NFL Football Picks

The Seahawks have dropped three straight including a 31-13 home loss to the 49ers. That has the linesmaker searching for Seattle money making SF a -10.5 home fav. Do you lay the big number or does Seattle still have some fight in them? Read on to see who our capper is betting and why.

The Bills return to action after their bye week desperate for a win while the Chiefs come off a surprising road loss to the Packers in Green Bay. Who is more motivated? Get Loot’s opinion plus recomemnded wager.

Week 8 MNF pits the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. the New York Giants. Oddsmakers have installed TB has -10.5 favorites, which is surprising, considering how bad the G-Men have played this season. Get Dan’s TB/NYG pick here!

It’s rare to see these NFC East foes with a spread of over a touchdown, but it’s warranted, as the Dallas Cowboys are that bad. Philly should be able to have their way, both on the ground with the rushing attack and through the air with the pass. Get Dan’s full preview and Cowboys vs. Eagles pick here!

If Dalvin Cook plays in Week 8, it’ll keep the game closer, but shouldn’t be a spread changing occurrence, as Aaron Rodgers is on top of his game right now and is likely employ an arial attack against a Vikings team with sub-par cornerbacks and safeties. In most cases, the run sets up the pass. In this case, the pass will setup the run and that spells BIG trouble for Mike Zimmer and the Minnesota Vikings.

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!

Our tendency as football bettors is to bet on anything and everything we can, to provide fun, entertainment and enjoyment. That is, until we lose! As noted with a couple other Week 8 NFL titles, there’s not a heck of a lot of wagering value here. It’d be nice to have Dan come in here with a chest thumping prediction, but this came is somewhat of a coin flip. In this preview, he gives you his best take on who he thinks will cover the spread. Proceed with caution! There’s better games to wager on this week!

Week 8 is going to be tough for bettors. The Sportsbooks got absolutely clocked last week and are likely to get it all back, and them some with these coin flip point spreads we’re seeing this week. The NE/Buf game is another example of our office being divided. The Pats have looked like hot garbage. Buffalo hasn’t looked great either. My take is that Bill Belichick is going to run the ball down Buffalo’s throat. Mike likes the Bills to cover. Tough week!

One of the reasons most NFL bettors lose is because they bet too many games. Wagering on too many games is flat out gambling. Placing bets only when you have an edge is the way to win long term. This game (as do many) falls into the category of “flip a coin” on who will win, much less cover the point spread. Our office is divided and you should be too, as this is a total crapshoot. Nonetheless, Darin gives you his lean on this Week 8 conundrum!
