Dallas Cowboys (3-3) at Washington Redskins (3-3) When both are at full strength, these two teams are pretty evenly matched, but the Redskins are dealing with a number of injuries going into this game, while the Cowboys are as healthy as they’ve been all season. The Redskins get Josh Norman…

Continue reading →: Houston Texans at Seattle Seahawks: 2017 Week 8 NFL Pick
Houston Texans (3-3) at Seattle Seahawks (4-2) When this line opened at 5.5 early in the week, I was strongly considering betting on the Seahawks.

San Francisco 49ers (0-7) at Philadelphia Eagles (6-1) The Eagles defeated the Redskins 34-24 last week on Monday Night Football, but it may end up being a case of winning the battle and losing the war, as they lost middle linebacker Jordan Hicks and left tackle Jason Peters for the…

Indianapolis Colts (2-5) at Cincinnati Bengals (2-4) The Browns and 49ers are both winless at 0-7, but you could make an argument that the Colts are worse than both of them. The Colts have 2 wins, but they both came by just a field goal at home, against the 49ers…
