NFL Odds and Predictions Week Eight

Last week, I finished 7-7 on my NFL picks. I then vowed to make major improvements this week and finish above .500. Was I able to do it? Actually, I’m proud to say that I was. I finished week seven with a record of 9-3, improving my season record against the line to 42-38-1. Now I’m looking to keep the momentum going and bring you another week of winning NFL predictions.

Here goes nothing!


WEEK EIGHT NFL BYES
