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. The Texans have exceeded expectations offensively thanks to breakout seasons from their last two first round picks, wide receiver Will Fuller and quarterback Deshaun Watson,…

Carolina Panthers (4-3) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-4) The Buccaneers are a talented team, but they have not been able to stay healthy thus far this season.

Minnesota Vikings (5-2) vs. Cleveland Browns (0-7) in London At 0-7, the Browns are winless to start the season for the second straight year, after starting last season 0-14. However, they rank 22nd in first down rate differential at -1.65%, so they’ve actually done a pretty decent job of putting…

Atlanta Falcons (3-3) at New York Jets (3-4) Few would have guessed before the season that these two teams would have similar records when they met in week 8, as the Jets were seen as one of the worst teams in the league, while the Falcons were reigning NFC Champions.…

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…

Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2) at Detroit Lions (3-3) The Lions went 9-7 and made the post-season last season and are 3-3 so far this season, but 9 of their 12 wins over the past 2 seasons have come by a touchdown or less and they’ve had trouble beating top level teams.…

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…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears at New Orleans Saints: 2017 Week 8 NFL Pick
Chicago Bears (3-4) at New Orleans Saints (4-2) I’ve taken the Bears in 5 of 7 games this season, as I’ve thought all season they were an underrated team. In those 5 games, they went 4-1 ATS, including straight up victories as underdogs against the Steelers, Ravens, and Panthers. They…
