Week 8 NFL Picks

8:46 PM Fri, Oct 30, 2009 |

Its the halfway point in the regular season as it is for us here at the 11 Sports office. At the start of the campaign, all of us, like all NFL teams had hope. But, then reality soon hits and we all realize how good some teams are...and how horribly bad others are...kind of like our pick abilities...

So, here are some comparison's between a handful of NFL teams and us here in the Sports office.

Matt Musil is in first place, therefore, he can be compared to the New Orleans Saints. While they are dominating now, no one knew if they had what it took to win the whole thing, but they have proved to have...



Astros got it right with Brad Mills

Introducing your new Houston Astros manager...Boston Red Sox bench coach Brad Mills...

What do you think?

Well, for an organization that has made some questionable moves over the past couple of years, this might be a good start in the task of turning this thing around...

TEXANS WIN!!!! Final Score 24-21

Well, that was way more interesting than it probably should have been.

Texans built a 21-0 lead and they saw it almost slip away. Crazy second half but they pull it out improving to 4-3 on the season.

Houston 24, San Francisco 21, 2:50 left in game

Another SF possession and yet again, another touchdown from Alex Smith to Vernon Davis...this time from 23 yards out...

They have made some adjustments in the 2nd half and found a weakness in that defense for sure...

FIELD GOAL TEXANS!!! Houston 24, SF 14, 7:16 left in game

You have to ask yourself...why don't the Texans throw it to Andre Johnson a little more? BEcause, if it wasn't for his catch, that drive would have been dead...

The Texans had the first down deep in Niner territory but a run, a sack, then another run on third and long followed by a personnal foul penalty set up the 50-yard FG attempt by Kris Brown and since he is so $$$, he knocked it through...

Defense needs a big stop on the rejuvinated 49ers offense now...

Houston 21, San Francisco 14, 12:35 left in game

Things are getting interesting and the Texans defense is still in the locker room...

Slaton's fumble led to another scoring drive for the 49ers making the score 21-14 as the game winds down. Vernon Davis and Alex Smith have torched the Texans defense after Shaun Hill was inefective in the first half.

Texans though have the ball and they are driving...a great catch my Andre Johnson has put them into a great position to try and put the game away...

Slaton fumbles...AGAIN!!! 1:25 left in the 3rd

I think it was the movie "The Replacements" in which Orlando Jones was asked to put some stick-em on his hands because he could catch a football...

You think that stuff is available for Steve Slaton? The running back has lost 4 fumbles this season, and lost it 8 times this season, by far the most of any other running back in the NFL. They tried running the Gauntlet with him during the week, well, they might have to use something else to try and get him to stop losing the ball...

49ers have it again...and driving...Houston still leads it 21-7...
