NFL Week 8 PIcks: Three Dogs, a Coin Flip, and a Shot in the Dark

Examining the Week 8 schedule, dp uncovers triple dog potential. That's right: three underdogs will win outright.

In the first upset special, Cincinnati will knock off four-point favorite Pittsburgh in a high-scoring affair.

Second, the Buffalo Bills, last week's underdog darlings by defeating Baltimore, look to keep their overachieving streak alive at the Jets (-3).

Third, Green Bay travels to Denver (-3) Monday night to pile on more mile-high frustration for Colorado sports fans, who will still be reeling from the Rockies' fall from Rocktober to Rockedtober. (Just as dp predicted, it's all Soxtoberfest this fall.)

Fourth, Philly will win a coinflip at Minnesota. Even the Vegas oddsmakers can't figure this one out, as some sportsbooks have the Vikings and others have the Eagles as a one-point favorite. Either way, Philly's the pick.

Fifth, in dp's Sunday afternoon hangover shot (of Bourbon St.) in the dark, the Saints will win at San Francisco.

Short and sweet, yet packing some wallop. Just like Maker's Mark.
