Prisco's Week 8 NFL picks: Packers over Panthers, Lions hand Vikings their first loss
Key Points:
- The analyst struggled with last week's picks, initially successful with all dogs against the spread but ultimately losing five straight, finishing 6-7-1 ATS and 8-6 straight up.
- This week, the focus returns to straight-up picks rather than betting the dogs, aiming for a .500 record with a game-by-game approach.
- Key game predictions include the Packers beating the Panthers 31-24, Bills edging the Ravens 35-30 in a likely shootout, and Bengals dominating the Titans 36-10 as Joe Burrow gains MVP momentum.
- Other notable picks are the Cowboys defeating the Cardinals 37-21, Lions upsetting the undefeated Vikings 23-13, and the Jets overcoming the Raiders 27-16 due to strong defensive pressure.
- The analyst also forecasts Steelers over Browns, Buccaneers over Falcons, Jaguars over Colts, Rams over Chargers, Chiefs over Broncos, Patriots over Dolphins, Commanders over Eagles, and Seahawks over Bears.
