NFL Picks for Week 8

Detroit Lions (5-2) at Atlanta Falcons (2-5) 10/26/2014  –  Free NFL Picks for Week 8

Latest Odds:  Detroit -4    Over/Under 47

Entering the season, both of these teams were expected to light up scoreboards with their high powered offenses.  Unfortunately, for the most part, both teams have struggled offensively.  For Detroit, the absence of WR Calvin Johnson (not feeling 100%) has really affected QB Matthew Stafford and the Lions offense from putting points on the board.  Luckily, their defense has been stellar and a major reason for their 5-2 records.

QB Matt Ryan is having another inconsistent year – largely due to being under pressure every time he drops back to throw.  WR’s Julio Jones and Roddy White are extremely talented and need to be more involved if the Falcons want to make a run for the playoffs.

I believe both offenses continue to struggle to put points on the board in this game.

St. Louis Rams (2-4) at Kansas City Chiefs (3-3) – Free NFL Picks for Week 8

Latest Odds:  Kansas City -7   Over/Under 44

The Rams are riding high following an upset win at home last week versus the Seahawks 28-26.  Backup QB Austin Davis has been playing well and Backup RB Tre Mason had his breakout game last week.  Will the momentum continue on the road this week at Arrowhead Stadium?

The Chiefs are also coming off an upset victory against their AFC West rivals the Chargers.  Jamaal Charles and the Chiefs are a difficult opponent at home.  I expect them to run all over the Rams and control ball and field possession.

Recent Betting Trends:

Rams are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 meetings.

Over is 8-1 in Rams last 9 games in October.

Chiefs are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games.

Rams are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Chiefs are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games.
