2022 NFL Week 8 Predictions

 2022 NFL Week 8 Predictions

 

Jags -2.5 over Broncos, 25-19

-Jags are just more talented. 

 

Vikings -4 over Cards, 31-26

-Both teams are very similar with inconsistency at QB and coaching. However, one team is 5-1 and home (with Kirk Cousins NOT in prime time), and the other team is 3-4 and on the road and out of their natural time zone (and on a COD release weekend). 

 

Dolphins -4 over Lions, 30-24

-Two high-scoring but inconsistent, and sometimes injured, teams. However, one of them is 4-3 and the other is 1-5. 

 

Cowboys -10 over Bears, 22-10

-Is it bad that I think Zeke missing this game is better for the Cowboys? Oh well. I have a cousin who will proudly start Tony Pollard in at least 4 leagues this weekend. 

 

Raiders -1.5 over Saints, 33-30

-Andy Dalton is still actively throwing the football…I’ll take the Raiders. 

 

Falcons -4 over Panthers, 24-10

-Last week was the Panthers’ “we have no coach, no stars, we’ll show you” week. It was a nice time, but it’s over now. 

 

Patriots -3 over Jets, 22-17

-The Pats are confounding and I don’t know what’s going on. But even in the dark times, we beat the Jets. It doesn’t help that the Jets lost their most exciting, and maybe best, player last week. 

 

Eagles -10.5 over Steelers, 31-13

-Eagles are well-rested coming out of a bye week and at home. They’re going to roll this. 

Titans +1 over Texans, 27-10

-The Tannehill news gives me pause, but a brief pause it is.

 

Giants +3 over Seahawks, 21-20

-This is probably pretty close, so I’m just taking the 3 points. The Metcalf injury also plays a factor. 

 

Rams +1 over 49ers, 24-23

-Ok everyone. The Rams haven’t been great. But they’re rested and coming off a bye week, they’ve had time to sort out their RB and WR2 situations. The 49ers are without Deebo, they’re still working in CMC, so I’ll take the rare opportunity to grab a point with the SB Champs at home. 

 

Colts -3 over Commanders, 20-16

-There’s more talent on this Colts team. And I’m a little intrigued with Ehlinger. 

 

Bills -10.5 over Packers, 35-24

-Everything inside me is screaming to grab the 2-time MVP with 10.5 points. But, I can’t bet against this Bill’s offense…especially rested and prepared. 

 

Bengals -3 over Browns, 30-22

-Long-term, the Chase injury is going to hurt them. But this week I think the only effect is that it brought the line down to 3 from 3.5 or 4.
