NFL WEEK 8 SHOWDOWN: Undefeated Vikings Face Major Upset Threat as Chiefs, Cowboys and Packers Battle in High-Stakes Football Weekend!
Last week's games were surprising‼️ For the first time all season 7 teams won by 9 or more points -- whereas the pervious week, 12 of the 14 games ended within one score. Looking ahead to this week's schedule, I would be flabbergasted if there were more than three games that ended by more than one score, as every matchup this week is a tossup. My week 8 winners TNF --Panthers (3-3) @ Packers (4-3) Both these teams are so inconsistent and that’s the reason they are both around

Last season the New England Patriots did just that by winning their Division and the American Football Conference before losing 29-13 in Super Bowl LX to the Seattle Seahawks.
