Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders at Cleveland Browns: 2014 Week 8 NFL Pick
Oakland Raiders (0-6) at Cleveland Browns (3-3) The Browns lost last week in previously 0-6 Jacksonville, doing so in embarrassing fashion, losing by the finale score of 24-6 and getting dominated in the chain game. They moved the chains at a mere 46.43% rate, as opposed to 65.71% for the…

Continue reading →: Seattle Seahawks at Carolina Panthers: 2014 Week 8 NFL Pick
Seattle Seahawks (3-3) at Carolina Panthers (3-3-1) The Seahawks failed to even win last week as significant favorites in St. Louis and now they’re significant favorites again here in Carolina. I like their chances of bouncing back and getting back in the win column here though. For one, this is…

Continue reading →: Buffalo Bills at New York Jets: 2014 Week 8 NFL Pick
Buffalo Bills (4-3) at New York Jets (1-6) This line shifted from even last week to now the Jets being favored by a field goal. The primary reason for that has to be the Percy Harvin trade, as people don’t seem to realize that Harvin wasn’t doing much in Seattle…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts at Pittsburgh Steelers: 2014 Week 8 NFL Pick
Indianapolis Colts (5-2) at Pittsburgh Steelers (4-3) The Colts are arguably the best team in the NFL right now, or at least they’ve played like it through 7 games. With the exception of a 3 point home loss as 3 point home favorites to the Eagles, the Colts have covered…

Continue reading →: Houston Texans at Tennessee Titans: 2014 Week 8 NFL Pick
Houston Texans (3-3) at Tennessee Titans (2-5) The Texans are road favorites here, but they could easily be home underdogs next week when they host the Eagles. Road favorites are 76-118 ATS since 1989 before being home underdogs, including 18-27 ATS as divisional road favorites before being non-divisional home underdogs,…

St. Louis Rams (2-4) at Kansas City Chiefs (3-3) The Chiefs have proven to be the real deal this year. A year after relying on weak competition, an unsustainable turnover margin, and no injuries to go 11-5, the Chiefs have now knocked off New England and San Diego and come…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins at Jacksonville Jaguars: 2014 Week 8 NFL Pick
Miami Dolphins (3-3) at Jacksonville Jaguars (1-6) I’m completely split on this one. On one hand, the Jaguars are in a bad spot, having to go to Cincinnati next week where they will almost certainly be double digit underdogs (the early line is 11). Teams are 40-81 ATS before being…

Continue reading →: Philadelphia Eagles at Arizona Cardinals: 2014 Week 8 NFL Pick
Philadelphia Eagles (5-1) at Arizona Cardinals (5-1) I’m not happy that these two teams are playing each other because I think they’re two of the most overrated teams in football. Neither is as good as their record and yet one will advance to 6-1, though I guess that’ll make for…

Continue reading →: Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys: 2014 Week 8 NFL Pick
Washington Redskins (2-5) at Dallas Cowboys (6-1) Last week I picked against the Cowboys when they planned the Giants here at home in Dallas. That didn’t work out as the Cowboys won 31-21 as 6.5 point favorites, but it could have easily been a different result (against the spread). The…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears at New England Patriots: 2014 Week 8 NFL Pick
Chicago Bears (3-4) at New England Patriots (5-2) The Bears were embarrassed last week at home by the Dolphins, but that’s because the Dolphins were in a fantastic spot, with an incredibly easy game against the Jaguars up next, while the Bears were caught looking forward to this one. I…
