NFL Week 8: Picks, predictions and more

We are almost to the midway point of the NFL season, and the contenders are starting to separate themselves from the considerable pack.

Miami Dolphins at Baltimore Ravens (-3)

Do you love offense? Do you love good quarterback play? Then throw your television set out the window, because it’s the Ravens (3-4) and Dolphins (4-2) on Thursday night!

Pick: Baltimore 18, Miami 16

Minnesota Vikings (-10.5) at Cleveland Browns

At what point does London start war with us for sending over crappy teams? Last week, the Cardinals. This week, the Browns (0-7), who are somehow worse than their 1-15 outfit from last year. The Vikings (5-2) are going to have a party.

Pick: Minnesota 27, Cleveland 9

San Francisco 49ers at Philadelphia Eagles (-14)

The 49ers (0-7) are playing hard, but they simply aren’t talented enough to win many games. The Eagles (6-1) suffered two big losses last week with Jason Peters and Jordan Hicks going down for the year, but they remain a favorite to reach the Super Bowl.

Pick: Philadelphia 24, San Francisco 13

Oakland Raiders at Buffalo Bills (-2.5)

This is a very important game in the AFC wild card picture. The Raiders (3-4) could both get to .500 and earn a big tiebreaker, while the Bills (4-2) can all but put Oakland down for the count. Should come down to the final minutes.

Pick: Buffalo 23, Oakland 20
