We're nearly at the halfway point of the NFL season. There have been some surprising risers and shocking fallers while the Patriots remain the lone constant in this cold world. Still, we persist, and will continue to make our picks.

Week 7 was a tough one for season-leader Ryan Glasspiegel, who went 2-8, but we got great weeks for Brian Giuffra and Stephen Douglas, who both went 7-3, and especially so for Ryan Phillips, who led the pack at 8-2. Here are our NFL picks and predictions for Week 8.
