Here’s our top three picks for the suicide pool in Week Eight.
1. Dallas Cowboys vs. Seattle Seahawks
The Cowboys are coming off an impressive win over the Falcons and appear to have found their No. 1 receiver in Miles Austin. He’s taking pressure off of the other receivers and this is making Tony Romo and the offense that much more effective. The Seahawks on the other hand are reeling and have lost some key players for the season recently (LB Lofa Tatupu, LT Walter Jones). Expect a big win by Dallas on Sunday.
2. Chicago Bears vs. Cleveland Browns
Aside from their 14 point outburst in Pittsburgh, which happened to be a 13 point loss, the Browns have scored 15 total points in their other three road games. And it doesn’t get any easier this week as they head into Chicago to play anangry Bears team. Look for another futile showing from the Browns and a 20-point romp by Cutler and Co.
3. San Diego Chargers vs. Oakland Raiders
The Chargers finally got their act together with the 30-point demolishing of the Kansas City Chiefs. In that game, their defense attacked the QB and forced turnovers, something they hadn’t done up until that point. Expect another stellar showing by the Chargers when the lowly Raiders come to town and for JaMarcus Russell to once again find himself on the bench after multiple turnovers.
