2020 NFL Week 8 Predictions

2020 NFL Week 8 Predictions

Panthers -2 over Falcons, 28-24

-I’m not sure if CMC will be back, but at least the Panthers look like a reasonable, hard-working, not snake-bitten team. I will not take the dumpster fire, voodoo-afflicted, Murphy’s Law of a football club in Atlanta for the rest of this season.

 

Ravens -3.5 over Steelers, 31-17

-Steelers are the only unbeaten team but I think they are still far from perfect. Watching them, it is obvious how reliant they are on short and accurate passes by Ben to keep the offense on track. At some point that will end, and the Ravens rested and coming off a bye are the best team to do this.

 

Colts -2.5 over Lions, 20-17

-The Colts are absolutely going to manhandle the Lions on both sides of the trench.

 

Packers -7 over Vikings, 35-23

-I hope Dalvin Cook is healthy for fantasy purposes, but it may not matter for the game. Cousins is going to have to push to score at the same rate the Packers will; and we’ve seen how that dance goes this year.

 

Bills -3.5 over Pats, 24-18

-The Bills still don’t look quite right to me; they’re more playing at being a leading team rather than actually owning that role. However, the Pats are a mess.

 

Titans -5.5 over Bengals, 31-20

-I’m always scared of Joey Covers (he even caused the Browns kicker to miss an extra point last week), but the Titans are going to be mad after their loss to the Steelers. This might be my eliminator pick.

 

Raiders +2.5 over Browns, 24-23

-There’s good Browns and bad Browns (often accompanied by good Baker and bad Baker). Say what you want about them, but the Raiders are pretty consistent every week. With OBJ’s injury and Chubb still out…I’ll ride with Vegas.

 

Chiefs -19.5 over Jets, 41-3

-This isn’t going to be pretty.

 

Rams -3.5 over Fins, 27-22

-TUAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

 

Chargers -3 over Broncos, 31-5

-I want to like Drew Lock, but it isn’t going well. I do like Justin Herbert…that is going well.

 

 

Saints -4 over Bears, 27-16

-The Bears are 5-2…they have essentially the same amount of points scored as points scored against them this season. This is a fake ass team. And my Saints aren’t perfect, but they’re a better team than this.

 

Seahawks -3 over 49ers, 34-13

-How the heck is this only 3?? That smells like A LOT of over adjustment after both teams’ results last week. Slam that 3 before it goes to 3.5 or 4.

 

Eagles (NL) over Cowboys, 24-9

-Eagles are moderately horrible and a disgrace to watch for most of the game. The Cowboys at this point are a disgrace to watch throughout the entire game and the post-game press conferences and throughout the week, really.

 

Bucs -10.5 over Giants, 28-6

-The only uncertainty in this game is which, if any, Tampa Bay WR you start in fantasy. Eliminator pick? Check please!
