We’re at the halfway point of the 2007 NFL season – at least for some teams, depending on whether they’ve had their bye week or not. And just about the only thing we haven’t seen yet is the Patriots lose. They’re laying 17 points to visiting Washington. Only two teams have scored more than 17 points against the ‘Skins this season.

That’s the biggest spread of Week 8. The smallest is one point, which Minnesota is getting at home against the Eagles. Each team is 2-4, but they’ve both faced some tough opposition. Four other matchups feature a spread of three points. Most notable is the Monday nighter between the favored Broncos and the visiting Packers. Denver is far worse on paper, but coming off an upset win over the Steelers last week.

Meanwhile, we still didn’t know the fate of the Texans-Chargers matchup at press time, due to wildfires in the San Diego area. A decision was expected soon.
