NFL Picks Week 8: Dallas Cowboys and Teams That Will Lose Big

The following three NFL teams will prove that they are not that good and will be on the outside looking in when the playoffs start. 

Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys were able to beat up on the St. Louis Rams last week at home. They got a great performance from their rookie running back, DeMarco Murray, a turnover-free day from quarterback Tony Romo and a great performance from their defense.

It was one of the first times that the whole team played a complete game, with little to complain about. 

But, this week, all of those good feelings that came from that win last week will come crashing down in their game against Philadelphia. The Eagles can be run on, as it has been proven in the Eagles' losses to Buffalo, San Francisco and Atlanta this year. 

But, this game has a Tony Romo epic collapse written all over it. 

The Cowboys will find their way into a close game with the Eagles for three quarters, but a Romo interception, or two, will be the reason why this team loses this week.

Predicted Score: Eagles 27, Cowboys 13

St. Louis Rams

This one is an easy one to predict, as the Saints are playing on another level of great football right now, while the Rams are playing some terrible football.

Last week, the Saints dropped the Indianapolis Colts, a winless team like the Rams, 62-7. Now, this week, if Rams quarterback Sam Bradford is out again with an injury, it could have the same end result.

Now, it won’t be as bad, but the Saints will run the score up again.

Predicted Score: Saints 49, Rams 10

Denver Broncos

The Broncos played some awful football last week against Miami. If they play the same way against any other team in the NFL, they do not come back after being down 15-0 to score 18 unanswered points. 

This week, against a really good Detroit Lions team that is hungry to bounce back from two losses in a row, the Tim Tebow-led Broncos will not have the chance to come back like they did against Miami. 

Predicted Score: Lions 38, Broncos 6

Three predictions for teams that will get decimated by teams better than them. If you are a gambler, take all of these winners to cover their lines.
