2016 Week #8

It appears to be an interesting week of games this week in the NFL, and boy, could the league use it.  Much has been written and said about the low ratings across the board for the league this season, with reasoning being anything from the presidential race sucking the energy out of any other entertainment to terrible matchups to the possible start of a general decline of interest.  I tend to believe that compelling games will boost the numbers back up, but time will tell.  Here are our Week 8 picks, with 5 head-to-head games for Jay and me to battle:
