NFL Week in Review – Week 8 Wagering Facts, Fiction and Follies

Cowboys 13 Buccaneers 9

While the Cowboys, (5-3), managed to win this flat-out ugly football game, I am going on record – again – to say that I am not impressed – with either 5-3 team for that matter. The Cowboys look like they could be in trouble this Sunday on the road against the Giants, while the Bucs (5-3) will likely take out their frustrations on the beleaguered Chiefs on the road.

Dolphins 25 Bills 16

Yup, the Bills, (5-2) looked like the next coming of Mr. Hyde in losing to the rebuilding Dolphins, (3-4), just one week after handling the Chargers 23-14 at home. Buffalo plays the mediocre Jets at home next week, while the surprising ‘Fins hit the road to take on the inconsistent, but high-scoring Broncos.

Jets 28 Chiefs 24

The Jets, (4-3), must really be mediocre! After losing to the lowly Raiders in Week 7, Brett and the Boys struggled to squeak by the God-awful Chiefs, (1-6), who couldn’t beat the ‘Sisters of the Blind’ at this point. New York will likely fall on the road against Buffalo, while K.C. hosts the Buccaneers.

Saints 37 Chargers 32

The offensive-minded Saints, (4-4), bombed the suddenly-defenseless Chargers, (3-5), badly and have a bye in Week 9 as do the Bolts, who are allowing a whopping 28 points per game this season and underachieving like every Norv Turner-coached team does.

Redskins 25 Lions 17

The Redskins, (6-2), have made a habit of winning close games this season recording all of their wins this season by a touchdown or less until beating the winless Lions,(0-7), in this contest by a grand total of eight points.

Patriots 23 Rams 16

Despite the fact that I don’t like the Patriots, (5-2), or their ‘personality-deficient’ head coach, I’ve got to tip my hat as Bill Belichick just keeps finding ways to lead his team to victories. Even in losing, the Rams, (2-5), look a lot better under Jim Haslett than they ever did under former head coach Scott Linehan. The Pats have a tough road date against the Colts while the Rams have their own touch matchup at home against the Cardinals.

Eagles 27 Falcons 14

Despite their win over the young and rebuilding Falcons, (4-3), I will go on record – again – to say that I am not impressed with the Eagles, (4-3), one iota. Philly hits the road to take on the mediocre Seahawks while Atlanta, (4-4), has a legitimate shot to beat another young team on the road in the Raiders.
