The NFL is stabilizing as the season approaches the mid-point. My weekly predictions continue to look to:

• The underdog has won more times than the favorite ATS
• The league has the most parity in a decade
• The KC Chiefs broke their streak for not covering the spread

What will my NFL week 8 predictions bring to the table, and how can you take advantage of what we’ve learned so far this year?

First, I want to say that I’m not happy with Vegas this week because they have broken their trend for finding a few easier picks. Let’s pick on Brady this week since Antonio has gotten into his brain. Take Baltimore and give the points for a victory over Tampa Bay.

Second, though I’m not a fan of Jacksonville they are playing against an awful Broncos team that can’t seem to score in double-digits. Take Jacksonville, and give the points. Watch the Panthers maul Denver.

Finally, my ‘know-brainer’ pick for the week–Minnesota Vikings. They have the mojo of the twin cities and the resilience of a winner. Detroit reminds me of an old jalopy running with an out-of-tune engine. Give the points and the Vikings to Valhalla. 

There you have it. Your Stupid Sunday Picks for NFL Week 8–Baltimore, Jacksonville, and Minnesota. Though I’m taking all favorites, I plan to break my two-out-of-three streak this week.
