Thread: Upset of the Week: Week 8

No way in the world is Chicago going to lose to the Browns, nor will SF win over Indy.

I'll take the Broncos in an upset over Baltimore.

St. Louis over Detroit.

I don't consider the Broncos winning an upset. I'd be more upset if they lose.

My upset for the week is Oak over SD.

It's hard for me to say this, but hopefully Oakland over SD!!

What's so unlikely about that? True Oakland sucks but SD isn't playing great either. The few times that JaMarcus Russell has looked good this season is when he has plenty of time to throw.

Of course he still sometimes throws picks for no visible reason even then. But, the Chargers defense won't challenge him. He should have time to throw the ball and has some decent WRs to throw to.

The Chargers pretty much suck outside Phillip Rivers and Antonio Gates. But, the Raiders can put Namdi Asomugha to take away either Gates or Vincent Jackson. Asomugha is now the best young cover CB in the NFL and can totally shut down a WR all day.

I wouldn't ever PREDICT a Raiders win over anybody (except the Chiefs), but they COULD easily win, and it wouldn't be that big of an upset. Especially since both teams are in the division and division matchups tend to be close, no matter what the disparity between teams.

16 1/2 pt underdogs would be an upset, I could give two shits what you think!!

I'm going with Cleveland to beat Chicago and send them into a tailspin...

It would be an "upset" if the Clowns offense scored a td in this game.....let alone actually win at Chicago....
