Hear the song 'TERRIFIED', by 'THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS' from their cd 'THE DOWNWARD ROAD' at http://sportsblognflbybubba.podomatic.com

And now to my picks for NFL Week 8. I Will Not pick St Louis over NEW ENGLAND at N.E. I'll also take the PATRIOTS to cover the - 6.5 point spread in this one. I also Will Not pick the Bengals over the TEXANS at HOUSTON although this could also be the upset of the week. Or should I say (Fixx) of the week? However, I am picking BALTIMORE over the Raiders 20 - 13 as my BONUS LOCK instead. My other BONUS LOCK this week is the EAGLES over the Falcons 30 - 17 covering the - 8.5 points.

In my 50 - 50 games I'll take the PITTSBURGH over the Giants 30 - 26 and SAN DIEGO over the Saints 31 - 27. In my (pretend you don't read these next, imaginary) Fake - Out picks, l like the COWBOYS over the Buccaneers 24 - 23, the COLTS over the Titans 20 - 17 and I would not even be surprised if the DOLPHINS upset the Bills this week. HUH? (John McCain)

And now although this next team usually makes me 'TERRIFIED' trying to pick their games.

My LOCK N' LOAD for NFL Week 8 is the NEW YORK JETS over the Kansas City Chiefs 26 - 13
