NFL Week 8 Picks: Which Teams Are Too Awful to Inspire Confidence?

The NFL currently has three winless teams and two of them have absolutely no chance to win in Week 8.

While the Indianapolis Colts (0-7) aren't likely to get a win, they at least have a puncher's chance against an up-and-down Tennessee Titans squad. However, the Miami Dolphins (0-6) and St. Louis Rams (0-6) are simply too bad to have a chance this weekend.

The Dolphins are currently reeling from one of the most embarrassing losses that the NFL has seen in years. In Week 7, against the Denver Broncos, the Fins led 15-0 with less than three minutes to go in the fourth quarter. Somehow, they managed to lose the game by a score of 18-15 in overtime.

I don't care who you are, it takes a few weeks to get over a loss like that.

This weekend, Miami travels to MetLife Stadium to face the 4-2 New York Giants who have won four of their last five games and are coming off a bye. The Dolphins are—in my estimation—the worst team in the NFL. This weekend will not be the time they turn things around.

Miami has Matt Moore at quarterback and he shouldn't inspire confidence in anyone. While the Giants certainly haven't looked like a special team this season, there is no reason to believe the Dolphins can beat them. 

This weekend, the Rams face a 5-2 New Orleans Saints team coming off a 62-7 thrashing of the Indianapolis Colts. The Saints currently boast the league's second-ranked offense, averaging 467.1 yards per game, while they are also scoring an NFL-best 34.1 points per contest.

The Rams won't have an answer for Drew Brees' offense. They currently have the league's 29th defense, a unit that is allowing 410.3 yards per game. St. Louis is also 31st in points allowed, surrendering 28.5 per game.

The Saints are rolling offensively, and like the Dolphins, the Rams will simply have no answer for their opponent in Week 8.
