NFL Picks Week 8: Ravens, Texans, Chargers and More Locks to Win

After watching the Jacksonville Jaguars dismantle a Baltimore Ravens team that many feel are Super Bowl bound on Monday Football, it has become hard to feel confident about calling a team a lock to win the Super Bowl XLVI in February.

If there was ever a lock to win it would have been the Ravens over the rookie-led Jaguars on national TV, but somehow even that didn't work out.

All that means for those picking games is that we all have to face a reality check.

Perhaps the "Any Given Sunday" theory in sports is indeed a live and well, and I think the Jaguars proved that Monday night.

That being said, I firmly believe that order will be returned to the NFL in Week 8, and that is why I think these teams are locks to win:

Baltimore Ravens

While I may seem stupid for trusting the Ravens to bounce back this week after that horrendous loss, I firmly believe the Ravens and more importantly Ray Lewis will not a allow this team to lose two in a row. Sometimes you have to feel bad for the team facing a good team after a bad loss, and right now I feel bad for the Arizona Cardinals going into Baltimore.

Houston Texans

Arian Foster is back and ready to go after last week's 234 all-purpose yards against the Titans. A strong Foster makes the Texans very dangerous in an AFC South that is basically theirs for the taking. The Jaguars just beat the Ravens in an upset of epic proportions. That being said, I think they are going to be in for a letdown game against a very talented Houston offense at home.

San Diego Chargers

The Chargers against the Chiefs is always a big-time rivalry game. The Chiefs have been banged up all year though, and the Chargers are coming off a big loss to the Jets. This game is on ESPN's Monday Night Football and even though the Chiefs will be pumped up at home, the Chargers absolutely need this game.

Tennessee Titans

There was a time where nobody in their right mind would pick the Titans over the Indianapolis Colts. Unfortunately, without Peyton Manning, I don't see the Colts winning a game this season.
