KEITH GROLLER'S NFL Picks Week 8

FROM KEITH GROLLER

It's finally Halloween.

I am not sure when Halloween became a month-long celebration like Christmas, but the barrage of decorations, parades, Trick-or-Treat nights and parties comes to an end tonight.

And then we'll start seeing Christmas decorations all over the place come Monday morning.

For Halloween, I'd like to look like a smart guy with my NFL picks or maybe a smiling, big winner at the sports books in Vegas.

That would be a real nice disguise for someone who continues to be amazed at how bad his NFL picks are week after week.

I was just 7-7 outright last week, 10-4 on the over/under numbers, but a ridiculous 4-10 against the spread.

For the season, I am 53-50 outright, 46-52-5 against the spread, 55-47-1 on the over/under numbers. All lousy, like virtually everybody in the NFC.

At least my World Series pick of Giants in 7 looks like it still has a chance.

Here we go with the Week 8 selections:

At London (why do we need to play games overseas?) San Francisco (-2.5) 30, Denver 20 -- over-41

DALLAS (-6.5) 23, Jacksonville 14 --- under 43.5

DETROIT (-2.5) 24, Washington 19 -- under 44.5

NY JETS (-6) 26, Green Bay 21 -- over 42

Carolina (+2.5) 20, ST. LOUIS 16 --- under 37

Miami (+1) 30, CINCINNATI 20 -- over 44

KC CHIEFS (-7) 24, Buffalo 19 -- under 45

SAN DIEGO (-4.5) 31, Tennessee 17 -- over 44.5

ARIZONA (-4.5) 20, Tampa Bay 17 -- under 39.5

Seattle (+2.5) 21, OAKLAND 17 -- under-42

NEW ENGLAND (-5,5) 24, Minnesota 17 -- under 44

SUNDAY NIGHT

Pittsburgh (+1.5) 23, NEW ORLEANS 20 -- under 44.5
