NFL Week 8

Atlanta Falcons +3 **2 Units
I know the Falcons have been bad this year, but they haven't been Arizona Cardinals bad. The Falcons still have Matt Ryan at the helm who has lead Atlanta to a 3rd ranked passing offence. Meanwhile, the Cardinals have given up over 30 points in their last 2 games. If the Falcons lose this one, Mike Smith might as well just pack his bags now.

Patriots/Dolphins Over 45
Main reason behind this pick: Tom Brady is due for a big game. Last week the Patriots got shafted by a bizarre overtime call that cost them the game. This week, the Patriots are at home, against a division rival... enter Tom Terrific. The Patriots overs have been hit or miss this year, but this week I think Belichick and the boys are going to come out flying at home.

Seattle Seahawks -12
Normally I hate big spreads in the NFL. These are professional athletes representing billion dollar organizations and it's a business, not a college party. Having said that, the St Louis Rams are hurting. Sam Bradford, who I think is inching closer and closer to "bust-status," has gone down and is out for the season. Now they have to play Seattle, a divisional opponent... with a spread under 2 tds, I like the Hawks.
