an NFL loser's challenge, week 8

Houston.

*sigh* Well at least I got points for my pick, but I had a feeling I was making a mistake.

And I think it was Ryche that picked Buffalo... excellent pick, I wish I were half as cool as you.

It was a very good week for me. Picked the biggest loser (depending on the Monday night game) and went 4-0 against the spread. Woot for me.

Here are the standings after week 8. As pointed out by Radii, the big payoff came with Buffalo this week and two others than Ryche picked them, Solecismic and Primal.

I'll start the thread for week 9 a little later on...
