The Hoser's NFL Picks, 2011 Week Eight

Welcome to Week Eight of the Hoser's NFL Picks, 2011 Edition, where we'll be elbow-deep in pumpkin guts during the late games. Nothing beats smells like rotting fruit at work for a week.

The Hoser stumbled again this week, posting just a 6-7 record against the spread and 8-5 straight up. We missed the Trifecta (thanks for sucking, Washington), but we hit our Lock of the Week for a seventh straight week, putting us up $230 for the week and pushing us back over the $3,000 mark for the year.

Remember: these picks are just for fun. Using them to wager money is advisable as having Michael Young man first base for your church-league softball team.
