Continue reading →: Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings: 2013 Week 8 NFL Pick
Green Bay Packers (4-2) at Minnesota Vikings (1-5) Josh Freeman was awful last week. He threw 33 incompletions (only 3 of which were drops) on 20 of 53 passing for 190 yards and an interception against a team that was previously one of the worst in the NFL defensively. ProFootballFocus…

Seattle Seahawks (6-1) at St. Louis Rams (3-4) This is one I could go either way on. This line has shifted in a big way over the past week, going from -5 to -11.5, but then again, that might be warranted considering the Rams lost Sam Bradford for the season…

Continue reading →: New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles: 2013 Week 8 NFL Pick
New York Giants (1-6) at Philadelphia Eagles (3-4) One powerful trend is that teams who lose as divisional home favorites are 49-24 ATS since 2002 as road dogs in the rematch. It makes sense. Matchups where the team who is favored is dependent on the location tend to be matchups…

Continue reading →: Atlanta Falcons at Arizona Cardinals: 2013 Week 8 NFL Pick
Atlanta Falcons (2-4) at Arizona Cardinals (3-4) The Falcons are 2-4, but they are better than their record. All 6 of their games have been close and all 4 of their losses were winnable games lost by a touchdown or less. They’ve also had a very tough schedule, as, with…

Miami Dolphins (3-3) at New England Patriots (5-2) Tom Brady has not played well this season. A lot of people are giving him a pass because of the state of his receiving corps and that’s obviously been an issue, but you can’t give him a total pass. His arm strength…

Continue reading →: Washington Redskins at Denver Broncos: 2013 Week 8 NFL Pick
Washington Redskins (2-4) at Denver Broncos (6-1) The Broncos lost their first game of the season in Indianapolis last week. The good news is they return home here to play the Washington Redskins in a game in which they should win. The question is, by how much will they win?…

Continue reading →: New York Jets at Cincinnati Bengals: 2013 Week 8 NFL Pick
New York Jets (4-3) at Cincinnati Bengals (5-2) Both of these teams did similar things last week, winning close games as underdogs, the Bengals in Detroit and the Jets at home against the Patriots. However, the Bengals are in a bad spot this week because their close win came on…

Continue reading →: Buffalo Bills at New Orleans Saints: 2013 Week 8 NFL Pick
Buffalo Bills (3-4) at New Orleans Saints (6-1) I think the Bills are an underrated team. The Bills may just be 3-4, but they’ve been pretty decent this season. They’ve had a tough schedule, with each of their opponents being 3-4 or better at this point. They’ve been underdogs in…

Continue reading →: Dallas Cowboys at Detroit Lions: 2013 Week 8 NFL Pick
Dallas Cowboys (4-3) at Detroit Lions (4-3) The Lions are going into a bye this week. Ordinarily, teams cover at an above average rate going into a bye, which makes sense because they don’t have any distractions on the horizon. However, the Lions are just small home favorites here and…

Continue reading →: Pittsburgh Steelers at Oakland Raiders: 2013 Week 8 NFL Pick
Pittsburgh Steelers (2-4) at Oakland Raiders (2-4) The Steelers have been night and day better since the bye. The return of Le’Veon Bell and Heath Miller to full health, giving the Steelers a talented runner and a safety net receiver respectively, have obviously helped, but I also think they are…
