NFL Week Eight Picks
Another rough week. My picks went 3-5, -1.7 units. My season record now sits at 23-23, +5.3 units. We continue to fire away.
Indianapolis at Tennessee over 46.5 points: The Titans have turned into an over machine, due to the resurgence of Chris Johnson and their lousy defense.
Atlanta +3 at Philadelphia: The Eagles should not be favored here, but their incredible string of victories off a bye influences this line. I expect this trend to end this year.
Seattle at Detroit under 43.5 points: The Lions have not been the point-scoring machine they were last year. Also, Seattle's defense is no joke. Also, Seattle's offense is a joke.
New York Giants -1.5 at Dallas: JerryWorld has not provided much of a home-field advantage for the Cowboys. I expect the Giants to win by at least a field goal.
New Orleans at Denver under 55.5 points: Don't get me wrong, both teams will score, just not this much.
Plenty of teaser options. I'll take all four three-team combinations of the following:
Atlanta +8.5
Seattle +8.5
Chicago -1.5 vs. Carolina
Dallas +8
