8/7c
Broadcast:
Shark Tank (R) (ABC)
Flashpoint (CBS)
Friday Night Lights (NBC)
Bones (R) (Fox)

Cable:
WWE Smackdown (Syfy)

Projected A18-49 winner: Flashpoint (CBS)

Sort of a tough call as all of this stuff should hover around the 1.0 mark, but I'll take Flashpoint in a tight one. Last week, though, the repeat of Shark Tank beat it.

9/8c
Broadcast:
Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution (ABC, 6/3)
CSI: NY (R) (CBS)
Dateline (NBC)
Lie to Me (R) (Fox) 

Cable:
WWE Smackdown (Syfy)

Projected A18-49 winner: Dateline (NBC)

Man, picking these is practically putting me to sleep. I'll take Dateline, which should be in the low 1's while CSI: NY will be around a 1.0 and the other stuff will struggle to get there. So exciting...!

10/9c
Broadcast:
20/20 (ABC)
Blue Bloods (R) (CBS)
Dateline (NBC)

Cable:
Haven (Syfy, 7/15)
Projected A18-49 winner: 20/20 (ABC)

ABC's newsmagazine had nearly a two-tenths advantage in the regular season, so I'll take it in a close one. But it is likely to vary from week to week.
