Lost last 2 wagers on MnF to have my second losing week of the season (3-5) record. Frustrating because Detroit backdoored me like a gay cowboy 
Let's improve this week...
Week 8 Picks:
Miami +2
The Jets surprised a lot of people last week and hung tough with the Patriots, losing by a mere 3 point in Overtime at Foxboro. That was a huge loss for NY, both emotionally draining and in the standings it drops the Jets from a potential 1st place, down to tied for last. Jets recent success is large in part to Shonn Greene being seemingly rejuvenated and rushing like the beast that many billed him to be. I believe this Dolphins RushD will stifle Greene early n often and if you've watched Mark Sanchez, he certainly hasn't been horrible, there's just a whole lot of holes in his game and I believe Miami will find ways to exploit those. With the running game not being as effective, this will allow Miami to vary their pass coverages and confuse Mark. I'm eyeing about 3 total turnovers from the Jets. Reggie Bush could have a big day as well and Bess should reel in 7 catches n possibly a TD with the Jets maligned DBackfield struggling to matchup after Cro/Hartline. Kelley's minor emergence does concern me but I believe we will be able to withstand a good game from him. Prediction is Miami 27 Jets 16. (Laying 3 Units) I like the Miami ML but it's only +110 at my book so I'd rather take the 2 points, if you can get +120 or higher, take it!
Carolina +7.5
I liked this pick before I heard about the change to a more power rushing attack but I liked it a lot more once I heard that. My man JStew is a legit every down back but having a change of pace/3rd down back as talented as DeAngelo Williams is awesome. If Carolina kicks their gimmicky offense of Pistol Formations and Shotgun Handoffs, they will most definitely be a better Rushing Offense but will this translate to a better all around Offense? I believe it will, I think the Running game will be very effective and this will allow Cam to pull the ball back n run Play Action much more effectively. Cam has a huge arm but I think some simple "catch n run" type passes will benefit his confidence and the play action will help make this possible. I do not like this matchup at all for Carolina's "new" offensive scheme but I definitely think 7.5 is far too much and there will be value in Carolina until the true effectiveness of their new power running game is identified. I could see Carolina controlling the clock more and I think their D will step up and force some Turnovers, possible "Bad-Cutler" sighting. Close outcome with a potential Panthers Win.

Philadelphia -3
Atlanta will not go undefeated and this is a very tough road game for them. Any dope can tell you Andy Reid is undefeated coming off his Bye but I also like this matchup of Eagles D vs Falcons O, with a superb defensive backfield in Philly, I believe they will be able to slow down Atl. Now slow down is not stop, lol, the Falcons will get theirs but this Eagles Offense will also have some success. Atlantas D has been pretty solid all season but I believe Andy Reid will have a gameplan to take advantage of their porous rush defense. Shady McCoy is a top 5 back and I think Andy will use him as such. If for some awful reason, Reid has one of those games where the running game is effective but he only calls McCoys number under 15 times, my flat screen and/or windows may not survive the afternoon (and I know you all know those kinda games! LOL... Harbaugh does it sometimes with Ray Rice as well!

St Louis caught its first home loss lastwk vs Green Bay. Other than the fact that GB is hot right now, that really has no relevance for this weeks game. The Rams have a couple of WRs who can get behind a defense and NE has allowed some big plays this season. StL defense has been much improved and I believe they will be able to maintain the rushing attack, as well as Brady n Co. minus Hernandez n possibly Gronk (at least hell be a lil banged up at worst). Not too much insight on this game, more of a gut play. (Laying 1.5 Units)

For now, that's all I'm going to post but there will be more plays to come. I've been bouncing back n forth on Seattle/Detroit but I'm now leaning Seattle but its currently not live at my book to bet and I'm not sure if I like it enough to be "play worthy" yet. I also am deciding on NYG/Dal, as well as NO/Den.
Best of Luck to ALL!!!
