The San Francisco 49ers are a good football team. They’ve overcome some giant hurdles with regards to injuries, yet they still keep on ticking. The Seahawks are obviously a good squad as well, despite having a weak defense. There are quite a few better games to bet in Week 8, as this game lacks value due to no clear path to winning. Loot gives Predictem readers his take on who he thinks will cover.
Fishing point spreads usually result in fishy outcomes. But actually, it may not be fishy at all! The Broncos have beaten the Chargers 10 out of their last 13 matchups. This is surely Week 8’s sucker bet of the week! Get Loot’s LAC/Den pick here!
The Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens matchup has been one of the best in the NFL over the past few years. Balt. has held a slight edge since Lamar Jackson became their starter, winning three of the last four in the matchup. The Sportsbooks have installed the Ravens as -3.5 favorites Sunday in what should be Week 8’s most exciting game. Get Loot’s Pit/Bal pick here!
After 7 Weeks of NFL football, the opinion of most wiseguys is the Colts are overrated/overvalued and the Lions are trending in the right direction. A running back doesn’t make a team, however, DeAndre Swift will provide a much needed boost to the Detroit run game as he’s head and shoulders better than any back the Lions have put on the field since the retirement of Barry Sanders! Get Loot’s Indy/Detroit pick to cover the spread here!
A Western Kentucky Hilltoppers vs. Brigham Young Cougars game isn’t one we’d usually cover, but with it being Halloween and the last game of the night, a lot of college football bettors will be looking for a bailout game and to cash a ticket! Get Loot’s WKU/BYU pick here!
The Atlanta Falcons blew yet another lead last week, losing on the final play of the game. It’s a tough proposition, as Mike Davis (or CMC) is likely to have a strong showing vs. the Dirty Birds’ weakness, which is stopping the run and stopping pass receiving running backs. Get Loot’s TNF pick here!
Most east coast bettors aren’t familiar with Mountain West college football so don’t bet it. Despite these schools having a lesser quality of athlete, they play an exciting brand of football. These schools often employ the same coaches, same style of football and operate in a plug and play operation. This makes for more predictability, which creates a higher winning percentage with regards to betting. Stop missing out and start increasing your chances of winning!
It’s so beautiful to see Big Ten college football back in action! It gave last Saturday somewhat of a magical feeling; one that has been missing from our lives for WAY too long! Week 9 NCAA foots returns even better, with the Ohio State Buckeyes heading Beaver Stadium to take on the Penn State Nittany Lions. Get Loot’s OSU/PSU pick here!
With Goff’s play always seemingly being so much better at home and the Chicago Bears being a 3 yards and a cloud of dust team, it’s tough to fathom Chicago covering the 5.5 spread this week. The Rams may be in a blowup spot here in Week 7 vs. a Chicago team that doesn’t seem to be able to get it going on the offensive side of the ball.
Week 8 Sunday Night Football promises to be exciting when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head to Las Vegas to play the Raiders. TB comes in favored by -3 vs. a Raiders team that knocked off the Chiefs and got to take a week off. Live underdog or will the Black Hole carryover to Sin City? Loot takes his best shot at picking a spread winner.
