NFL Week 8 Picks: Baltimore Ravens and Teams Sure to Score Blowout Victories

While we aren't likely to see another 62-7 drubbing like the one the New Orleans Saints put on the Indianapolis Colts last week, for quite some time, there are inevitably going to be a few one-sided games every week in the NFL.

There are certainly several candidates in Week 8, and while some of those games will end up being much closer than anticipated, others will be over by halftime. Here are three teams that are sure to win in blowout fashion this weekend.

Tennessee Titans

Despite the fact that they were on the receiving end of a 41-7 beat down against the Houston Texans last week, the Tennessee Titans are in good position to rebound. There may be no more welcome sight in football right now than seeing the Indianapolis Colts next on your schedule following a tough loss.

The Colts were embarrassed by the Saints last week and didn't even look like they belonged in the NFL, to be honest. You would have to believe that pride will take over and they will turn in a better performance this week against the Titans, but the team is simply lost without Peyton Manning.

Indy's defense can't stop anybody, and I fully expect Titans running back Chris Johnson to find his way out of the doldrums on Sunday and turn in a huge performance. Tennessee has also been solid defensively this year, so the Colts offense probably won't get much going either. This should be just the remedy to cure whatever is plaguing the Titans currently.

New Orleans Saints

It isn't often that teams score easy wins in back-to-back weeks, but the New Orleans Saints are certainly set up to do so. After tearing apart the winless Colts last week, the Saints will have another dream matchup against the winless St. Louis Rams.

As if the Rams weren't already bad enough, quarterback Sam Bradford missed last week's game with a high ankle sprain, and his prospects for this week aren't looking particularly promising. Even so, Bradford doesn't have anything to do with stopping Drew Brees and New Orleans' high-octane passing attack.

The Rams haven't been good this season by any means, but they more closely resemble an NFL team than the Colts do. I doubt the Rams will allow anything close to 62 points, but I think the Saints will still cruise to a very comfortable victory on Sunday.

Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens received quite the reality check last week when they lost 12-7 to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday Night Football. The Ravens can either let the loss continue to bother them, or they can consider it a lesson learned and simply put it in the past.

I ultimately believe that the Ravens are an elite team, and that the loss to Jacksonville was simply a blip on the radar, so I expect Baltimore to come out with a vengeance against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. Defense wasn't the problem for the Ravens last week, so everything will come down to how the offense performs.

The Cardinals are definitely a favorable matchup for a team looking to bounce back, as they have struggled against both the run and the pass. Quarterback Joe Flacco looked particularly bad on Monday, but he should have a much easier time against Arizona's soft secondary en route to a dominant victory.
