The arrow is pointing up, up and away brothers and sisters. Let’s acquire dollars with our Week 8 NFL Picks!
Jacksonville @ Tennessee (-3.5): What an uninspiring way to get this Week 8 kicked off. This line’s dead on, so I’ll take the better QB and the home team. Pick: Tennessee Washington vs. Cincinnati (-3): Across the Atlantic is where we track down two very up-and-down teams through the season’s first half. I’m buying into the Queen City Jungle Cats with Tyler Eifert and Vontaze Burfict returning and Boyd growing as an ascending squad going forward. It continues here. Pick: Cincinnati Green Bay @ Atlanta (-3): Aaron Rodgers got some things going in the second half against Chicago with Ty Montgomery out of the backfield and much-maligned Davante Adams outside. How Knile Davis is packaged into the offense with 10 days of prep time will be interesting to watch. Julio Jones against a Packers secondary still missing its top 3 corners? #ExpectFireworks Pick: Green Bay Detroit @ Houston (-2.5): Not many will give Brock Osweiler the benefit of the doubt after a pathetic showing on MNF, but the Lions defense at home is not the same as Denver’s in front of a Mile High prime time crowd. Pick: Houston Drew Brees could have another big week.
Seattle @ New Orleans (+2.5): Russell Wilson is just not the same player with his bum wheel, while Drew Brees has dipped into the Tom Brady fountain of youth. I like the Saints outright. Pick: New Orleans
New England @ Buffalo (+6.5): This rematch of the Tom Brady-less Week 4 contest is likely to be a rout, particularly if LeSean McCoy is out. Pick: New England New York Jets @ Cleveland (+3): A very interesting matchup given the two teams’ lacking performances, with the potential return of folk hero Josh McCown contrasting against Ryan Fitzpatrick‘s complaints about Todd Bowles‘ staff giving up on him. Could the Browns scratch the win column…!? Pick: Cleveland Oakland @ Tampa Bay (-1.5): It seems like the Raiders have been consistently lined against public sentiment, with a trip to Florida serving as the most recent example. Tampa’s D has been better, but mostly against inferior QBs. I like Derek Carr and Co. Pick: Oakland Kansas City @ Indianapolis (+2.5): I love Andrew Luck, but the Colts D is trash, and at some point, I’m going to have to actually take that into account. The Chiefs are good and getting better, but are they really ~6 points better on a neutral field? Nah. Pick: Indianapolis San Diego @ Denver (-4): Wait, what? Vegas must love them some SuperChargers. The Broncos should be laying at least a TD. Pick: Denver Arizona @ Carolina (-3): Vegas is buying into the notion that the Panthers out of the bye will look more like the 2015 version. With Patrick Peterson on Kelvin Benjamin, I’m dubious how Cam Newton‘s offense scores points here. Pick: Arizona Philadelphia @ Dallas (-4): The line seems about right, but I think in a low-scoring game the extra point will be key. Pick: Philadelphia Minnesota @ Chicago (+5): Not a ton of reason to believe in the home dogs with the return of a gimpy Jay Cutler in a town that has all eyes on the Cubs. That being said, I think we’ve begun the demise of a terrible Minnesota offense. Mike Zimmer’s troops will be ready off their first loss… but not to cover. Pick: Chicago Tweets by RealTheUnderdog
