Week Eight NFL Picks

[RJ]

Buffalo (2-4) at New York Jets (1-6) - 4:05 pm (Sheridan's Line - Jets
by 3)

Buffalo beat the Ravens last week. They've scored the fewest points in
the AFC. It's interesting, though, that this team could easily be 4-2,
because their losses against Denver in Week One and Dallas in Week
Five were both games they really should have won. Change just one play
in each of those games, and the Bills would be looking like a possible
Wild Card team. The Jets were defeated by the Bengals last week, their
fourth loss in a row. Their defense has given up the second-most
points in the AFC. Chad Pennington will remain the Jets starting QB,
at least for another week. I'm going with the upset.

RJ's Pick - BUFFALO BY 3

Houston (3-4) at San Diego (3-3) - 4:05 pm (Sheridan's Line - No Line)

Houston lost a shootout last week to Tennessee, 38-36. They've now
lost two in a row, and any playoff hopes they had after starting the
season 2-0 are quickly slipping away. Ahman Green's knee injury has
really crippled Houston's running game. The Chargers had a bye last
week. They will be practicing for this week's game in Arizona due to
the severe wildfires in Southern California. It's hard to say whether
the combination of a week off, a major natural disaster, and practice
on a strange field will effect their game. But I do know that the
Chargers have won their last two games, both against division rivals,
by a combined score of 69-17. And I also know that San Diego should be
a big favorite in this matchup, but there is no line offered for this
game. Hmmm...

San Diego is favored by 9�.

Yeah, I see that some folks are offering a line on that contest. But
Danny Sheridan isn't (or at least he wasn't at the time I write this
column), and he's the guy whose lines I use.

The only reason the game wasn't on the board was because of the
uncertainty of the game site due to the fires. I don't think Sheridan
makes his own lines, because if he does, it's remarkable how much they
agree with the Vegas consensus right down to the OFF games.
