NFL Football Picks

We see an identity starting to form on the Seattle offense. Wilson is a fine quarterback, a real dual-threat guy in an era where that term is overused. Aerially, Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett are still a big part of the air-game, but we see guys like David Moore, Nick Vannett, and first-year Seahawk Dickson now getting involved. Chris Carson was over 100 yards on the ground, while Mike Davis combines for a nice 1-2 punch. Their run-game looks as good as it has since the glory days of Beast-Mode. Making it all come together is a line that has been playing a lot better. Can this Seahawks offense make up for the Seahawks’ defensive issues?

The emergence of Gordon has been a key reason for the Patriots offense breaking out of their early season slump, and he has emerged as a clear starter after playing 95% of the snaps on Sunday against the Bears. He is coming off his first 100 yard game. Can he help the Pats offense take another step forward on Monday Night Football? The Sportsbooks have this line set at Pats -13.5 and Mike Mann is set to give you his NFL pick!

After opening the season with a surprise loss to the Ryan Fitzpatrick led Bucs, and then getting lucky to get by the Browns, the Saints are now playing at a very high level. Over the last 4 weeks, Sean Payton’s squad is 4-0 both straight up and against the spread, including 3 road games and 2 as road underdogs. Winning tough road games in week 3 in Atlanta and last week in Baltimore should put to rest any concerns about the Saints being able to win outside of the Superdome. Are they primed to win straight up in this pick’em match? Keith Allen has a strong NFL Pick for the Sunday Night Football match-up.

Probably the best game on the card from a fan perspective is this Sunday’s Packers at Rams match. The NFL betting boards have the host Rams as -8.5 to -9.5 spread favorite with the total line at 56.5 points. Get handicapper Ted Walker’s predicted spread winner.

With Trubisky, Jordan Howard, and Tarik Cohen, the Bears have fostered a meaningful run-attack. Through the air, Cohen, Taylor Gabriel, and surging TE Trey Burton are all bunched up between 325-329 yards receiving, with Allen Robinson (questionable) not far behind. Against an average Jets’ run-defense and a secondary that isn’t very rigid, this could be a spot for the Chicago offense to thrive. Loot Levinson gives his top reasons for picking the Bears to win by a TD!

The Chiefs Defense played their best game of the year last week against Cincinnati. Kansas City played a little bit more of a bend but don’t break defense against the Bengals rather than being more aggressive and risk giving up big plays. They sat back and made the Bengals sustain long drives to put points on the board, betting that the Bengals couldn’t score touchdowns to keep up with the KC offense. If they utilize the same strategy will the Broncos be able to give a good game? Keith Allen breaks it down and offers his prediction.

Luckily for the Eagles, No. 11 Carson Wentz has been even better this season than he was last in terms of raw statistics, and if anyone can kick-start this engine, it’s him. Unluckily for the Eagles, they have no semblance of any running game and they are facing a defense that has only allowed 6 passing touchdowns all season. This fact is likely responsible for some of the sportsbook action on the Jags. Kyle Cash give his take on how many points this is really worth.

Predictem handicapper Bob Clark breaks down the NFC match in Arizona between the 49ers and Cards . Read how he thinks this will play out and get his suggested wager for this Week 8 divisional game. Check it out.

Two teams on an upward swing take to the field on Sunday in Detroit when the Lions host the Seahawks at Ford Field. Both squads have won three of their last four but the Seahawks have looked better with their only loss being to the Rams by two points. The NFL odds board has the Lions as a small -3 favorite on the point spread line with the total posted at 49 on most sites.

Tampa Bay broke off a three-game losing streak with an overtime win over the pesky Cleveland Browns. Cincinnati has dropped two straight against division foes and now host a better than their record shows Bucs. Does the oddsmaker have this line weighted too high on the home team or can the Bengals take advantage of the sub-par secondary of TB?
