We are, more or less, at the half-way point in the season. Going into Week 8, seven teams (NY Jets, New England, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Tennessee, NY Giants, and Atlanta) are all boasting five wins and are a good position to build on that early success for a playoff run in the second half of the season. The rest of the league will be chasing the front runners the rest of the way. Which teams that are on the bubble will be the ones that surprise the leaders with their own push for a coveted playoff berth? It will be fun to watch and see.
After the jump, the MHR staff members make their picks for Week EIght.
