NFL Week 8: Tommy’s Picks

 

 

I thought Week 6 was bad, but it turns out it was just an appetizer for Week 7. I hit an all time low going 5-10, which puts the season total in the red. The record now stands at 42-44-3 and I lost a survivor pick with the Seahawks.

 

But good shooters have to shoot their way out of slumps so we keep jacking up three pointers in Week 8…

 

@ Broncos -8 over Chargers

 

San Diego normally finds a way to beat Manning, but the task is going to be too tall with the Chargers’ injury depleted roster.

 

@ Falcons +4 over Lions

 

I hate betting on both of these teams so I went with Atlanta because they are the home team.

 

@ Chiefs -7 over Rams

 

This has trap game written all over it. Too many people will want to jump on the St. Louis band wagon after their win over Seattle. NOT ME!

 

Texans -1 over @ Titans

 

I don’t think Ryan Fitzpatrick is as terrible as everyone says he is and I’ll stand by that.

 

@ Buccaneers -2 over Vikings

 

Mike Glennon has only let me down once this year so we ride with him this week.

 

@ Panthers +5 over Seahawks

 

This is purely based on my anger against Seattle for blowing my survivor pick last week.

 

@ Bengals -1 over Ravens

 

This line seems way to sketchy so I have to bet Cinci.

 

@ Jacksonville +6 over Dolphins

 

Do I smell a two game winning streak in North Florida?

 

Bears +6 @ Patriots

 

Jay Cutler doesn’t care about his teammates ragging on him because Jay Cutler doesn’t care about anything. He’ll have a bounce back game this week.

 

Bills +3 over @ Jets

 

I hate Geno Smith at home.

 

@ Cardinals -2 over Eagles

 

Carson Palmer is still getting back into the swing of things.

 

Oakland +7 over @ Browns

 

This could be Oakland’s first win of the season.

 

Colts -3 over @ Steelers

 

Pittsburgh is not a playoff team and the Colts have looked like one of the AFC’s finest.

 

@ Saints -1 over Packers

 

I have no idea how New Orleans is favored in this game and for that reason I have to pick them.

 

Redskins +9.5 over @ Cowboys

 

Colt. McCoy.

 

Survivor- Chiefs

I will keep picking survivors even though I’ve now lost. I’ll take a chance on what I consider to be a risky pick this week just because I’m still upset I lost last week.
