Peter King Week 8 picks (1 Viewer)

[Infoman]

Baltimore (4-2) at New Orleans (5-1)
I don't think a bye week and Brian Billick taking over the offensive play-calling will amount to a miracle drug for the Ravens, not with Steve McNair playing like he's 46.

New Orleans 20, Baltimore 10

I agree with King. One word comes to mind when I think Baltimor offense: anemia.

20-10 is a very fair & legitimate prediction. I'll go along with that.

I saw that, isn't this the first time he picked us? I think that is a good pick.

I don't think we're going to see the same old Ravens this week and our guys better not get overconfident, look at what happened to Philly.

I definitely agree with King here. Billick may improve the Raven offense some, but not dramatically. You need to have some talent to go along with good play calling.

The Ravens have one of the elite tight ends in the league in Todd Heap, outside of that you will be hard pressed to find any playmakers. If the Saints cover Heap well (not an easy task, but just dont let him explode) & dont allow Lewis to get bruising yards on first down, putting them in third and long its gonna be a long day for the Ravens O no matter whos calling the plays.

I like he said Atlanta, Bucs, and Panthers were all set to lose... Big help if all plays out true.

I totally agree......I'm on board with another thread about how this game scares me. I hope all the prognasticators are right and the Saints win. One thing I am confident about is that they a) be well prepared and b) will give it their all. It just remains to be seen as to whether this translates into a win.

 

[Hair On Fire]

I'm acually concerned he picked us, I liked it better when no one gave us a chance to win.

2006 McNair is still 2006 McNair. I'm not afraid one bit. Billick has never done anything offensively without Moss and Carter. Heap can't do everything himself.

+1 ...gotta agree with that!

What I like even more is how all the "experts" are calling this one of the top games of the week. That shows respect.

 

[Funluvncriminal]

That 1 td is prolly gonna be a defesive one.

Its about time! Peter King only picked the Saints to win against Tampa Bay.

Uh oh. We struggled that game.
