WEEK 8

THURSDAY NIGHT GAME

REDSKINS AT VIKINGS

The reunion of Kirk Cousins versus his old team. Adrian Peterson and his old team. Throw in Case Keenum as well. It’s like a lost episode of the Partridge family.

OUR PICK: VIKINGS

THE SUNDAY SLATE

SEAHAWKS AT FALCONS

Falcons are waving the white flag for the entire season. Seahawks coming off a loss at home last week. Matt Ryan is out. NFL may need to add a slaughter rule. They may need to spot the Falcons ten points before the game even starts.

OUR PICK: SEAHAWKS

EAGLES AT BILLS

Looks like the Eagles are out cold on the canvas and not getting up. Bills are at home and the defense will be up for the challenge. They had a slow start last week, look for the Bills to jump on this Eagle team early and not give up the lead.

OUR PICK: BILLS

CHARGERS AT BEARS

Two playoff teams from last year that are in the crapper this year. Both teams desperate for a win. Watch this one end in a tie. Chargers Phillip Rivers aka Ryan Leaf will screw this game up at the end some how and cost the Chargers yet another win. Matt Nagy finally comes up with a new idea to him and runs the ball ten times.

OUR PICK:BEARS

GIANTS AT LIONS

Lions have been playing well with nothing to show for it with tough opponents. They will welcome the Giants with open arms. Maybe even hug them for coming to Detroit so the Lions can break a losing streak and possibly get back in the thick of things.

OUR PICK: LIONS

JETS AT JAGUARS

WHO CARES!?!? I’m seeing Casper with the winning score in this one.

OUR PICK: JAG BAGS

BENGALS AT RAMS

Rams last week finally got back on track with the doormat Atlanta Falcons. Bumbles another doormat and another arse kicking. Rams win easy.

OUR PICK RAMS

CARDINALS AT SAINTS

Return of Drew Brees. It will be like old Jedi knight versus young Jedi Knight. Cardinals have been feasting on crappy teams as they won three in a roll. Saints have too much talent for the Cardinals to get the upset. Kyle Murray should be able to soak in some QB knowledge watching Brees play.

OUR PICK:SAINTS

BUCCANEERS AT TITANS

Something tells me the Buccaneers will have a good day. Coming off a bye week. Bruce Arians had two weeks to prepare for the Titans. Once a month it seems in my opinion the Buccaneers come to life and play a great game. Titans looked good with Ryan Tannehill last week. It will be a close game, but one mistake will cost the Titans the game.

OUR PICK:BUCCANEERS

PANTHERS AT 49ERS

Two teams that are hot on big winning streaks. The 49ers have not lost. The Panthers since Kyle Allen took over have not lost. Something has to give. Both teams have great defenses. My X-factor in this one is running back Christian McCaffrey who will have a big game where he played college at.

OUR PICK: PANTHERS

RAIDERS AT TEXANS

Houston will not have a problem with the Raiders. Texans always win after they encounter a loss versus the Colts. I see the same thing happening here. Raiders’ youth is showing with too many mistakes in games to overcome.

OUR PICK TEXANS

BROWNS AND PATRIOTS

Raise your hand if you hate the Patriots. Can we get the Browns of the second half of last season to play instead of this sluggish Brown team? Would love to see a big upset. Patriots remain undefeated.

OUR PICK: GRRRR EVIL EMPIRE

PACKERS AT CHIEFS

Crazy things happen on Sunday night. No Patrick Mahomes. It is too easy to say Packers. Matt Moore is a quality back up. Plus the way the defense of Chiefs played on Thursday night is the key to this game. Packers are a good team, but they are overrated in my book as well.

OUR PICK:CHIEFS

DOLPHINS AT STEELERS

Dolphins have not been demoted yet to junior varsity. Steelers win with the Beerman playing QB the fifth stringer.

OUR PICK: STEELERS
