We had another "meh" week. #DajaniDimes went 6-7 ATS but did score another winning week with my top five locks at 3-2. I called the upsetting the on the road, but did not foresee the blowing out the in Baltimore. It wasn't the most incredible weekend of football, but I think we have some very intriguing matchups here in Week 8.Keep an eye on the double-digit spreads. Double-digit favorites went 2-1 last week and I mi sed on all three of them.
Andrei Kirilenko Jersey I gue s the le son is to not to be afraid of laying the points with obvious favorites. Let's jump in to my picks. Peep the season stats below.Top five picks record: 21-14Overall ATS record: 55-51-1Straight up record: 70-372020 ATS record: 125-120-9(2 official picks mi sed due to COVID rescheduling)Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS) Latest Odds: Cincinnati Bengals -11.5 Rookie quarterback will reportedly be out for 2-4 weeks with a PCL injury, so in comes . To be honest, I probably would lay the points with Cincy even if Wilson was starting, but I feel more inclined to do so with White. The Bengals are atop the AFC and are leading the in pa sing yards per attempt (9.2). has thrown multiple touchdown pa ses in all seven games this season, which is the longest active streak in the NFL, and his running mate in is going to win Offensive Rookie of the Year. Cincy is coming off of a dominant performance and I don't think New York can keep up to cover the spread. The Jets have scored just nine touchdowns this season! The pick:Bengals -10.5Projected score:Bengals 30-10Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (Fox) Latest Odds: Atlanta Falcons -2 This pick is more about fading the Panthers than it is
Donovan Mitchell Jersey riding the Falcons. is flailing under center for Carolina and it's hard to watch. He even got benched in the fourth quarter last week during the Panthers' 25-3 lo s to the . I don't think he's going to be able to rebound. I was optimistic about Darnold coming to Carolina, and thought he could pull a " ." Seven weeks in, and I'm out. It's not all his fault, as the offensive line is atrocious. The offensive struggles have also negatively affected the defense. In Weeks 1-3, the Panthers ranked first in opponent yards per game. In Weeks 4-7, they are tied for 24th.As for the Falcons, they have won three of their past four games and is playing well. He has five consecutive games of two or more pa sing touchdowns, which is tied for the third-longest active streak in the NFL. He
Jordan Clarkson Jersey has a rising star in as well, who became the first rookie tight end with back-to-back 100-yard receiving games since Raymond Chester of the 1970 . He's going to get better and better.Bottom line, this Falcons team has been somewhat improving while the Panthers are falling apart. I'll lay the points at home this week. The pick:Falcons -3Projected score:Falcons 27-21Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS) Latest Odds: Buffalo Bills -15 The Dolphins haven't won a game since their season opener and has been at the center of trade rumors. He said on Wednesday that he doesn't "not feel wanted." Which is a weird way to put it. The Dolphins lost by 35 points to the Bills earlier this year and now have to take them on in Buffalo coming off of a bye. The Bills are motivated after being denied by the on a goal-line stand, and I think they will come out with a vengeance. I like that this line is just under two touchdowns and the Dolphins are 2-5 ATS, so I'll lay the points with the much better team. The Bills' last two wins over the Dolphins have actually come by at least 30 points!The pick:Bills -13.5Projected score:Bills 35-21Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS) Latest Odds: Seattle Seahawks -4 I don't love betting on a backup quarterback in , but he's 2-0 ATS according to the lines I've been going off of
Dante Exum Jersey . I feel like this is going to be a sexy upset pick for a lot of people. and the Jaguars have been slowly improving and are coming off of their first win plus a bye week. Seattle provides a different kind of environment, however, and the Jaguars have won a game there. Now that Smith has started a couple games, he can settle in and find a way to best a bad defense. Offensive coordinator Shane Waldron absolutely has to find a way to get D.K. Metcalf and more involved. The pick:Seahawks -3Projected score:Seahawks 26-21Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC) Latest Odds: Dallas Cowboys +4 I am a bit worried about calf strain, but I'm going to gue s the Cowboys take it easy on him in practice this week and that he will play. I expect this to be a close matchup, but I think the Cowboys are the better team. Dallas has the No. 2 rushing offense in the league while the Vikings have the seventh-worst run defense. Even if Prescott is not 100
Utah Jazz Jeresy percent, and can carry him. Additionally, the Cowboys are undefeated ATS and I have made them a best bet in each of their past four matchups. I'm going back to the well. Why should I stop now?The pick:Cowboys -1.5Projected score:Cowboys 27-23 (-6.5) 28-21 over 28-27 over (+3) (-3.5) 27-21 over Titans (+1) 30-27 over Colts 30-20 over (+14.5)49ers (-4) 28-20 over (-5) 30-23 over Washington (+3) 28-25 over (-5.5) 31-24 over 29-27 over Giants (+9.5)
