Touchdown Dance: NFL Confidence & Spread Picks (Week 8) RE-CAP

As one of my old man's favorite bands would say, "Here I go again on my own." Whitesnake ROCKS! In all seriousness they don't, but R.I.P Pops. I love you. Last week was a very good week for me in regaining the Confidence Picks challenge top spot along with having a very good week against the spread and breaking even on the over/under.

Week 8 of the NFL season has plenty of important match-ups that involve many teams that evenly matched. So keeping up that nice streak I started last week will be tough, but I'm determined to do it. Recently, I got involved with a new website FanvsFan where you can record Fancast shows, which I have done a few. You can find the links to these shows on the Touchdown Dance sidebar. I'm happy to announce that my little blog has been picking up a good number of visitors of late and many more people joining in the Confidence Picks Challenge. So to heighten the stakes for the Confidence Picks Challenge I propose that if any reader or visitor that comes to Touchdown Dance and joins in the Confidence Picks Challenge fun and beats me (McSpazz) that I will wear a dress in next week's Confidence Picks Challenge fancast on FanvsFan.com.

Yes, McSpazz will be wearing a dress for the whole world to see. You can send the video to as many people as you want, but only if you can beat me, McSpazz. Also, you get the honor of having your named place as the Confidence Picks Challenge weekly winner on the Touchdown Dance sidebar for all of your family, friends, strangers and dangers to see. Oh, what an honor. You can leave your Confidence Picks in the comments section of this post or email them to me at mcspazz@tddance.com.

Once again only 13 games on tap, so number your 13 to 1. Thirteen being your most confident pick and 1 being your least confident winning selection.

Lets get this thing started, here's the Touchdown Dance NFL Week 8 Confidence & Spread picks.
