NFL: Upset of the Week - Week 8

[PanthersPens62]

I know I'm going to regret this and this is simply going on a hunch. But the Panthers are due to win a game at some point and the Texans may be either overconfident or in a spot to take a winless opponent lightly. Stroud has been great but is due for a stinker. Official pick:

Panthers over Texans

Texans favored by 3

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Vikes/Packers is now a pick 'em

Steelers over Jaguars for me. It's the Steelers, they are home and the Jaguars convince no one unless they are facing the Colts, I fully expect an ugly Steelers W like usual.

Week 2: Steelers over Browns (W)
Week 3: Saints over Packers (L)
Week 4: Dolphins over Bills (L)
Week 5: Cardinals over Bengals (L)

Vikings are now favorites so...


Steelers +2.5 over Jaguars

 

[TheAngryHank]

3-4
Browns

 

[Pestilence]

Colts vs Saints has PK on Ceasars, but rest of the sportsbooks have Colts as underdogs. Is this considered a PK here?

The PK line seems to be an outlier so for now you can use the Colts as your pick, but keep an eye on it in case more change to PK or have Colts as favorite.

 

[Pestilence]

Lets try then

Week 1: Titans over Saints (L)
Week 2: Steelers over Browns (W)
Week 3: New Orleans over Green Bay (L)
Week 4: Green Bay over Detroit (L)
Week 5: New Orleans over Patriots (W)
Week 6: Chargers over Cowboys (L)
Week 7: Jaguars over Saints (W)

Week 8: Colts over Saints

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Season - 2-5

Colts over Saints sounds good to me.

 

[GKJ]

This might be off the reservation, it’s hard to believe the 49ers would lose 3 in a row, but the 49ers are on a short week while the Bengals had the bye, and presuming that finally has Joe Burrow healthy. Bengals are -4, I’ll roll the dice they pull out a close one and reassert themselves.

This took real guts

This took real guts

I thought the Niners would win.

But...I am not surprised Cincinnati won.

Burrow is much better than Purdy. It looks like he is healthy. And the Bengals appear to be over their early season struggles.

Purdy needs things to be perfect in order to succeed. Not a recipe for success in QB driven league.
