NFL Week 8 Pick 'em Pool Trends

Colin Wynner

Pretty much a regular
Week 7 recap - a blood bath for the pool! Lop-sided favorites went a very Trea Truner-esque 1-8 (Seahawks luck box cover saved the collar). Overall it was one of the worst weeks on record as the pool finished 31.5%. You might expect a rebound this week, but remember if you go to Vegas with $500 in gambling funds, Vegas doesn't 499 of it, they want all 500 and they still want their parking money!

Reminder that lines freeze Thursday around 10 MST.

My Picks:

Broncos +7 - feels like an automatic play getting a touchdown at home in a division game
Commandos +7 - feels like an automatic play getting a touchdown at home in a division game
Patriots +9.5 - Mac and Cheese on the road? This is one I won't watch or if I watch it will be in a straitjacket.
Bengals +3.5 - I just cannot quit this Bengals team
Packers +1.5 - it's getting in front of that Vikings train but I am going to give it a try
Steelers +2.5 - I thought for sure this would be a significant public dog, glad it's not but woke up today and don't feel good about it.

Good luck!
