Continue reading →: San Francisco 49ers at Chicago Bears: 2021 Week 8 NFL Pick
San Francisco 49ers (2-4) at Chicago Bears (3-4) I expected the 49ers to make a big leap in win total this season, after finishing 6-10 a year ago. I expected that because they were likely to have better injury luck and a better turnover margin, after finishing worst in adjusted…

Philadelphia Eagles (2-5) at Detroit Lions (0-7) Neither of these teams has an impressive record, but both teams have been better than their record. The Lions are the league’s last remaining winless team, but they have faced an above average schedule and are not getting blown out most weeks. On…

Los Angeles Rams (6-1) at Houston Texans (1-6) The Texans were expected by most to be one of, if not the worst team in the league this season. They threw some people off the scent of how terrible they were by winning week one, but that was because veteran quarterback…

Pittsburgh Steelers (3-3) at Cleveland Browns (4-3) The Browns have had among the worst injury luck in the league.

Washington Football Team (2-5) at Denver Broncos (3-4) The Broncos got off to a 3-0 start, but have completely collapsed since then, losing four straight games by a combined 37 points. It’s easy to say that the Broncos stopped winning because their schedule got harder, as their three wins came…

Carolina Panthers (3-4) at Atlanta Falcons (3-3) Both of these teams have won three games each, but that has more to do with who they have played than either team being good or even average. The Falcons’ three wins came against the Giants, Jets, and Dolphins, who are a combined…

Continue reading →: New York Giants at Kansas City Chiefs: 2021 Week 8 NFL Pick
New York Giants (2-5) at Kansas City Chiefs (3-4) The Chiefs shockingly scored just 3 points last week against a Titans defense that was mediocre statistically coming into last week. Despite that uncharacteristically poor performance, the Chiefs still rank 1st on the season in first down rate at 39.5% and…

Cincinnati Bengals (5-2) at New York Jets (1-5) These two teams had completely opposite weeks last week. While the Bengals pulled a big upset win in Baltimore by 24 points, the Jets were blown out in a 41-point loss in New England and lost their starting quarterback Zach Wilson for…

Continue reading →: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints: 2021 Week 8 NFL Pick
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-1) at New Orleans Saints (4-2) Typically, NFL teams gradually lose talent as the season goes on, with players getting hurt as the season goes on. The Saints haven’t followed that pattern though, as they entered the season missing several key players, lost a few more players…

New England Patriots (3-4) at Los Angeles Chargers (4-2) The Patriots are just 3-4 with their three wins coming against the worst teams in the league in the Texans and the Jets (twice), but they’ve been very close to picking up a couple other wins, with three of their four…
