 29, Cowboys 3<\/span><\/p>\n

PACKERS AT BRONCOS –<\/strong> I have now decided that I am rooting for a 18-0 Packers versus an 18-0 Patriots in the Super Bowl. This is one step on that path. Packers 29, Broncos 17<\/span><\/p>\n

COLTS AT PANTHERS –<\/strong> So, who wants Andrew Luck instead of Cam Newton? Panthers 35, Colts 22<\/span><\/p>\n

BYE AT BILLS –<\/strong> Every time that Tyrod Taylor tries on a super hero costume, it doesn’t fit. <\/span><\/p>\n

BYE AT JAGUARS –<\/strong> Blake Bortles talks to his Blaine Gabbert poster the way that Richard Nixon used to talk to the portrait of Abraham Lincoln.<\/span><\/p>\n

BYE AT EAGLES –<\/strong> Chip Kelly visits the campus of USC.<\/span><\/p>\n

BYE AT REDSKINS –<\/strong> Kirk Cousins signs a Kirk Cousins photo and then brags that he has a Kirk Cousins autograph. Next to his name, he writes, “Best week ever.”<\/span><\/p>\n
