Is it really an NFL Sunday without the Minnesota Vikings? I don't think so. The Vikings played now on Thursday. Now, they have some time off. Here's a stab at the rest of the Week 8 games.
Byes: Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens
Seattle Seahawks @ Atlanta Falcons
Pick: Seahawks
The Falcons have been falling since they faced the Vikings in Week 1. The Seahawks have to respond to last weeks slap-around by the Baltimore Ravens.
Philadelphia Eagles @ Buffalo Bills
Pick: Eagles
This is a must win game for the Eagles. Every game the rest of the way might be a must win for the Eagles.
Los Angeles Chargers @ Chicago Bears
Pick: Bears
I'll just go with the home team in this battle of talented teams that haven't played like talented teams in recent games.
New York Giants @ Detroit Lions
Pick: Lions
The Lions have to get off their current slide.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Tennessee Titans
Pick: Titans
Just going with the home team in this battle of inconsistent teams.
Denver Broncos @ Indianapolis Colts
Pick: Colts
The Colts have taken down some AFC heavyweights in recent weeks. They can't lose to the Broncos.
Cincinnati Bengals @ Los Angeles Rams
Pick: Rams
Not much thinking needed here.
Arizona Cardinals @ New Orleans Saints
Pick: Saints
After rolling for over a month with Teddy Bridgewater wouldn't it be a riot if the Saints lost to the Cardinals with Drew Brees back? The Saints can't look past this game.
New York Jets @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Pick: Jets
Sam Darnold sees no ghosts in this fun little shootout with Gardner Minshew.
Carolina Panthers @ San Francisco 49ers
Pick: Panthers
This is the first real threat to the 49ers' terrific start.
Cleveland Browns @ New England Patriots
Pick: Browns
The Patriots have had one of the easiest first seven games in the history of the NFL. The Browns have the playmakers to threaten the Patriots defense.
-Both undefeated teams fall in Week 8 and the 1972 Miami Dolphins celebrate.
Oakland Raiders @ Houston Texans
Pick: Texans
The Texans need to stack up some wins. They are one of the best teams in the league but they're only a game over .500 because they've dropped three winnable games. The Raiders can be feisty.
Green Bay Packers @ Kansas City Chiefs
Pick: Packers
The Packers should be able to get past a Chiefs' JV team.
Miami Dolphins @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Pick: Steelers
ESPN is considering showing a Dolphins-Steelers game from the 1970s instead.
