Top teams in NFL Week 8 action:
NY Giants (5-1) at Pittsburgh Steelers (5-1)
The Giants and Steelers are the Superbowl favorites after the Cowboys recent injury woes have kicked them to the curb. The Giants have a slim lead in the NFC East Standings over the Redskins. The Giants have the second best offense in the league along with the best running game in the NFL. The Giants are averaging 28.3 ppg and they allow an average 16.8 ppg. On the road they are 1-1 SU where they average 27.5 ppg but give up an average 24 ppg. They have the fourth best defense in the league thanks to their 5th ranked rush defense. The Steelers have a commanding lead in the AFC North Standings well ahead of the Ravens. They have a 25th ranked offense, OUCH, but we all know offense doesn’t necessarily win games. They’ll rely on the best defense in the league that has the best pass defense and the second best rush defense. The Steelers are averaging 23.5 ppg and they allow an average 14.8 ppg. At home they are 2-0 SU where they average 30.5 ppg but give up an average 18.5 ppg. NFL oddsmakers at BetUS.com have the Steelers as -2 ½ point home favs over the Giants with the over/under set at 42 points.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-2) at Dallas Cowboys (4-3)
The Cowboys have lost three of their last four games and are riddled with injuries. QB Tony Romo is questionable with a broken pinkie, RB Felix Jones is out 4-6 weeks, CB Adam Jones is suspended, S Pat Watkins is questionable as well as DE Anthony Spencer. Backup QB Brad Johnson was awful in Week 7 throwing for 234 yards with three interceptions. The Cowboys sit lowly in third place in the NFC East Standings. With QB Romo they have the third best offense and they average 27 ppg. They have a lack luster defense that’s ranked 11th where they give up an average 25 ppg. The Bucs only loss came on the road to Denver, they’ve won their last two games. They sit tied for first place with Carolina in the NFC South Standings. They have the eighth best offense in the league with the ninth best running game. They average 23 ppg and allow an average 15.3 ppg. On the road they are 1-1 SU where they average 20 ppg and allow 21.3 ppg. They boast the ninth best defense that is just average at stopping the rush and pass. Only two injuries to the Bucs, WR Joey Galloway and WR Maurice Stovall are listed as day to day. Stand by for Cowboys vs Buccaneers odds.

The Bills are in first place in the AFC East Standings where their only loss came on the road. The Bills are 2-1 SU on the road where they average 22.7 ppg and give up an average 23.7 ppg. They’ll rely on their 17th ranked offense and their 13th ranked passing game. Their defense is ranked 10th overall thanks to their 8th ranked pass defense. Recent day to day injuries include DE Aaron Schobel and CB Terrance McGee. The Dolphins don’t have that much of a chance, but they have beaten a quality team at home.

They have the 11th best offense under QB Chad Pennington who has an 8th ranked passing game. Unfortunately they’ll need to pick up on their 21st ranked defense that allows 235 passing yards a game.
