NFL Week 8 Picks

It’s ya boy Chris C-Breezy. I am a former QB who works part time at Pro Football Focus. I currently reside in Florida where I am a full time Real Estate Agent. Just trying to grow that brand and chase that bag. Give me a call!

Falcons +2 ½

Panthers -2 ½

Panthers are well coached and building momentum as the season goes on. Losing a close game with the saints the week before has given this team the confidence to go into any stadium and put up a good fight. The Falcons are heading down hill, losing last second to the Lions the previous week. With fleeing confidence and going on the road to North Carolina, I see a high scoring game with the Panthers pulling out on top. I’d take the Panthers.

Colts -3

Lions +3

A game that will be closer than you think. The lions have a way of keeping games close. Philip is well… Philip and he will chuck the ball into the arms of either team with glee. A game I am not confident on but willing to take an underdog with the Lions.

Vikings +7 ½

Packers -7 ½

When the Packers play a soft team they win by a lot. The Vikings are trading dead weight and iffy about the future of Cousins. Aaron will be comfortable and slinging it. I’d take the Packers in this one.

Patriots +4

Bills -4

You would expect the Pats coming off an embarrassing loss to win the following week. It is hard to bet against the Pats this decade. I think this is a different team that cannot win. No play makers on the outside. Do they have a tight end? A young offensive line not winning the run blocking alignments up front. Cam forcing the ball with bad mechanics, I think the Pats continue to fall and the Bills win this one.

Titans -6

Bengals +6

Titans coming off a close loss in which they looked the better team won’t play around with the talent-less Bengals. Multiple Bengals veterans are complaining and wanting to be traded. The offensive line is one of the worst in the league even with no pass rush from the Titans. I’d expect Burrow to be uncomfortable because well… he’s a Bengal. I’d take the Titans to put the Bengals away easily.

Raiders +2 ½

Browns -2 ½

Browns coming off a big win beating the talent-less Bengals get too cocky and lose to the Raiders. The Raiders can run the ball, have an efficient Quarterback with good play calling and will be able to move the ball. I would expect points to be scored in this one, with the Raiders being able to score a few more.

Jets +20

Chiefs -20

The Jets have the worst roster in the league. The Chiefs have the fastest offense in the league with an above average defense. Don’t out think the room Chiefs win by halftime.

Rams -4

Dolphins +4

Dolphins are coming off a bye week and unleashing Tua. Depending on how much you like Tua would determine the pick. The Dolphins are well coached and trending upwards. They certainly can win this week if the rookie QB plays within himself. The Rams are well coached with a great scheme. The Rams should be able to get to Tua and force him out of the pocket. I’d take the Rams but this game could go either way.

Steelers +3 ½

Ravens -3 ½

The Steelers like to blitz and they are good at it. Lamar’s running ability should help limit the number of sacks but with any mobile QB they try to do too much in the pocket and take big losses in yardage. The Ravens are coming off a bye and will keep this game close. My brain says take the Ravens but my gut says take the Steelers on the road.

Chargers -3 ½

Broncos +3 ½

Broncos are kind of boring this year (tbh haven't watched a Broncos game yet this year). The Chargers have a young but exciting signal caller. I am picking the Chargers to be able to pull away in the 4th.

Saints -4 ½

Bears + 4 ½

Upset alert. The Saints with the barren receiving core travels to Chicago. The Saints love their dome and will struggle in the cold that Chicago offers. Foles will make a few big throws, that in all reality should have not even been attempted but hey that’s what makes Foles fun to watch. I am taking the Bears this week to pull off the upset.

49ers +3

Seahawks -3

Let Russ Cook is the best thing in the NFL this year. He has a great “moon ball” throw that his receivers seem to always catch. The defense is a bit suspect but so isn’t Jimmy who sometimes looks confused as to what team he plays for. The 49ers use a running back proof system relying on the blocking scheme but are on their 5th or 6th running back of the year which is concerning. I’d take the Seahawks in this one.

Cowboys +9

Eagles -9

Both teams are scary to pick but the Cowboys should join the race for Trevor. Cutting free agency signings and with a hurt Andy Dalton the Eagles should be able to make a few more plays and take the win.

Buccaneers -11

Giants +11

Bucs look to be rolling on all cylinders. The Giants find new ways to be embarrassing after Daniel Jones falls on an 80 yard run before reaching the end zone, with no defenders near him. The Bucs should be able to push around the Giants and find the Monday Night victory.
