NFL Vigoal/MyGuy Week 8

Here is the Sunday/Monday prediction report. Most scores are based off Bleacher Report and Las Vegas projections and I list the top players QB (for passing questions) RB (for rushing questions) and WR (for receiving questions). If I feel strongly about a player, I will bold and RED them.

• I answer "NO" to the 2-pt conversion and missed FG question. These are events that are least likely to happen. 
• Most times I answer "NO" to the interception question even though this is an event that is more 50-50. 
• I will most likely choose that a team will have more PASSING YARDS because passing plays are usually longer than rushing plays.
• If a player has an asterisk (*) next to their name, they are somewhat injured. So injured that it may affect their ability and they might not play the whole game
• The number next to the player's names are ranks. 4=Excellent choice 3=Very Good Choice 2=Okay Choice 1=So you're saying there's a chance.

Monday Night

Washington vs Dallas

Coworker (Cowboy Fan) Dallas 34 Washington 13

-- This game is hard for me to pick. I'm pessimistic and I always feel like the Cowboys are going to rip my heart out. A loss tonight would certainly do that. But the Cowboys are at home and EVERYONE seems to think they'll win handily (which does NOT make me feel better). It's a Prime Time game, Monday Night, division rival....these don't always follow "the script." I'll do my predictions in 25 minutes. (8 ET)...so i'll have a new prediction then!
