NFL Picks Week 8: Winless Teams Will Stay That Way This Weekend

Through seven weeks of the NFL season, one team, the Green Bay Packers, is undefeated. Three other teams, the Indianapolis Colts, St. Louis Rams and Miami Dolphins, also have a zero in their records, but on the other side of the W-L record.

The Packers are on a bye this week, so let's focus on the teams who have yet to win. The Dolphins and Rams are each 0-6, while the Colts are 0-7. Don't expect that to change this weekend.

Indianapolis Colts

Okay, we get it. Peyton Manning is kind of an important person to the Colts and their success. Let's look at the last two seasons:

2009: AFC Champions

2010: AFC South Champions

As a matter of fact, the Colts have made the playoffs every year since 2002. That's not going to happen this year, as the 0-7 Colts are having a really hard time.

The Titans aren't a great team. They are starting to come back to earth after a nice start, but they are better than the Colts.

I will say that the Colts are the winless team with the best chance of winning this weekend, but I just don't see that happening.

Miami Dolphins

It's a tight race, but the Dolphins are the team that I am calling on to be the worst in the league by the time the season is over.

They just don't have the firepower to win more than about two or three games, and that may be optimistic.

This week, they encounter a good, but sometimes inconsistent, Giants team. Coming off of a bye, I like their chances at knocking the Dolphins out early. The Giants defense has holes, but the Dolphins aren't the team to exploit them.

Offensively, Eli Manning has flaws, but the team has a lot of talent. This will be a blowout.

St. Louis Rams

I overrate the Saints sometimes. This is something that I freely admit. But between their injuries and lack of production, the Rams are an absolute mess.

The Saints sit atop the NFC South with a cool 5-2 record.

I don't like the Rams secondary against Drew Brees and the Saints' high-powered offense. I can see a few points coming from the Rams, just not nearly enough.

It won't be the 62-7 blowout that we saw on Sunday night vs. the Colts, but it won't be that far from it.
