Now the Week 8 Picks

Opening Kickoff Thursday Night Football  (5-0 YTD)

Dolphins at Texans -7.5 o/u 44.5]

Ok I thought last weeks game was awful and just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse….

There is nothing, not a single thing I can get behind on the score lines, game total, first half total, or even team totals…everything in my body tells me to pass on this game and just watch NBA games tonight. I even switched to whiskey last night when I was looking at lines hoping that it would make something jump off the page….it didn’t. I should just pass and keep the perfect record at 5-0…But players play and bettors bet so I kept looking and one shining little turd appeared from the Thursday Night Shit Pile…Touchdown Props. Since Dolphins are giving up 136 rushing yards per game Miller should be able to find pay dirt… (Hopefully in the 1st quarter so I can watch literally…anything else)

Lamar Miller Any Time TD -110

Sunday Three & Out (7-5 YTD)

Eagles at Jags +3 o/u 44.5

Carson Wentz and the Eagles are coming off another embarrassing performance at home and maybe a change of scenery is what they need. I have a hard time giving up on one of the best offenses of the year last year and think they are going to break out any time and start scoring in a way that would make Philly proud. The Jags are having problems of their own benching Bortles mid game and giving up 20 to the Texans and 40 to the Cowboys the week before. The last time the Eagles got shown up at home they went into the Meadowlands and took out their frustrations on Eli and company. I think things are dicey in Jags locker room right now and their Defense has definitely shown vulnerability to offenses that didn’t have the potential of the Eagles. I like the Eagles tt o23.5 not depending on the Jags for the over and have protection if this thing ends up in a shoot out. Hoping for a 3rd quarter cash and don’t be surprised if there is a Twitter “Special Teams Pick” for Eagles -3 on game day.

Eagles tt o 23.5

Jets at Bears -7.5 o/u 45

The God Damn Jets are going to have their asses in pressure cooker this week. Khalil Mack missed practice Wednesday still nursing that ankle but if he is even 50% and playing he is about to get intimate with Sam Darnold. Follow Mack’s status on RotoWorld Here. The Bears were inches away from the Patriots at home last week and will be running hot this week against an opponent who has already proven to be a punching bag for good defenses. Bears -7.5

Bears -7.5

Ravens at Panthers +2 o/u 43.5

This one was pretty easy …but fresh of a comeback win over the Defending Super Bowl Champs on their home field this Panthers team is definitely riding high and being a home dog on top of that make them the easy choice here. This number will probably move the Panthers direction closer to Sunday, personally I’m locking it in today (This probably means it’ll probably move the other way but if not I get to look like a genius)

Panthers +2

Chip Shot (1-3 YTD)

Browns at Steelers -8 o/u 49

The Steelers will be looking to avenge a tie from week one. If there is anything to be said about Mike Tomlin is that he is a petty son of a bitch who will definitely looking to humiliate the Browns and assert his dominance…and this has rubbed off on most of his team as well. Look for them to run up the score early and keep pouring it on all afternoon with no signs of letting up. Steelers tt o28.5

Steelers tt o28.5
