NFL Weekly Pick 'em- Week 8
1546 sats \ 33 comments \ @grayruby 27 Oct 2023 meta
It's that time of week again and it could not come fast enough after last week's debacle. Our defending champ is @wumbo and a win is a win but 1/3 is nothing to write home about. I am feeling good about a redemption week for everyone. I predict multiple 3/3's this week.
Here are your games:
Saints v.s Colts Bears v.s Chargers- SNF Raiders v.s Lions- MNF Tiebreaker: Total points in the Raiders v.s Lions game.
Good Luck!

Saints Chargers Lions 40 points, which I also believe will be Detroit's margin of victory

Hot Damn. 3/3 and tiebreaker right on the button. First time we have had that. Closest before was 1 point off.

And, after what we all just sat through, it couldn't feel more hollow.
I was very happy seeing that FG veer wildly off target, though.

Yikes. Really down on your Raiders. Is Jimmy back?
I am trying to find out if Purdy is playing Sunday. He practiced today but haven't heard the official announcement yet.

Shanahan just did the injury presser. Looks like Brock decision will come tomorrow. Also unsure on Williams. Deebo out.

I guess they'll just have to get by with the other half-dozen All-Pros on the roster.

Need a W after two losses to weaker opponents. Bengals haven't looked great this year but Burrow is healthy and they are coming off a bye and they need a W too to stay in the hunt in that division. Should be a good game.

You hear they fined Hicks for the hit which concussed purdy? They allegedly pinpointed it to one "tushpush" in which purdy played afterwards and they never took him out. But no... They can identify exactly which play it is to fine a player on a play like that stupid scrum play.

They will fine you for looking at a QB the wrong way. Haha. Just the nature of the league these days. I was watching NFL late last night and they were replaying the 1982 superbowl and Joe Montana was holding for FGs and Point after attempts. Can you imagine a starting QB doing that now?

The league's gunna need to address this "tushpush" "brotherlyshove" BS play. 22 bodies in one concentrated hit. That's not gunna be good at all.

Shouldn't the teams have enough incentive not to put their $40 million QB's in those situations? I don't see why the league needs to ban it.

I'm not sure banning it is the route. But it certainly as a play need to be addressed to find a way to ensure that contact with the head isn't occuring.

The Lions need a get-right game and the Raiders are the ultimate get-right opponent. The Fightin' Dan Campbell's are going to tear through them like tissue paper.
Word is McDaniels might be fired if it's embarrassing enough.

Nothing like the Commissioner putting the down the current champion. Don't expect a warm welcome at the next owners meeting.

Damn the Lions missing a gimmie FG cost you. Undisciplined hit the tiebreaker right on. But 3/3 is impressive. See picking shaming works.

Colts are a little bit undervalued this year no? They play tough at home. Easy ass schedule for the rest of the year. They could still get a wildcard.
