We’ve got a way to go before I’m booking my flight to Vegas, but we all hit nine or more games in week eight. weekly-picks

Maybe we can all salvage some dignity the second half of the season and show we actually know a little something about this game.

Tony and Rich led with 11. Andy hit 10. Tony has taken on the season-long lead with Rich and Andy visible in the rear-view mirror.

Game of the Week: Green Bay at Carolina – Green Bay looked bad against Denver. Can’t let the slide go too far – Minnesota is an inferior team at this point, but the Vikes are just one game behind in the standings. Carolina seemed like a paper unbeaten, but they just keep winning. This game could be huge for playoff rankings and confidence for both squads.

Game of the Weak: Chicago at San Diego – Lucky Monday Night Football. The 2-6 Chargers, minus Keenan Allen, versus the 2-5 Bears, minus Matt Forte. Neither team looked like a major contender heading into the season, but do you think anyone thought it would be this bad?
