We took one on the chin last week as the public once again beat the books. But Thursday night showed hope, as the Rams won as despite getting only 22% of the bets. So we may be seeing a shift in the numbers. Therefore, we’ll stay consistent with our modeling and research and hopefully come out on the right side this weekend.
As for Survivor, it’s been tough sledding but if you’re sill alive there are picks to be made and potential to bring home a big payday. We did hit on all our pick last week with the Commanders.
NFL BETS WEEK 8 (2024 SEASON RECORD: 12-16)
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS +4.5 vs GREEN BAY PACKERS
The Jags return to the states after two weeks in London. They left on a winning note, by beating the Patriots last weekend in Wembly Stadium. The Jags have been known to go on a run at least once a year under Doug Pederson, who looks to be coaching for his job. So could last week be the start of one? The big reason for this bet is the betting handle at the windows. The line in some books has moved down to +4 or +3.5. But the betting numbers show just 13% of tickets coming in on Jacksonville. Something smells here so I’m going to zag and go with the Jags.
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS +3.5 vs BUFFALO BILLS
The Bills are taking one of the longest road trips in the NFL and will have to go up against the Seahawks and their raucous crowd on Sunday. While the Bills have been trending upwards, I still think they are overrated to an extent. The addition of Amari Cooper helps but they still lack some key pieces. The Seahawks finally played a complete game last week in Atlanta and will look to bring that good mojo back to Seattle and pull off an upset of the Bills.
CHICAGO BEARS -1.5 at WASHINGTON COMMANDERS
One team is coming off a bye and the other doesn’t know if their QB will be healthy enough to play. We all hope Jayden Daniels can suit up in this matchup of the top 2 picks in the NFL Draft. But I’m taking the rested team that had two weeks to prepare for Washington. Plus, the Bears defense looks great right now and I believe they can stifle this high flying Commanders offense.
DALLAS COWBOYS +4.5 at SAN FRANCISCO 49ers
Don’t ask me why. But I feel like the Cowboys are due for one of those put up or shut up games. This is the perfect spot as everyone is down on Jerry and his Boys.
SURVIVOR PICK
DETROIT LIONS
Best team in football against one of the worst teams. It doesn’t get easier than this. Famous last words.
