The NFL Blog: 2011 Week 8 Betting Lines

Last Week: Vs. Spread: (7-5-1); Straight Up: (8-5)

Season: Vs. Spread: (49-49-5); Straight Up: (68-35)

Week 7 Review: Well the week certainly didn’t end well for me with the Colts getting raped, murdered, and mutilated and then the Ravens choking, but it was solid overall. I won’t complain about being .500 ATS in the NFL after 7 weeks.

Week 8 Preview: This looks like a better week of action. There are 6 more teams on byes and the early schedule on Sunday is weak. However, things should be interesting later on Sunday, with Detroit at Denver and the Pats and Steelers going at it. Finally the primetime games have something to offer this week, with Dallas and Philly on Sunday night and San Diego at KC on MNF. Unfortunately

I have to take a break from comments again this week. I apologize. The World Series, work, lack of sleep, and other commitments have slowed me down again this week.
