TransGriot 2017 NFL Picks -Week 8

After my first sub 500 week ince 2015, I definitely did not want to repeat that in Week 7 (or for the rest of the season). and rebounded nicely from that with a 10-5 record.

However, so did Mike Watts,   We ended up tied because I correctly picked the Bills and Jaguars games and he got the Dolphins and Broncos games correct.  The Week 7 tie means I still have a three game lead on him.

We are now at the midpoint of the NFL season, and I'm still on track to threepeat.   My fave NFL ballers come out of the bye week with the tough assignment of facing the Seattle Seahawks in CenturyLink Field.

So far our rookie QB is on pace to break the rookie TD record set by the quarterback he's playing Sunday in Russell Wilson, and it should be a fun game.

Speaking of fun, let's get to this week's picks.    Six teams, the Cardinals, Packers, Giants, Rams, Titans and Jaguars all are on their bye week, so only 13 games to select winners from.

My picks to win this week's games are in bold print with home team in CAPS.  Mike's Week 8 picks are here.
