We are at the heart of the fantasy football season!
At this point, you know whether or now you have a chance to make your playoffs. If you don’t, well that’s just another reason the confidence pool is so great! Even if you are down big in your year-long pool, it just takes a couple weeks to climb from the bottom of the board to the top. So no matter where you, you’re still in it!
Week 8 – HERE WE GO!!!!
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
14 – PITTSBURGH over Cleveland – It seems that the improvement that the Browns have made this season is still to lose…but with style!
13 – KANSAS CITY over Denver – As a Raider fan, it hurts me to see how good the Chiefs are … but on the flip side it’s fun to see how bad the Broncos are!
12 – CHICAGO over New York Jets – If Mack is back at full force, it is going to be a long day for Sam Darnold.
11 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Green Bay – Jared Goff has been on a bit of a slide the last few weeks, I think it should be easy for him to bounce back against the Packers secondary.
10 – CINCINNATI over Tampa Bay – The Bengals will have a lot to prove after the drubbing they took on national television last week.
9 – New England over BUFFALO – It’s Tom Brady vs Derek Anderson…sans the Panther defense Anderson had when they met in the Super Bowl (yes, THIS was a Super Bowl quarterback matchup!)
8 – DETROIT over Seattle – Don’t look now, but the Lions aren’t just accepting the last place spot in the NFC North.
7 – Philadelphia over JACKSONVILLE (game played in London) – The Jags are the “home team” in this London game…fitting since they could be the actual home team in a game played in London down the road!
6 – Indianapolis over OAKLAND – No, the Raiders aren’t tanking! They are playing the best they can!...with whoever is left on the roster once the trade season passes. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that THE RAIDERS WILL NOT WIN ANOTHER GAME THIS SEASON.
5 – HOUSTON over Miami – The Texans have climbed their way back to the top of the AFC South…not that long of a climb but hey, there they are.
4 – NEW YORK GIANTS over Washington – The NFC East…wow…
3 – CAROLINA over Baltimore – This is one where the home team wins simply because they are fortunate enough to have this game at home.
2 – New Orleans over MINNESOTA – Setting the over/under at 14.5 at the number of times the “Minneapolis Miracle” is mentioned during the game…the Saints will be motivated.
1 – ARIZONA over San Francisco – The Cards are close to being on the same boat as the Raiders – if they want to win another game this year this week will be one of their only opportunities.
