NFL Picks 2017: Week eight

Uff Da.

We’re nearly at the halfway mark of the season and everyone still seems to be foundering with their picks.

Last week 8-6-1 paced the picks, with two selectors finishing .500 or worse.

Here are the standings:

And here are our picks for week eight:

Game of the Week: Philadelphia at Dallas – The Eagles played well enough last week that few teams in the league would beat them. A couple weeks earlier, they played badly enough where few teams would beat them. Which version of Philly shows up this week will determine who wins, because the Cowboys are steady. I don’t think Dallas is great, but grudgingly I’d say they’re pretty good.

Game of the Weak: New York Jets at Cleveland – I keep thinking the Browns are going to win a game. They play hard. I’d like to see it happen. But they keep losing. And the schedule gets tough for a while after this game. The Jets … wtf? Hard to know what you’re going to get week in and week out from this team. I predict a late Ryan Fitzpatrick interception gets housed. But in the end, who cares?
