It is already Week 8 of the NFL season and there are some great matchups on the docket this weekend. There is the chance for some upsets as well as some offensive shootouts. Want to find out who win in Week 8? Click to find out.

San Diego Chargers vs. Denver Broncos (-7.5)

Coming off an impressive dismantling of the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7, Peyton Manning and the Broncos offense look to keep the train rolling in a divisional matchup with the Chargers. I see a very entertaining Thursday night game, but in the end, I see Manning and the Broncos winning this divisional matchup.
Broncos 34, Chargers 27

Detroit Lions (-4) vs. Atlanta Falcons

Detroit has become one of the most underrated teams in the NFL, who now instead of depending on a high-powered offense, are relying on the number one ranked defense to get them out to an early lead in the NFC North. Despite Calvin Johnson still out of the lineup, I see Matthew Stafford and the rest of the Lions offense to make just enough plays to win this road game.
Lions 24, Falcons 20

Baltimore Ravens vs. Cincinnati Bengals (-1.5)

The Bengals' defense has taken a massive step backward this season by allowing the second most yards-per-game in the NFL this season. I see the Ravens' offense being able to move the ball consistently this weekend both on the ground and through the air leading too a fairly convincing Ravens win.
Ravens 27, Bengals 20

Chicago Bears vs. New England Patriots (-6.5)

What happened to the Bears this season? Once pegged as a potential representative of the NFC in the Super Bowl, the team has been hampered by turnovers by quarterback Jay Cutler, as well as terrible defensive play. With his game being in Foxboro and Tom Terrific starting to hit his stride, the Patriots should take advantage of Chicago's injury-riddled defense to a double-digit New England win.
Patriots 31, Bears 20

Miami Dolphins (-5-5) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars do have some talent on both sides of the ball, but their inexperience shows up when they play on Sundays. This weekend I expect a big day from Lamar Miller and Mike Wallace against the inconsistent Jacksonville defense, which will lead too an easy win for the Phins.
Dolphins 24, Jaguars 14

Minnesota Vikings vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-3)

I see a bounce-back week for the Vikings offense, as they play a 32nd ranked Bucs defense that has allowed multiple TD passes in five of the teams six games this season.
Vikings 24, Buccaneers 21

Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets (-4.5)

The addition of Percy Harvin has been the main talk for the Jets, but I do not expect him to play much this weekend due to a limited knowledge of the playbook. Look for the Bills defense to harass Geno Smith on a regular basis leading to a low-scoring, Bills win.
Bills 17, Jets 14

Seattle Seahawks (-4.5) vs. Carolina Panthers

How many people saw the Seahawks starting 3-3? Yeah, I did not think so. After dealing with the distraction of the Percy Harvin trade last week, look for Seattle's running game to get back on track against the suddenly sieve Panthers run-defense.
Seahawks 27, Panthers 21

Houston Texans (-1) vs. Tennessee Titans

The Texans should get number one pick Jadeveon Clowney back this week giving them some much needed help along the Texans front-seven. The Titans may get Jake Locker back this weekend, but with his inconsistencies, I expect the Texans to win in a fairly close game.
Texans 27, Titans 21

St. Louis Rams vs. Kansas City Chiefs (-6.5)

Jamaal Charles is matched up against a Rams run defense giving up 145 rushing yards per-game, which seems to give the Chiefs a big advantage this weekend. Look for Charles to have well over 100 total yards from scrimmage leading to a low-scoring Chiefs win.
Chiefs 20, Rams 10

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Arizona Cardinals (-2.5)

The Eagles have started off slowly in the first half this season, leaning on the offense to bring them back. I do not think the Cardinals are a team they can fall behind early against. With a strong running game, and veteran quarterback play, I see the Cardinals winning an entertaining game.
Cardinals 27, Eagles 24

Indianapolis Colts (-3) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Andrew Luck has played like a man possess early this season and has cemented himself in the top-three of the MVP race at the halfway point. Now a matchup with the weak Steelers defense look for another massive day for Luck and Co.
Colts 31, Steelers 21

Oakland Raiders vs. Cleveland Browns (-7)

The Raiders have a real shot at going 0-16 this season. I see the Browns bouncing back this weekend, calming the chants for Johnny Football for at least one more week.
Browns 21, Raiders 17

Green Bay Packers vs. New Orleans Saints (-1.5)

I think this is going to be the most exciting game of the weekend. This is a must-win game for the 2-4 Saints if they want to get back into the playoff picture.
New Orleans 38, Packers 31

Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys (-9.5)

How long can the magic continue for the Cowboys? Playing third-string quarterback Colt McCoy is not going to slow down the juggernaut that is the Cowboys. Dallas will win big.
