Here are our picks for Week 8 in the NFL.
This is the final week before we can say the NFL is officially in the “second half” of the season. Already, we’re seeing some big shifts happen around the league, with the Colts and Titans seemingly beginning their fire sales — while contenders in the NFC West and NFC North are trying to load up with talent to make a big run.
Two teams that have a lot on the line face off on Thursday Night Football with the Packers hosting the Panthers. Green Bay is desperate to stay in the fight inside a brutal division, while Carolina has pulled off shocking wins this season, and given shockingly bad performances, losing to inferior competition. That game had a 7-2 split, with our panel overwhelmingly favoring Green Bay at home.
Here are out picks for Week 8.
