NFL Football

Week 8!  To keep up with our record for the year, along with results from each game we pick, please visit our Gambling Picks page!

 

Eagles (-3.5) vs Jaguars   (Sunday / 8:30am CT / NFL Network)  

  • the Jaguars are down their top 3 CBs this weekend, which should make things a little easier for Eagles QB Carson Wentz
  • still no Leonard Fournette for the Jags, which won’t help Blake Bortles, if he’s even the starting QB
  • Jags have scored 14 (at Chiefs), 7 (at Cowboys), and 7 (vs Texans) – an average of <10ppg – in their last 3
  • the Jaguars are having fights in their own locker room between teammates, and this just feels like a dumpster fire.  I’ve still got faith in the Eagles, so I’m rolling with Philly to take care of business in London, even though the Jags are 3-0 across the pond

 

Broncos @ Chiefs (-10)   (Sunday / 12pm CT / CBS)  

  • Chiefs are 7-0 against the spread so far this year
  • Broncos are 2-9 ATS as a road dog since 2016
  • I’ve just got no faith in the Broncos to be able to keep up with the Chiefs here

 

Seahawks @ Lions (-2.5)   (Sunday / 12pm CT / FOX)  

  • Seattle is 2-4-1 ATS since last season as a road underdog
  • Lions are 5-1 ATS this season, and are starting to really improve
  • I think Matt Stafford and Kerryon Johnson will put up points on this Seahawks defense, who really misses Earl Thomas, and the Lions will slow down the Seattle passing game.

 

Colts (-1.5) @ Raiders  (Sunday / 3:05pm CT / CBS)  

  • there are reports of infighting in the Raiders camp, as Jon Gruden told players they were not trading Amari Cooper… and then they traded Cooper.
  • the Raiders are just terrible, and the Colts kinda found themselves in a 37-5 win against the Bills last week.

 

Saints (+1) @ Vikings  (Sunday / 7:20pm CT / NBC)

  • the Saints are 9-0 ATS in October the last 3 seasons
  • there will be a lot of points scored here, but I trust the Saints offense more than the Vikings right now
  • Saints have some demons to exorcise in Minneapolis after last season’s Minnesota Miracle, and I think they’re fired up for this one

Gary Segars

Gary began his first website in 1998 as a sophomore in high school, writing reviews of cds and live shows in the Memphis area. He became editor of his college newspaper, then moved towards a career in music.He started the infamous MemphisTider.com blog during the 2006 football season, and was lucky enough to get into blogging just before the coaching search that landed Nick Saban at Alabama. The month and a half long coaching search netted his site, which was known for tracking airplanes, over 1 million hits in less than 90 days. The website introduced Gary to tons of new friends, including Nico and Todd, who had just started the site RollBamaRoll.com.After diving into more than just Alabama news, Gary started up his first installment of WinningCuresEverything.com in 2012. After keeping the site quiet for a while, it was started back up in April 2016. Gary then joined forces with high school friend Chris Giannini and began a podcast during the 2016 football season that runs at least 2 times a week, focusing on college football, NFL football, and sports wagering, and diving into other sports and pop-culture topics.E-mail: gary@winningcureseverything.com Twitter: @GaryWCE
