NFL WEEK 8 SHOWDOWN: Undefeated Vikings Face Major Upset Threat as Chiefs, Cowboys and Packers Battle in High-Stakes Football Weekend!

3 min read

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 500 on the season. The Panthers got blown out last week and it worries me-- that they will play well in this game --I am going to go with the Packers at home on the short week and with the momentum from the Brewers wining the World Series


Packers win


Cardinals (2-5) @ Cowboys (3-4)


The red birds have clipped wings and will not be able to stay with the Cowboys potent offense


Cowboys win


Falcons (3-4) @ Buccaneers (2-5)


both teams had huge victories last week-- the Buc's QB Baker is back and he was cooking with gas last week vs the Panthers -- I am going to fly with the Black Birds


Falcons win


Ravens (4-3) @ Bills (5-1)


Until Lamar Jackson returns at QB for the Ravens, I will not pick them to win a game. Buffalo runs over the Ravens.


Bills win


Browns (5-2) @ Steelers (5-2)


The Browns are the surprise of the NFL and look like the team that will go worst to first this season. The Steelers are jet lagged returning with a victory in Paris.


Browns win


Colts (2-5) @ Jaguars ( 4-2)


The Colts had a fire sale trading some of their top players this week—the Jaguars are well rested after having a week off


Jaguars win


Patriots (4-3) @ Dolphins (1-5)


The Dolphins swim to Victory over the Jets last week for their first (and only?) victory of the season –the Patriots were eaten by the Bears on TNF – they get back in the win column Patriots win


Raiders (3-4) @ Jets (2-5)


The silver and black need to attack the Jets and ground them --after losing 4 straight this is a must win ‼️


Raiders win


SLOBBERKNOCKER of the week--


Vikings (6-0) @ Lions (4-2)


The Lions need this game more than the undefeated Vikings who are the last undefeated team in the NFL this season –my upset special --and then there were none ‼️


Lions win


Titans (1-6) @ Bengals (4-2)


The Bengals better avoid getting trapped by the Titans -- it would severely hurt their chances to win the AFC North Division --


Bengals win --MY LOCK OF THE WEEK


Chargers (0-6) @ Rams (3-4)


if you want a good laugh, this was my Super Bowl prediction at the beginning of the season-- ha ha --I'm not kidding ‼️ I would like the Chargers to beat the Rams, it won't happen --the Chargers go to 0-7 --YIKES


Rams win


GAME OF THE WEEK


Chiefs (5-1) @ Broncos (5-2)


The winner of this game will be in prime position to win the AFC West--the Chiefs were asleep in Seattle on Sunday night - does Bo know how to protect the Football


Chiefs win


SNF--Eagles (2-5) @ Commanders (1-4-1)


The Eagles have lost five in a row, and their defense has flown south for the winter--the Commanders are rested and ready to extend the Eagles streak to 6 losses


Commanders win


--NFC Playoff Preview?


MNF-Bears (5-2) @ Seahawks (4-3)


This is a great MNF matchup‼️ the defending Super Bowl Champions handing the Chiefs their first loss last week at home--hosting the upstart Bears and their hungry to win on National Television --


Bears 'O' vs Hawks 'D'


Seahawks win


Byes -- 49ers - Saints - Giants - Texans
