Eight weeks into the NFL season and we have seen some great action so far.
We no longer have an undefeated team as Arizona was the last unbeaten team and they lost to the Packers. We have just one team that has yet to win in the Detroit Lions. As for this weekend I can guarantee that we will get some more great drama.
So here are the picks.
Lock of the week (8-0, last week Kansas City was the pick)
Los Angeles Chargers over the Philadelphia Eagles. There are more obvious picks here this week than this one but I feel it. LA has had a couple of bad weeks in a row and their talent is better than they are playing. Look for the Chargers to get their 3rd win of the season while traveling East.
Upset of the week (2-6, lost badly with the Jaguars over the Seahawks last week)
Panthers over the New England Patriots. New England is a team people talk about more and likely over value more. They certainly will over value them over Carolina this week. It is looking like Christian McCaffrey could return this week and if he does, I really like the Panthers in this one.
Games That I Feel Good About
Colts over the Jets on Thursday. The Jets have two great wins this season but I don’t see them stacking wins at this point. Colts are the better team and they prevail.
Cowboys over the Broncos. With or without Dak but likely with him this team is well balance and very good. Dallas should be able to keep their win streak rolling right along with a home win over Denver.
Bills over the Jaguars. It looks like a mismatch, and it will be one. Buffalo is too good and Jacksonville needs more talent in the upcoming drafts.
Ravens over the Vikings. Baltimore looks to rebound this week and with additional time to prepare for the Vikings that should be enough.
Rams over the Titans. Tennessee has some impressive wins lately but right now it is about their loss. Losing Derrick Henry is going to be very difficult to overcome. Rams at home on Sunday night will look good.
The Rest Of The Games
Browns over the Bengals
Dolphins over the Texans
Saints over the Falcons
Raiders over the Giants. Las Vegas will have to overcome a very trying week emotionally.
Packers over the Chiefs even without Rodgers
Cardinals over the 49ers- key will be Murray and his hobbled ankle
Steelers over the Browns.
