THURSDAY NIGHT RECORD (6-1)

MONDAY NIGHT RECORD (4-3)

WEEK 8 WE ARE DOING THE MONSTER MASH FOR HALLOWEEN WEEK

THE THURSDAY NIGHT GAME

GREEN BAY PACKERS AT ARIZONA CARDINALS

The Packers will be without their number one receiver, Davante Adams, in A short week due to Covid. Another weapon of Aaron Rodgers, Allen Lazard, is ruled out. Lazard coming off a great game in week seven is probably the Packers number two guy in the passing game for the Packers. Cardinals find out how JJ Watt, once again wattage only lastS for a half dozen games a year, is out with injury. I think Cardinals defense can survive in ashort week without Watt, while the Packers offense may have troubles matching scores with Arizona’s high powered offense.

OUR PICK: CARDINALS

THE SUNDAY SLATE

CINCINNATI BENGALS AT NEW YORK JETS

The radio waves are burning up in Cincinnati as the Bengals trounced the Ravens last week.

The Bengals have not been the real deal since the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati was on prime time in the early 1980’s.

We know the New York Jets don’t have play makers like WKRP and the Bengals have. Rookie quarterback Zach Wilson is out. Who knows who the second string quarterback for the Jets is? Bengals will be a top survivor pick in week 8.

OUR PICK:BENGALS

TENNESSEE TITANS AT INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Titans have risen from the dead after the Jets loss. Titans have knocked off two of the top tier teams in the AFC the last two weeks. The’ve taken out the Bills and Chiefs in back-to-back weeks. The Colts are like a bad Jason movie on Friday the 13th this season. Think Jason and the Colts are dead but suddenly they’re here!!!

Titans are just due for a loss after coming up with ways to win the last two weeks. The Colts started their season with one of the toughest schedules and have won 3 out of their last 4 games. Colts win by a ball hair in week 8 and reach the 500 mark for the first time this season.

OUR PICK:COLTS

LA RAMS AT HOUSTON TEXANS

Texans traded away their top running back away this week to the Saints, Mark Ingram. Must be nice as the Rams have played the Lions last week and now get to kick the Texans around this week. The Rams are like the Gooch, from the sitcom Different Strokes.

Taking the Texans lunch money on the playground.

OUR PICK: RAMS

PITTSBURGH STEELERS AT CLEVELAND BROWNS

Are the Browns and Steelers the worst two teams in the the AFC North? Both teams fighting off injuries. Baker Mayfield expected to return. Big Ben Roethlisberger still holding up after six games so far this season. The Browns running game will be the key to a Browns victory at home. This might be the last chance for Myles Garrett to use Big Ben’s helmet as a weapon and crumble the father of time clock.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES AT DETROIT LIONS

It’s Halloween Sunday and my upset of the Sunday slate is the Lions winning their first game of the year.

Eagle fans will have to live through the Nightmare of week 8. They are not going to like it.

OUR PICK:LIONS

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS AT CHICAGO BEARS

Head coach for the Bears, Matt Nagy, is sidelined with Covid. For that reason, the Bears have a chance. The 49ers are desperate for a victory and the Bears are the perfect meal.

Jimmy Garoppolo knocked off the rust last week from his return from injury. Garoppolo is from the Chicagoland area and will have plenty of family in the stands at Soldier Field. Look for Garoppolo to have a big game versus the Bears. Justin Fields will make it interesting for the Bears, but the offensive line will cave in and the rookie will make yet another mistake that costs them the game.

OUR PICK:49ERS

CAROLINA PANTHERS AT ATLANTA FALCONS

Sam Darnold turned back into Sam Darnold of the Jets.

It’s up to the Falcons to put a bullet in Sam Darnold’s brain. Panthers are probably missing Teddy Bridgewater these days.

OUR PICK:FALCONS

MIAMI DOLPHINS AT BUFFALO BILLS

Bills are probably still fuming at the loss to the Titans in a game they had in the trick or treat bag.

The Bills will use the rock they got in that Titans game coming off a bye week and use it versus the Dolphins. Dolphins right now are in disarray as the team now wants to trade for the rapist, Deshaun Watson.

OUR PICK:BILLS

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS AT LA CHARGERS

I’m not getting geeked up over the 54 points the Patriots scored over the hapless Jets last Sunday. The Chargers suddenly regressed in a bad game versus the Ravens two weeks ago. Patriot are improving, but they are not there yet.

The Chargers will unleash their aerial attack and it will be too hard to handle for the Patriot defense to even try to contain.

OUR PICK:CHARGERS

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS AT SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

This was a tough call kind of match up. I was leaning Jaguars, who won their first game last time they played on another continent. Seattle without Russell Wilson has played tough in losses to some elite teams of the NFL.

On Halloween, we will find out Geno Smith’s body has an imposter. Smith is due for a NFL victory behind center as a starting quarterback even if it’s not him in his own body. Do you think Pete Carroll is an Earthling?

OUR PICK: SEAHAWKS

WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM AT DENVER BRONCOS

If the Broncos and the TEAM combined their forces, they would have one hell of defense. However they’d still be lacking a quarterback.

This is Addams family versus the Munsters and the winner takes the Nick at Night trophy. Cousin It, who is Teddy Bridgewater, goes family to family because no one quite wants him after a dozen games or so. He helps the Broncos pull out a much needed victory.

OUR PICK:BRONCOS

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS AT NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

This match up is no longer that Godzilla versus Kong.

Last year it was Tom Brady versus Drew Brees. Can you say it will be Jameis Winston’s revenge game? Can’t go there yet as Tampa Tom is still QB 1 for the Buccaneers. Winston is still on a short leash in New Orleans. Buccaneers will win this match-up convincingly .

OUR PICK BUCCANEERS

DALLAS COWBOYS AT MINNESOTA VIKINGS

Sunday night should be a shootout between the Vikings and the Cowboys. In big games on prime time, Kirk Cousins seems to always fail in the spotlight. Cowboys look like an elite team in the NFC. The Cowboys have the edge with the better defense than the Vikings. The game will be decided at the end.

OUR PICK:COWBOYS

THE MONDAY NIGHT GAME

NEW YORK GIANTS AT KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Giants earned their second win last Sunday over a struggling Carolina team. Chiefs looked bad versus a good Tennessee team. Chiefs have lost to top teams in the AFC. Giants are not in that tier or category. Chiefs have dominated teams in the NFC East. Look for the Chiefs to rebound and get their record back to the 500 mark.

OUR PICK: CHIEFS
