Week 8 Preview

Game of the Week: I have to say Vikings @ Packers. It may not be the best game, but with Favre heading back to Green Bay, that is pretty big in it self. When fans start to it as Favreageddon, you know its big. I am most interested to see how the fans react. I imagine their will be quite a few cheers and at least as many jeers. As for the game, I think the Packers win it in a close game. Jared Allen will not be nearly as good outside on grass. I also think Rodgers will outplay Favre. I'm picking Green Bay, but hoping Favre scores a TD and does a Lambeau Leap.

Worst game of the week: Jaguars vs. Titans. This has nothing exciting, except to see if the Titans can win a game...and maybe since VY gets to start this game. But I think the only reason you start him is to really find out that he is not your long term QB and you have to draft someone else. I am going to say Tennessee gets their first win of the year. I thinkthat they will finally come together and play good enough to beat a bad Jaguars team. VY might have an ok game because no one has seen him play and no one has really recent tape on him.

Lock of the week: Colts over the 49ers. Alex Smith is starting and that might help the Niners downfield attack, but their are few teams who stand a chance against the Colts and the Niners are not one of them. The only thing I worry about for the Colts is Frank Gore, but Bob Sanders is back and I like the Colts D with him back.

Upset alert: The best upset chance I see is the Dolphins over the Jets. Maybe not a huge upset, but they are the underdogs. Its in New York and will be different weather than they are used to, the Jets should be mad at how the last game ended. I think that Henne will outplay the Sanchize and that will be the difference. Dolphins by 3.
