The picks are back!
Alright, ladies and gentlemen, we’re back for another crack at our NFL picks. Yes, the guys who power your favorite Minnesota Vikings website have their picks for Week 8 locked and loaded, so now it’s time to share them with you.
As always, let’s start with a look back at how everyone did last week:
- Eric Thompson: 11-4 straight-up, 7-8 against the spread, 8-7 over/under
- Christopher Gates: 11-4 straight-up, 8-7 against the spread, 8-7 over/under
- Mark Pittman: 10-3 straight-up, 5-7 against the spread, 8-4 over/under
- Sam Buegler: 10-5 straight-up, 10-5 against the spread, 6-9 over/under
- GA Skol: 9-6 straight-up, 6-9 against the spread, 9-5 over/under
- Warren Ludford: 9-6 straight-up, 8-7 against the spread, 5-10 over/under
Somehow, I was the only person in Week 7 who managed to be above .500 in all three categories. . .a rarity, to be sure. A rarity for me, I mean.
Here’s our widget so you can go back and look over all the picks we’ve made for the season to date:
With that, here are our picks for this week, courtesy of the good folks from Tallysight. As always, the lines and numbers for each individual selector will vary based on when they punched their picks into the system. For the latest updates on all the NFL games, or any other sporting event, check with the folks from FanDuel.
GA Skol’s picks will populate once he gets them into the system. For now, as always, we roll with what we’ve got.
Unanimous Picks
- Baltimore Ravens over Cleveland Browns
- Houston Texans over Indianapolis Colts
- Detroit Lions over Tennessee Titans
- Los Angeles Chargers over New Orleans Saints
- Buffalo Bills over Seattle Seahawks

Well. . .all of us are on the same wavelength on over 60% of this week’s games as things stand before GA Skol’s picks get entered in. Don’t know if we’re on the same page this frequently but that seems like a lot. Of course, we were already wrong on one of those unanimous picks. Thanks, Vikings.
In any case, those are our picks for this week, folks. Who are you rolling with in Week 8?
