As National Football League insiders, experts and fans make their predictions for the eighth week of the 2010 NFL season, they'll have many factors to consider as a few key players may or may not play on Sunday, October 31, 2010, and Monday, November 1, 2010. Week eight includes 13 regular-season games around the NFL with six teams, the Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns, New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles, all on their bye week.http://www.nfl.com/schedules/interactive#/week=8
Among the unknowns for week eight 2010 include New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush, who could possibly play for the first time in weeks as the Saints host the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Sunday night game.http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/10/26/reggie-bush-one-of-many-question-marks-for-saints/ Also, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre is questionable for the Sunday afternoon game at the New England Patriots. Favre has two fractures in his ankle which could end his starting streak of 291 games.http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5726694
