Pigskin Prophets: Week 8
Guess I've got that old traveling bone
'Cause this feeling won't leave me alone

Long as I can see the light
- Long As I Can See The Light by Creedence Clearwater Revival
That feeling we've had lately is excitement for the start of the playoffs - Thursday's game between Nashua North and Pinkerton certainly helped - and would you look at that, they're right around the corner.

With at least a tiny bit of confidence, here are the picks.
